    Genevieve has a peanut allergy and mild egg allergy (which she seems to have grown out of now).

    Oscar has the same type of rash every now and then. Do you remember the other week when he had spots? They think it was from the AB's he was on but they haven't cleared up properly yet. I'm taking him back another Dr on Monday for a second opinion. He has been pulling his top up but I haven't noticed if he has been scratching them or not. We have been referred to a Ped who has an interest in Allergies. We were referrd to him because of Oscar's cough but the spots are now a concern too so I am going to get a referral from the other GP I am going to see.

    Hope you find out what it is soon hun.

    Hi Tan, I take Marley to see Dr Ian Humphrey in Clayton. He is a pediatric allergy specialist, but like Jordie said, the wait is long. Marley is allergic to eggs and cashews and has mild eczema. He said the Melbourne winter really flares up the eczema as the air is so dry, which I have noticed to be true. Good luck with it.

    This is a message I was given after someone saw Mackenzie on facebook - she wrote this:

    I strongly recommend she see Steven at The allergy elimination Clinic, that is if she's in Melbourne. By far the most up to date techniques for diagnosing and treating allergies and very baby friendly.

    I have no idea what they are like but might have a look just to see. You could too!

    Hey we are seeing Dr Colin Little in Mt. Waverly. Hes pretty good and I always see young kids there. The wait can be long but see if you can be put onto the cancellation list. Just get a referal from your GP. HTH. We've just found out Olivia has a yeast allergy and her rash around her mouth is almost cleared up.

    That's who we are seeing! Dr Little. My doc said he would try and getus an earlier apppointment if her rash doesn't clear or it comes back because she still doesn't eat any solids.

    The Allergy Elimination Clinic have a good rep in the industry.

    We went to the food allergy expo or gluten free expo in Brissy and went to see one of the speakers/specialists from there.
