Could DTap vaccine have triggered DD's intolerances

[mamaheids]

Forgive me, I am not up on my vax research. DD is on an delayed/alternative schedule (and adapation of Stephanie Cave's schedule), and it dawned on me that DD's persistent rhinitis began a few weeks after she recieved a dose of DTap in August. Granted- she has a sensitive nose- eating warm or cold food, crying etc. cause her nose to run so she has always been a little drippy, and last spring she had a drippy nose throughout the weather change But right now we are on an ED (dairy, wheat, soy, egg, tree nut) and I did a challenge with dairy (cheese) this AM. Her nose ran and ran like a faucet withing 45 minutes with thicker white mucous. So we know she is sensitive to that at least- which is not shocking because she was as an infant too. But I pulled out her vax record today and noticed that her DTaP in august preceded the start of her incredibly runny nose, allergic shiners. this also coincided with her weaning. Can the DTap be to blame? (It was a few weeks after that sx showed up.)

There is a thread around here somewhere (search for "does vax cause allergies" or something like that) that talked about this very thing. Basically, the popular school of thought is that the vaccine don't cause the allergies, but can trigger them in someone who is predisposed by overloading the immune system.

I like the term "wrecking the immune system" myself.

So *yes* is my answer.
