I am 67. I just learned today that I have multiple food allergies. The tests were run in an attempt to identify the cause of constant skin itching.

Yes, I have multiple food allergies myself. My 4 year old son has multiple life-threatening food allergies, about 20+. I made my mother and my mother-in-law get tested and they both found out they have multiple food allergies as well. They are 50s-60s as well.
