Peanut-allergy tips
Starting school can be tricky for kids with peanut allergies. Writer and allergy-free mom extraordinaire Kelly Corbett — who wrote a food feature on allergy-free cooking that appeared in our March 2007 issue — puts out a great e-newsletter, and this week’s installment featured helpful tips for peanut-allergy kids at school.
And thanks to those of you who sent me ideas for my son’s new gluten- and dairy-free diet. He is already feeling much better! Still not completely healed, but we’re very hopeful. Now he’s at college, so it’s a little more challenging (he says even the breakfast eggs have dairy in them!) … so he’s learning how to speak up for what he needs.

Our office just became acutely aware of peanut allergies. In response we created a How To Deal with Peanut Allergies video to educate people not just on what to avoid but what it means to live with a peanut allergy: http://www.howcast.com/videos/33739-How-To-Deal-With-Peanut-Allergies
