Anyone allergic to mustard? Elder son seems to be, and after a very scary morning with him

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by greatauntoftriplets (a host of the Health group).

yesterday I am determined to find a safe foods list for him, but mustard isn’t required to be listed on labels. Anything that says “spices” or “natural flavors” could be mustard!

He has no health insurance and still owes $3K from spraining his ankle this spring, so no doctor trips are possible at this time. I would feel better if he had an epi-pen, but as a college student he’s already heavily into debt and health issues will just make it worse. To compound the problem, he always gets vasovagal during health situations, so he and dad are writing off some of the symptoms to that. This may not be wrong, but it makes him that much less likely to seek medical attention outside of an emergency.

I hope President Biden can offer him some actual, affordable health insurance!

Is allergic to mustard and onions.
Either can put her in the hospital.
She has to read ingredients carefully.

The Health group is for policy discussions, not asking for advice. Have you tried posting in the Lounge? That might be your best option.

Good luck to you and your son.
