Food Anaphylaxis is more than an intolerance

“I’ll never forget a 3-year-old girl I treated in the emergency room, who nearly died of an anaphylactic reaction after sipping a small amount of milk from the girl next to her. Food allergies can be deadly and therefore must be taken seriously. The classroom offers an excellent opportunity to include and accept children with different needs. It may be an inconvenience for parents to send a snack without peanuts when their “snack rotation” comes up, but imagine how much more inconvenient it is to live with this issue 24/7 in a wide variety of situations.”
The kind gestures of just 1 or 2 people in a class of 25 students are major to those of us that parent children of food anaphylaxis.
It makes my blood boil when parents of non food allergic children insist on their right to give their child whatever food they like because it might upset their routine to do otherwise. Upset their routine people.
The fact that our children could come home in a body bag each day because of their food choices doesn’t phase them one bit.
