The Letter

So my peanut allergic son is 4 and in sunday school. In my day, sunday school was a bible lesson, a few songs and thats it, maybe an hour's worth of time. These days kids need variety (so I am told, I am also the 5th & 6th grade sunday school teacher). Not surprising Sunday school, includes the occasional snack, candy rewards and surprise! birthday treats.

How do you impress upon a teenage teacher the importance of a food allergy? so I wrote this letter.

Adorable Food Allergy Clothing for the Pre-school set.

With pre-school changing caregivers and volunteers clearly identify young children with food allergies to keep them well.

Bright, colorful t-shirts, sweatshirts & tote bags with the message of food allergies clearly stated in a cheerful child friendly way (a royal blue elephant shooting stars,"Food Allergy...NO nuts for me!", dancing dinosaurs,"Food Allergy..… Continue

Why is there so much backlash over food allergies?

Can someone explain to me why food allergies are so polarizing? (this is a blog post that I wrote for WEGO Health).

I just don't get the anger and hate that is brought toward food allergy kids and their parents?

Any ideas? It's so frustrating and so sad.

New allergy diagnosis

My son was diagnosed with a peanut allergy at 14 months old. He had put a piece of PB toast to his mouth and did not want it. He then had hives on his face and his eye was swollen after he rubbed it. That is as far as it went, thank goodness. Since then his SPT was positive, 15/32(not sure what this is) and his Immunocap was 4.18 KU/L.

After feeling like I was given a death sentence for him, I have educated myself on Peanut allergy and am becoming less fearful, not crying everyday and gaining c… Continue

I just didn't want the teacher (high school girl) to feel like she had to make that decision. He has new teacher now and she is college age and familiar with how to use of an epi-pen. I also have a peanut allergy. The allergist didn't really tell...

Just wondering a couple of things... Why not train the SS teacher in using the Epi-pen and leave it with the teacher/child? I noticed that you say foods containing the label "manufactured in a plant that also processes peanuts" are OK for your chi...
