Luckdragon:
Poor Guy. I'm anaphylactic as well and have had a few close calls 
myself. watch out for kiwi as I had an anaphylactic reaction to that 
and was told by my alergist that it is related to tree nuts(never 
had a clue before that). I feel for you, knowing how impossible it 
is to find things that don't,with certainty, contain your son's 
allergens. I understand your frustration and fear. Best Wishes to 
you and your son! Take care.
