My daughter went on a field trip and wanted a school bagged lunch. Our previous school district was great with separating lunches for allergies. Yesterday my daughter had PB&J in her lunch.

Grocery items I used to buy have sea salt included now. Some restaurants use sea salt now.
I react to all sodium, still trying to figure it out.
I have food intolerances. I get very sick with wheat. It feels like I'm going to die. I my skin test showed a giant hive for wheat, but my blood work is neg. I had a positive skin test for dairy, but I can eat it with no problems. I don't understand.
Here in Canada I think they only call it an allergy if your reaction is so severe it can kill you, otherwise they label it an intolerance. When I was in the U.S. they called them all allergies. The… read more
Suggestion on how to help your server in a restaurant be sure you don't get something you shouldn't have
CHEF CARDS
I have posted this before, but perhaps time to do so again. https://www.foodallergy.org/sites/default/files...
You can download these cards which you customize with your allergies or food intolerances. Laminate them and give one to your server when you go out to eat and ask them to show the chef. If you have foods that would require you to use your epipen if eaten - be… read more
It has made it so much easier to feel safe when ordering food at a restaurant!
If allergens are air born, place the mask over child's face. We are doing that every time flying.
