What an appropriate day to launch this new blog about child food allergies! Today, cited at CNN.com, ABCnews.com and also CBSnews.com, a study has just been released indicating that the percentage of U.S. kids with food allergies has apparently doubled.
To all of us food allergy warrior moms and dads, this is nothing new. Food allergies are on the rise in the U.S. and researchers and doctors don't know why. As food allergy families... and yes I say families, since one kid having an allergy can affect the whole family on some level, we live with this condition every day.
The home-baking, the buying special, expensive foods, the simple outing to a restaurant can start to make the blood pressure rise in any food allergy parent. So this blog is for you... food allergy warriors!! Perhaps the sharing of knowledge, resources and just good ol' food allergy stories will enable us to live a little more peacefully with our children "eating different"!
Share your stories and food allergy knowledge with us! Please feel free to post!
