Thank you @ICCatholicPrep for being my home away from home these past four years, once a Knight always a Knight m.youtube.com/watch?feature=…

Today marks 3 years since we lost our daughter Natasha to an anaphylactic reaction. As we remember her we have relieved every minute of that awful day. No going back, unable to change or stop the forward march of time. And somehow here we are, 3 years on...

Food Allergy Hero: Niki Stearman. She is the founder of Safe Foodie Sticks, a way to identify food allergens in any meal, baked good or food item. Way to go Niki. Making life for people with #foodallergies a little less complicated.

Heads up about @Breyers ice cream with ALMOND MILK.
Always read the labels & packaging - even for items you buy all the time. Ingredients change & manufacturers like to throw us a curve ball with “new” enticing marketing formulas.
Thank you for sharing Amanda 🙏🏻❤️ #nutallergy

The story of Jaxon
Truth be told, if it weren’t for the good my story might do for someone with #foodallergies, I wouldn’t be writing it, if only because it causes me to reconsider my entire life and all.

Today we pay homage to Alastair Watson. He was just 3 years old when he died last year during a baked milk oral challenge test. His mom Pamela said “I want to share his story to everyone as accurately as possible...”

More than 1 in 10 adults (>26 million) in the US has a food allergy acc. to a study by JAMA Network & @RuchiSGupta. Among these adults who reported at least 1 allergy–related ED visit in past year, only 65% reported a current epinephrine prescription jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

From the mouth of an allergist. Listen up, #schools! Nothing replaces epinephrine in a severe allergic reaction and time is of the essence. #foodallergies
This is alarming & short sighted. This school district changed policy to administer benadryl in place of stock epinephrine.
1.Benadryl does not treat anaphylaxis
2.ANYONE can be trained in a matter of minutes
3.They claim 'safety' but this is dangerous

What if there isn’t a doctor or nurse among the passengers next time this happens? #Anaphylaxis in the air. And a life saved. #Airlines news5cleveland.com/news/loca…

The PSA "Could You Eat?" has been airing in movie theaters to raise awareness about the dangers of food allergies. Produced by BBDO & @EndAllergies, dedicated to the memory of Oakley & everyone who has lost their life to #foodallergies

This isn’t “comedy”. Food allergies are not a joke @bonniemcfarlane. Death from a nut allergy is all too real. Jokes like yours perpetuate stereotypes and encourage food allergy bullying. Educate yourself.
Marriage is all about waiting for that sweet, sweet life insurance payout. #ComedyCellar @bonniemcfarlane

Teaching moment. Want a great visual idea to get across cross-contamination to people?
Get some glitter. Spread it on a table and put it on people’s hands. Then have them touch others, things in the room, books, pens, toys, anything..

Anyone who recommends food sensitivity testing is declaring that they lack an understanding of:
1. Basic immunology
2. How individual foods can impact health
3. The negative impact that restrictive diets have on health & well being cbc.ca/news/health/food-sens…

Long before restaurants accommodated food allergies, Uncle Jon welcomed me at The Hill. When I was young, he walked me through his kitchen & showed me what I could eat. Then he made sure it was made safely.

Carey’s brave little boy had to give himself his epi for the first time. He had a peanut exposure at school and ended up in anaphylaxis. He knew EXACTLY what to do and didn’t think twice.. instagram.com/p/Bot1EobnMsc/ #foodallergy
