@polarbearsweet

Have you checked into any desensitization programs? I know of several kids with food allergies that have been helped by these programs.

Good luck. Just remember when you're teased that you're not the only kid out there with allergies, and people that tease and bully are ignorant.

for me i am allergic to peanuts and all other nuts. it sucks for me cuz when i was little i had to sit alone at lunch, and i had to bring in a special snack for my friends birthdays. still today i need to check every little thing i eat before i put it in my mouth. and if i do have a reaction i need an Epipen and then i need to be rushed to the hospital.

Allergies are hard to live with. Thanks for making our kids feel that there are others out there with the same issues.

Food allergies do not get enough publicity in the media nor enough awareness spread.

I am allergic to Egg's,Peanuts and Apple's, and it suck's big time. Especially when someone teases you with it, or eat's it right in front of you knowing you can't have it.

My son is Allergic to peanuts. He is receiving a revolutionary new TREATMENT for his peanut allergy. He ATE one Whole Peanut last week. No problems.

I am writing a blog about our experience to help others with allergies to Peanuts, Milk, Egg and Wheat. I hope it helps you. It's called Just A Little Peanut.

The kids in this video are awesome! Praying for all of you & your family for continued success in avoiding your allergy. I still don't "Get" food allergies these days. But when I was at the allergy Dr with my son under 2 years and his back was swollen from scratch tests, I became a believer as I finally knew why he seemed to never chew his food and choke.. Can't have beef, pork, chicken, turkey, egg whites, yolks, peanuts and sunflower. I wish they had a cookbook 4 us ;-)
