When he was around 3, I put Skin So Soft on his legs because he loved to, even then, stay out in the evening hitting a ball. The next morning I rushed him to the doctor because it looked like he had been bitten hundreds of times. The doctor asked me if I had put anything on him..and of course I said yes. Well, I should have taken that as a sign he had problems. He never would eat the cereal one puts babies on (rice) I didn't have a clue what the problem was. In the first grade he would come home from school and throw up in our drive way coming off the school bus. That was every day.

I found a doctor who would test him for allergies..wasn't easy. Powerade has corn syrup in it and its a hit with kids at ball parks.

Poor kid, how awful! i’m glad you figured out what the problem was.

Does he have a gluten allergy too? That’s pretty well-known these days but when I was growing up nobody knew there was such a thing. And gluten was in just about everything kids eat.
