From The Nut-Free Mom Blog: "Many of you have contacted me recently or posted on this blog about how food allergies have created family strife. Some common reasons for this are that relatives don't believe that a child or other family member can be seriously harmed or have their life threatened by a seemingly innocent food. Other times, the emotional ties to tradition holiday or celebration foods that contain potentially harmful allergens causes family to butt heads." (1/13/11)

From The Inclusive Church: "While we often don’t consider food allergies as 'special needs' in a traditional sense, the probability of having a child experience an anaphylaxis reaction is a risk management issue faced in virtually every church." (1/4/10)

(12/15/10)

From The Nut-Free Mom Blog: "The new guidelines are so encouraging to so many because up until now, not everyone was being diagnosed in the same way. This led to confusion, misdiagnosis and possibly unnecessary limited diets--which we also know means limited lifestyle." (12/16/10)

(11/8/10)

From About.com Food Allergies: "Since the Food Allergy Labeling Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA) does not apply to medications, drug companies are not required to put allergy warnings on their labels. The lack of an allergy warning doesn't guarantee a lack of allergens in a medication." (11/5/10)

From The Nut-Free Mom Blog: "Cross-contact is simultaneously one of the most important and most difficult aspects of food allergies to explain to others.

From Allergy Moms: "Although there is a lot of attention on peanut-free tables and bannng peanut butter from school cafeterias, studies show that most food allergic reactions at school happen outside of the cafeteria.

From About.com Food Allergies: "We have been practicing a candy buy-back program, which can get expensive for the parents, and contribute to the idea that kids should collect as much candy as humanly possible. The candy fairy can leave gifts for any amount of candy or even for a cup of sugar, if you want to avoid trick-or-treating all together. It also stretches the excitement and fun of Halloween until the following morning." (10/20/10)

From The Nut-Free Mom Blog: "After many years of dealing with peanut and tree nut allergies AND having my daughter safely participate in trick-or-treating, I can tell you that having a fun and nut-free Halloween can be done. It just takes a little creativity, a little planning and a lot of tolerance for hundreds of mini Snickers Bars and Reese's that will seem to whiz at you from all angles." (10/20/10)

From The Nut-Free Mom Blog: "I customized this recipe from a similiar one I found in the Gourmet Magazine cookbook. One thing I changed was the streusel topping. Unlike many streusel toppings out there, the one I've devised manages to be crunchy and nut-free at the same time. Enjoy!" (9/17/10)

A recipe from The Nut-Free Mom Blog. (10/2/10)

Besides being nut allergy-friendly, making your own recipes offers your kid without all the chemicals and they're much more affordable, too." (8/17/10)

The Nut-Free Mom Blog: A columnist who last year ridiculed the idea of peanut allergies and the yuppie parents who made them up now finds his own daughter diagnosed. (8/10/10)

From About.com Food Allergies: "Parents of these children want answers, and when they don't get the answers they want from their regular doctors, they may turn to "alternative practitioners" for answers. These practitioners may order a multiple of "alternative" tests to evaluate for 'food allergies,' including IgG RAST, provocation-neutralization, applied kinesiology, and body chemical analysis." (8/10/10)

From CNN: "It seems like more and more children in the U.S. are developing food allergies, and there's data to back that up.

From CBC News: "It has become fashionable of late to mock food allergies as a 'trendy' condition, a construct of over-protective parents or attention-seeking adults. I simply can't think of any other serious, sometimes life-threatening condition that is dissed more often." (6/4/10)

From The Nut-Free Mom Blog: "Just to be clear, I'm not talking about bullying, but teasing. Bullying is not to be tolerated. No way, no how. But teasing happens. It's part of life." (4/12/10)

From CNN: "But new research is showing that immunotherapy, a method of giving a small dose of peanut to a patient in a controlled setting and then increasing the amount over a few months, may help temper these reactions. It's the same principle as allergy shots, only done with food." (2/20/10)

(1/21/10)

From Cool Mom Picks: "Having a kid with a food allergy may be more common these days, but that still doesn't mean it's super easy to navigate the supermarket, a classmate's birthday party or even a simple school lunch.

A recipe from Jens Gluten Free Blog. (1/14/10)

From Allergy Moms: "Millions of Americans with food allergies must treat every morsel they eat as if it could potentially cause them to have a reaction, one that could even be fatal - they must 'Respect Every Bite.'
