Summer Holidays- travel, restraunts and the allergic community

By
Allerdine is a great resource for families with food allergies while traveling on your summer vacation.

AllerDine.com was created in November of 2009, by parents of severe food allergic children who felt the need to find a way to dine out safely. AllerDine.com is a user based website that is designed to get allergic families out of the kitchen and dining out with the right information. Restaurant listings are searchable by allergen user profile. To be listed each restaurant is approached with the need to answer very specific questions on how they handle food allergies. Only restaurants specifically contacted by the food allergic staff of AllerDine.com, or first-hand user experiences are in the database along with reviews of their experiences. With over 700 restaurants in Chicago, Detroit, Orlando, Toronto, Denver, New York, Houston, Boston, Atlanta and many more cities to be added soon, AllerDine.com is starting to make a difference.



Each restaurant is asked very specific food allergy relevant information. Then the staff at AllerDine.com compiles all this information to provide users with the ability to make informed decisions on where they can dine (or at least give each family a qualified list they can investigate further). AllerDine.com is FREE for the food allergic community.

Bluebearaware.com Store is closing

By Anonymous
Store Closing We've heard that before... On December 31, 2018, the storefront for  bluebearaware.com  will be shut down. As the owner of this amazing online retailer, I can assure you that this is a genuine closing. Further, I do not have any intention of selling the business. On the contrary, I plan to keep Blue Bear alive. YES! We'll still be here. Just not selling products for the foreseeable future. What can you expect to see in the future? I love bringing smiles to people's faces. I love knowing that I have made someone feel important. To let them know that I see them and they matter. I have a big a-s, bleeding heart. I know it. I own it. I want to save the world, one person at a time. I've been a crisis counselor. I've worked with the women's shelter. In our food allergic community, I started as a support group leader. To say that those experiences were rewarding is absolutely an understatement, but my life has changed since then. I have so ...

The Food Allergy Mom's New 'All Nighter'

By Jen
It is now just before midnight on a Saturday night and I am wide awake. I'd like to say that I'm channeling my more lighthearted side before children and partying the night away. But I'm not. No. Instead I am about to embark on another all nighter to monitor my son, Aiden. Tonight he went for a walk with his Nana (grandma) and his sister and no sooner reached the entrance to the park when he mysteriously tossed his cookies. The way you hear Nana describe it, he emptied his insides out to the point where she almost caught the cookie tossing bug. He's six years old so you may be thinking 'So What. Kids barf all the time.' Yep. However, in Aiden's case, throwing up is often the first thing he does when having a reaction to food. Experts tell us that reactions can vary every time and I do believe them. Yet, with Aiden we have seen vomiting almost every single time. He is also one of those few have had biphasic reactions even as late as a day and half later. ( ...

NIAGARA FAMILIES AND MP DEAN ALLISON RAISE AWARENESS FOR ANAPHYLAXIS

By
Call for a comprehensive approach to assist those with severe allergies June 7, 2010 – Niagara West - Glanbrook Member of Parliament Dean Allison gave notice for a motion in the House of Commons today: That in the opinion of the House, anaphylaxis is a serious concern for an increasing number of Canadians and the government should take the appropriate measures necessary to ensure these Canadians are able to maintain a high quality of life. Anaphylaxis is a medical condition describing people with severe, life threatening allergies. Reactions are rapid in onset and may cause death without immediate treatment. Food is the most common cause of anaphylaxis, but insect stings, medicine, latex or exercise can cause reactions. In Canada, the most common food allergens are milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, shellfish, fish, sesame and wheat. Anaphylaxis has no cure, though important research and efforts to find a cure are underway. Avoidance is the required preventative measure. ...
