Is it possible that kids with allergies don’t go out as much?

Well, Vitamins C and D are sunshine vitamins are they not? Poor kids today can’t really go out and play all day as they could in the past.

We have 5 kids and only 1 has allergies. They've been raised in the same environment with equal amounts of time in the sun.

One side effect of two of his asthma and allergy meds is a loss of Vitamin D, along with some other vitamins and minerals. I wonder if they took that into consideration when doing this test.

Still, if after we have spent thousands of dollars on prescription meds and allergy shots just so this kid can get through the day without an asthma attack we find that it is caused by a lack of a super cheap supplement, I think I might cry.

Kids who grow up on farms have less allergies statistically, so yes.
