Students

I tried to Skype and Google talk today to students. They have Soybutter and Sunbutter to try today in class. I hope that this site can help them learn more about food allergies.

Learn the warning signs, most life threatening reactions occur away from the home.

Please pass the word along!

Food Allergy Awareness Week May 8-14, 2011

First of all let me say, thanks for checking out this blog.

Second, let me say, what is posted here is not to take the place of speaking with your physician, or allergist.

Third, please use this week to educate others about food allergies, because until there is a cure, advocacy is the biggest tool that we have, adn through this education to the general public.

Educate others on "How to be a FAAN Hero"

News Paper

First of all thank you for checking out this blog. Second, thank you for reading the article in the McDowell News. The purpose of beginning this support group is to advocate, educate, and support others whom are learning about food allergies. I am not a medical professional and what I share on this site is purely first hand experience in my life with my daughter.

Please either post or email me with questions.

Also, check out www.foodallergies.org

I would love to also plan a non food event for this fall. Please leave feedback:)

Thanks

Have a great!

FOOD ALLERGY CONFRENCE

First of all was AWESOME!!!!
I loved the leadership summit and the confrence was great!
It really made me think about some parts of food allergies that I had not thought about.

I will be posting some other things that I learned on the website.

Give me your feedback please:)

As it is drawing closer for me to go to Las Vegas, Nevada, I am getting very excited. Please if you have any questions send them to me. You may email me at mcdowellallergyawareness@gmail.com. The purpose of this group again is to share information with our community of what we are truly asking for when we go to a restaurant or other facility in the county. Also, as a point to share our experiences as allergy suffers or parents of allergy suffers. Please let me know what I can do to assist you. I also have some materials that you are welcome to meet me and look at.

I look forward to hearing from you!
