Is it possible for a kid to eat a PB&J sandwich or eat gluten (I honestly don't know WTF gluten is, and I don't care) without their head swelling up like a Casaba melon?
My SIL told my wife that they went to a birthday party with my niece. Non-gluten and no nuts (obviously)
Good Lord, I ate dirt when I was a kid. My dad told me I was allergic to eggs when I was young. The doctor told him, keep feeding him eggs in small amounts.
I don't get it. Hell, I about have to do a full body scrub when I walk into my SIL house before I'm allowed to get near a kid. I watched her spin out of control when her 86 year old grandmother would was her hands prior to touching one of our nieces.
you should be traumatized about the beans, staff of life. As to the liver, not so much. You relatives are doing the kids a huge disfavor, ask doc rockett. I think he probably would say that's how you build up antibodies.
I'm a firm believer in "expose 'em to everything". Whether it worked or not is arguable, but Connor has no food issues, etc. Despite my getting him around animals all the time, his rabbits bother him some.
All the bleach, cleaner, hand sanitizers, etc. aren't doing kids any good, IMHO.

I grew up on a Missouri farm. No blacktop roads for five miles or so, growing up. My "playground" was a 240 acre farm, with hog lots (pigs had free run of that lot, even) and cow pastures surrounding the place.
Row-crop fields in the creek bottoms, the only flat spots, really. I ran up and down the bean and cornrows, ran barefoot thru cowcrap, and was all over the 10 acre hoglot north of the house.
Never been allergic to anything that I know of.
My uncle, UP the road two miles, had a dairy farm, cow crap everywhere, and my other uncle, two miles DOWN the road, had several hog lots, too. I liked the hog lots best, the pigs kept the weeds and brush knocked down, so we could run wild.
Kept me out of trouble, though. I ran around with a .22 rifle practically permanently attached to my arm. I'm sure the neighbors thought it was attached......
You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.
I have a little boy who's almost 9 months old. Momma works late and Saturday unfortunately, which means that me and him spend tons of time together after I get off work and on weekends.
This is our first kid and of course my wife is the typical first time mom who's paranoid about everything from allergies to the boogerman and any other rare disease or disorder in between. I on the other hand have no such affliction having a good memory of what I did and ate as a child that didn't kill, maim, nor even hurt me.
I have been feeding the boy people food since he was 2 months old now, give a 3 month old a pickle spear sometime and see how much enjoyment they get out of it. I'm cautious about choking hazards obviously, no popcorn or jawbreaker candy but otherwise he eats what I eat. And finally Momma is coming around to the idea that he isn't allergic to everything under the sun and that it's actually easier to feed him what we eat than to make something special or buy baby food.
You should see the reaction I get from other young parents when I tell them about the remedy my Grandmother gave me for when an infant gets constipated. Give them a bottle full of equal parts Dr Pepper and prune juice, they love the stuff and it will get the plumbing going again like pronto. Had one lady about faint when she heard, she figured Dr Pepper would instantly give a tot diabetes or maybe even death.
Sometimes it's fun raising a kid the old way in the new day.
My kid enjoys eating chicken feed straight out of the feeder chickens use. Not sure if he's allergic but he, sure gets diaper rash from the digestive issues it caused. Maybe we need gluten free feed?
