Does anybody know what makes you allergic to sea salt? Drs don't believe me. I cannot eat shrimp either. Not sure if I have an allergy to shellfish.
On another forum, another person had also had a reaction from sea salt. She went to Mayo Clinic and the doctor had told her that sea salt contains "marine copolymers" (which another doctor told had… read more
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. She rolled with it very well. Tried to tell the teachers, but she said nothing happened. Her lunch was raisins, chips, and an apple. She said it was ok because she was full after that.

I've almost always been thanked for using my chef card, I even make one in Spanish and French for when I travel. Only twice have I been told "we don't have anything you can eat". I also make sure I… read more
He typically eats chicken, pork and ground beef. Rice, corn and potatoes are fine. I just want to be able to shop at the Walmart in Mazatlan and know that their labeling is accurate. This is a huge leap of faith for me and I'm scared.

I'm thinking forward 15+ years to when my daughter and her husband get invited to a friend's house for dinner. How would she accept if she doesn't know them well enough to trust their cooking to be safe? Does she just always offer to host? Bring her own food? Eat before coming over?
Make sure they know about your food allergies and always bring at least one dish with you so you know you can eat it safely. Also, we have shown up late and already feed. If they are good friends… read more
I am almost 70 and the allergies showed up about 25 yrs ago. I have been tested, carry two epi pens and Benadryl always.
I developed a shellfish allergy at 43 yes old. A year later I developed a peanut allergy. You can have a food allergy happen at any age… I was told not to eat tree nuts, and now coconut it’s a tree… read more
If allergens are air born, place the mask over child's face. We are doing that every time flying.
