Drew Brees, Food Allergies
Like the Judith Jones thing, this article simply doesn’t make sense to me. I’m not a doctor but an IgE mediated allergic reaction isn’t about flagging energy levels or the cause of restless nights. Could be faulty reporting but this Wall Street Journal story simply makes no sense to this Allergic Girl. [Thanks to @glutenfreefox on Twitter for alerting me to it.]
From the Wall Street Journal Magazine:
In 2004, after discovering he had nearly a half-dozen food allergies, Brees re-engineered his diet, and almost immediately got more energy (he has slowly reintroduced certain foods like eggs and peanuts in moderation). “Now when I cheat and eat things I’m not supposed to, I’ll toss and turn and kick in bed and my wife knows I’ve been eating something I shouldn’t. She has extra incentive to keep my diet in check.”

My son still likes the fact that he and Drew have the same allergies. He feels like he has a food allergy buddy :) I'm not going to tell him that it might not be quite the same.

I agree that he probably has intolerances rather than allergies, but don't discount the symptoms too fast.
