We were in the hospital with my son most of the weekend. He had his first (and hopefully last) anaphylactic allergic reaction. We aren't sure from what at this time but I'm terrified to go anywhere now or try anything new. He had a tiny bit of garlic in his squash, besides that we were somewhere where other kids wer...e and I'm thinking maybe someone had touched a toy with peanut butter and he put the toy in his mouth. Anyone have any suggestions for future? Should I avoid church nursery, gym nursery, playgroups, etc. I want him to play with other kids but now I'm terrified!! He could have died. We were in 2 ambulances, 2 hospitals and he was admitted to Children's Hospital. It was just awful. Thanks for any suggestions and help you can provide me.Read More

I bought a box of Duncan Hines yellow cake mix at the store. It lists that it only contains wheat. I also looked all over the box to see if it was processed in a plant with milk,peanuts or tree nuts. I heard that manufactures are not obligated to list if it is processed on the same line as an allergan is this true? ... Does anyone have advice for this and do you think this cake mix would be safe for my son, who has milk, peanut and tree nut allergies?Read More

Hi Everybody! I recall reading a question here from someone who had a child allergic to peanuts but not tree nuts, and were asking about a company offering tree nuts in which they didn't have cross-contamination with peanuts. I have a daughter whose allergic to peanuts and not to tree nuts. I had thought about growing ...my own nut trees but if she developed a tree nut allergy I would be bummed I had planted nut trees in the backyard. Anyway, how about this solution: Purchase your tree nuts, when possible, in the hard outer shell. Wash the outer shell and crack the nuts yourself. Does that sound to labor intensive or a little "nutty"? I am thinking about doing that.Read More
