When my husband and I were researching in the beginning regarding the allergies we read that on rare occasions kids who were allergic to eggs could become allergic to chicken and that children allergic to milk could become allergic to beef.
About a month ago our son refused to eat any beef or chicken put before him. He used to love chicken soup and all of a sudden, or so it felt, he wouldn't swallow any of it. We recently had our little guy tested for more allergies by his new allergist. Everything in his diet was tested, in an attempt to find the root of our son's vomiting and such. Unfortunately, we didn't find that answer but along the way we got a confirmation that the reason he was refusing those foods was because he was allergic to beef and chicken as well as turkey. Our little man was one of those rare cases who's allergies to both milk and eggs led him to be allergic to the animals that produced them.
The bright side of it is that he doesn't have the same anaphylactic reactions.

We can relate!! My little guy is also allergic to milk and eggs. When he was tested, he also tested positive to chicken, turkey, beef, and feathers (in addition to many other things). The nurse and I just started laughing - it was either that or cry.
