I was relaxed and smiling on July 5th as I wrote this article. I planned a small gathering at my home with two other families affected by food allergies. I met both of these moms years ago at my local support group meetings. We've become close friends as we share the trials and tribulatio...
Thanx for sharing ........ While your menu sounds great, part of it would have been
a no-no for me as I am allergic primarily to corn syrup and it also is in so many
products (no marshmellows or rice krispie bars for me). So I read labels as well...
Also thanx for mentioning how your family doesn't get the gist of the allergy
situation. I have dealt with friends not understanding for years altho I have
openly mentioned it to them and they definitely know I have allergies. So if
one of them has a brunch, I have gone to taking my own beverage or drink only
water. Also, I stick in my bag a few edibles (just in case). They also like to
make recipes from magazines (e.g., Southern Living) and use products and make
desserts that have corn syrup in them for the sweetener. How do you find a
support group for food allergy sufferers?
