This is a long one... so get a cup of coffee and relax before you start reading. :) It starts WAY down the page (or possibly on the next page) at the "Pre-Birth" post, and will continue as long as I have new information to add to it!
This is our personal story of how we discovered, managed, and (hopefully) made it through our struggle with food allergies/intolerances.

Thanks for posting all of this, it sounds like you've been through hell. Good luck continueing to make progress in both of your recoveries.
I hope you get this all figured out and both of you get healed!! I've had similar, much-smaller experiences. And I, too, noticed huge advances in my dd's allergies immediately after her rounds of vaccines. We have a lot of Asperger's Syndrome in the family, and I believe now that we are just uniquely, genetically hyper-sensitive to mercury. But that's a whole 'nother ball of wax (earwax?)
Strange, I think HepB 2mo and 4 mo vaccinations do stuff too but can't convince my dr's. I am staggering and he still has reactions but because he's not baseline I don't know whats what. He has also reacted to broccoli and spinach.
Thank you for posting your story and I wish you and your family health, health and more health.
Came across your blog while procrastinating today - this probably won't help, but...
Are you using white vinegar in your bone broth? I know they say that all of the wheat gluten gets destroyed by the processing that goes into making the vinegar, but I still seem to react to it (bad reaction last week) so I just stick with apple cider vinegar - rice vinegar would I guess be your other option? You don't say what kind you use (or if you do I missed it :-), so for what its worth... good luck!
I actually don't use any vinegar in my broth. I cook it for about 48 hours until the bones are nice and mushy. :)
OMG! I just wanted you to know that you are NOT alone! My life since having my now 9 month old son, mirrors yours. I have never had the pleasure of knowing what my son is like normally. He is exclusively breastfed. I had no antibiotics or anything during pregnancy. He was a vaginal delivery with no complications. I have NO idea what brought on the immense problems we have had since he was born. I too have tried sooo many things. I don't even think I eat 1,000 calories a day, which has resulted in a 70 lb weight loss, leaving me at only 115 lbs since I've had him. Figuring out what he is having oozing crusty eczema to has been like finding a needle in a haystack. I have only seen him clear 4 or 5 times since he was 2 months old when he had his first and only vaccinations. I have had boughts of depression because I am so isolated in what I can eat, no one can relate. Holidays, which are usually my favorite time of year, left me watching everyone else enjoy lovely things to eat, while I ate chicken, rice, and carrots. Trying to get a doctor that knows anything is ridiculous , too. Every single one tries to convince me I am the problem, that breastfeeding is harmful to him, what a JOKE! Breastfeeding is probably what's keeping him alive. Anyway, I will keep your blog in my favorites, since this is the first time I have ever read anything that I has mirrored my own life so far.

Hello -
I was riveted by your story. It's almost June and I'm wondering how things are with you now. Do you have time for an update?
I found your blog because I have a baby who is 8 months old and I haven't been able to find a solid food she can eat.
Ack! I know, I'm way behind...
I will try to post an update in the next couple days!!
