The study released by Children's Memorial Hospital probably doesn't shock many food allergy parents. Although I'm sure it disheartens most of us. The lack of knowledge by the general public on the severity of food allergies is all too real for us. Just pick out a news article about food allergies and read the comments.

Does anyone here in the UK know how I can go about getting tested for food allergies? Should I be able to get this on the NHS? If so, what's the best way to get it? Otherwise where should I go. Any advice would be very welcome.

I've been up for two days it seems like. 6am right now. So I don't look as happy as her. There was a full moon last night... I'm still looking at it. Beautiful.

I have some food allergies and food intolerances and sometimes the reaction is extreme nausea and diarrhea. That is what is going on right now. On...

Children who drink alcoholic milk called Kefir are much less likely to get food allergies, says the Society of Chemical Industry. The fermented cow-juice inhibits the allergen specific antibody Immunoglobulin E (IgE). Reading this oddly reminded me of the conversation I had with The Mighty P.P. about decency. I was recalling how in the first dot com boom, in 1998, a venture-capitalised US start up,...

Two times yesterday the Little Man's Medic Alert bracelet brought up the topic of food allergies. Once was at his gym. Another mother noticed it and asked me if he was allergic to peanuts. I said yes, along wheat, rye, barley, oat, egg, milk, and tree nuts (to which everyone goes "OOOO that's too bad" but really we are used to it. It's a way of life for him). It turns out her daughter is anaphylactic...
