My family is lucky. Both my husband and I have some light sensitivity to animal fur (which means we can only have one pet in the house), nothing severe. And it only really affects one of our children so far. But other families end up having to deal with real threats because of these common problems.

A member of the Leaky Boob community shares her experiences with the site, and it’s an illuminating look into their experience.

My child, who loved homemade fettuccine Alfredo (which starts with a stick of butter and a pint of heavy cream)? Now could not have anything that had milk protein, casein, ect, in it.

It’s not a lactose-intolerance. He can’t just drink lactose-free milk and be fine.

He can’t have any animal milks, butter, cheeses or whey protein. His reactions continued going up until his diagnosis had only been gut and skin related… but that doesn’t mean that the next exposure couldn’t affect his respiratory system.

The threat is very real.”
