  Mary S. asked:

  Our district nutrition specialist asked me if I knew of any great resources where she can get guidelines for proper food handling and cleaning for kiddos who have allergies and/or celiac disease. Any suggestions?

  

  Alissa P. replied:

  I'd try something that deals with deadly food allergies, as that would cover safe food handling practices... like http://www.foodallergy.org/

  Lerin R. asked:

  Dr says The Richard 3 need to go dairy free. I have no idea where to even start. I see a nutritionist on Wednesday, but hoping someone can recommend some books, websites, etc? Please and thank you in advance!

  Ethan is severely allergic to dairy. He can't have even a little drop or he gets very very ill. Good site to go to is www.foodallergy.org, it will tell you what to look for. I read everything on the package list so usually you look for anything that contains whey, cheese, and butter products. I had to learn all this when Ethan was first born and was allergic to my milk, it almost killed him, he was in the nic unit for 7 days after he was born before they figured out what was causing it, he has been on soy milk ever since. Any questions let me know!

  Allergic C. asked:

  Question from an AllergicChild Reader: I need suggestions. I have a 10 month old boy with severe peanut and dairy allergies, possibly soy, has now come up. We see an allergist in July but im not sure what I can feed my baby. He's living off dairy free soy formula (dr says stick until we know for sure) and dairy/peanut/gluten free pablum but he needs more. I don't have food allergies or know anyone that does until now. im not sure what to do to prevent a reaction besides constantly ask, nor how he can eat. please please help me and my baby understand

  The FARE website on milk allergy states: "Individuals who are allergic to cow’s milk are often advised to also avoid milk from other domestic animals. For example, goat's milk protein is similar to cow's milk protein and may, therefore, cause a reaction in individuals who have a milk allergy." http://www.foodallergy.org/allergens/milk-allergy Food Allergy Research & Education www.foodallergy.org FARE works on behalf of the 15 million Americans with food allergies, including all those at risk for life-threatening anaphylaxis.

  The Food Allergy and Anaphylactic Network (FAAN) site is a treasure trove of information -- they have information you can download, copy and pass out. www.foodallergy.org
