Fio wrote in her post about severely cracked nipples and use of oral vit E for mom, "She basically only eats banana I think. Her mom said she'd stop the banana and try avocado instead maybe." I know from a nutritionist LC/friend of mine that bananas are in the latex family. Might these nipple cracks be an allergic reaction?
