Corn Allergic: What I Reacted To Today: Out of the mouths of babes, part II

Out of the mouths of babes, part II

Spent some time with the allergy aware 3 year-old today, she unleashed another allergy gem. We were talking to about the importance of brushing our teeth and out of the blue she jumps up, gives me the HALT! hand, and says:

"You can't go in my bathroom, my toothpaste has CORN in it!"

I don't know where she got that one, I don't think I ever told her about my corn-free toothpaste (Adwe Labs Kosher for Passover Toothpaste), and if I did I can't imagine how she remembered it. Amazing. My brain can't hold a new phone # for 10 min. How do kids do it?

About me

Diagnosed with multiple food allergies in 2001, my allergist and I figured out it was really only corn in 2004. Still poisoning myself regularly.

Fun Facts: I speak Mandarin Chinese. I've lived, studied, worked and/or volunteered in Taiwan, Nepal, India, Israel, Thailand, England and the several states in the US. I've also backpacked around in China, Hong Kong, Macao, Tibet, South Korea, Philippines, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Canada, Puerto Rico and counting. Still itching to travel more, and trying to do it safely.

I have fantasies of winning the lottery and moving to a small island where corn is not grown or imported. I might have a better chance of this if I actually played the lottery.
