I've had peo...Oh yes, I've heard this too. I've had people ask me what's causing all these food allergies, I didn't know anyone with food allergies while growing up. This question is interesting because if I had the answer, I'd have the remedy to cure. <br /><br />My daughter is 6 with tree-nut and peanut allergies. Unless people have to deal with this in their lives,then they just don't get it. <br /><br />Although, I've been very fortunate with the parents at my daughter's school, when it comes to class celebrations, they ask me what can the bring for my daughter that's safe, or apologize if they bring something she can't have :). The school district has had a peanut ban for several years, so the awareness is there.<br /><br />I think that people especially relatives, think I'm over protective. At gatherings, I always make sure that either my husband or myself is with her. Because they still offer things which aren't safe and then I say, did you read the label, response "Oh, I forgot" (problem is forgetting is never an option). Also, for people that understand that oh, she can't eat the actual nut, it's tricky. Like if someone has a cake from a bakery with no nut ingredients, there's the cross contamination issue, which I try to explain, but I don't think people really get that. <br /><br />Family gatherings are the hardest, because people think that they can still have the nut based deserts if they keep it away from her, UGH. I hate being the difficult one, but it is that severe. Only my husband and I were with her when she had her first reaction to pistachio and I never want to see that happen ever again.<br /><br />If my daughter didn't have any food allergies, I would not be the food police. But it wasn't until I had to start monitoring all the food selections at gathering, did I realize that wow, people really love their nuts (:<br /><br />Sorry for the long rant.<br />LindaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
