Some other symptoms of allergies that were brought to my attention by Doris 
Rapp MD, In her book; IS THIS YOUR CHILD? are; excessive drooling, excessive 
hiccupping, the ability to fall asleep but not stay asleep, screaming or 
prolonged crying (pages 102 - 104).   She also states that if a pregnant mom can 
figure out when/why her in utero baby kicks agressively or gets hiccupps, the mom 
will have her first clue to her baby's sensitivities.
Too bad I hadn't read this book when I had my first very wakeful baby 14 
years ago, I would have given up the only food I hadn't given up yet; eggs.   We 
finally figured it out when he was in the third grade!!! 
I have no association with Doris Rapp at all, I have learned a lot from her 
books.
