Yael big hugs honey...

So far none of my kids have asthma - Mr Wonderful is severely asthmatic and his siblings have it as does his mother. They also all have exzema except Mr Wonderful.

There is a strong familial occurance with asthma - is that the case for you?

Often it is triggered by an allergy. To housemites, dust, cats, pollens or food.

I have researched this until the cows came home - because I wanted to do all I could to prevent it in my children.

There is a very very strong link to gluten and dairy products and asthma. People with it should stay off those foods and ideally not begin them until they are over 2. My children I did this with and so far none have asthma. Mr Wonderfuls sisters 4 boys all have asthma and exzema. Of course that could be lots of things. But if she is eating gluten or dairy products I would keep her away. It really isn't too difficult once you get used to being wheat and dairy free (as well as gluten).

If I can help any more just let me know honey...
