Help for Parents of Food Allergic Kids

Allergy and Asthma Network is a great resource for parents. They have two new videos available that may be helpful. The first one features Chef Ryan Hutmacher, owner of Centered Chef. He finds a family in the grocery store who is struggling with a long list of unsafe foods. Chef Ryan helps them develop a plan for making safe home cooked meals.

The second video is a panel discussion that tackles real situations related to food allergy that come up in our schools. They discuss things like peanut-free tables and self-carrying of epinephrine.

Both videos are about 30 minutes long and packed with great information.

Find both videos at Life Links for Parents.

Mothers of Food Allergic Children Speak Up

Check out this six-part series of four mothers who have food allergic children. Part of a roundtable discussion with ABCNews Health, the moms talk about warning signs, coping, convincing others, school and special events, guilt and hurt and the bright side.

Those of us who deal with food allergies every day will really relate to what these women talk about. There may be a section or two that you may want to forward to a grandparent, baby-sitter or teacher. It sometimes help to have others back up your message.
