Growing up and not being able to eat “normal” food is tough. I would know since I’m allergic to wheat, dairy, eggs, and corn. But knowing kids like this exist make me feel a lot less sorry for myself.

This poor 5 year old boy is allergic to food. As in, every kind of food.

The first thing that popped into my mind when I saw with video was “How is he surviving?” After all, he isn’t as skinny or a frail as you’d think he’d be. The answer lies in his nutrient backpack that he must keep attached to his stomach for 20 hours a day.

You really have to admire the courage this boy has. Even with his condition, he continues to have fun like any other normal 5 year old. Hopefully one day scientists will find a cure.
