We don't usually eat dinner out or bring dinner in, especially not for the Little Man. But today was tiring and stressful (lets just say it involved a second mammogram, possible breast cancer, but today we got the all clear) so my husband decided to take pity on me and pick up Burger King because the Little Man can eat their fries. They are free of his allergens and they use dedicated fryers.
Like always, my husband went in, told them about the food allergies and asked them if the fries were kept separate from everything else. They (the employee and the manager) assured him it was safe. So I'm pouring them on a plate for the Little Man and this is what I see:


(sorry the picture is so bad, but like I said, I'm tired)

Yep, it's an onion ring. A big ol' wheat filled onion ring. Thank heavens I poured them out and just didn't give him the box.
Someone at that Burger King could use some food allergy training. The Little Man was sad.

The Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network has come up with 5 things that need to be implemented/improved to ensure our food allergic children/family members safety.

Number 1 is so critical. Every school in EVERY CITY and every school within EACH SCHOOL SYSTEM handles things differently and there are currently no set standards for keeping our children safe when they are out of our home environment. Sending my son to school is one of the scariest things I've had to think about. Last week I wrote about the doughnut incident at my sons preschool. This week I've been informed that they will be making "ants on hill" in class tomorrow. This involves 3 year olds using pudding, crushed graham crackers, and raisins. I'm not overly comfortable with this even though I'll send in safe ingredients for my son. Tomorrow is the last day of school for him. We've gone all year without a food craft. Why tomorrow? I may not be able to stop the food crafts, but it would really make me feel a lot better if I knew that the teachers had a complete understanding of how to keep my son safe. Specific guidelines and universal plan would be a nice first step.

The “Five Steps Forward for Food Allergy” initiative calls for:
1. School Guidelines: The development of guidelines for assuring the safety of food-allergic children in school is necessary to keep the 2.2-million school-age children with food allergies safe. The Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Management Act (S. 1232/H.R. 2063) calls for these guidelines to be developed, and the House of Representatives has already passed this legislation. Therefore, the Senate should move swiftly to pass the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Management Act.
2. Food Allergy Information: There is a critical need for enhanced public information on food allergy, such as an information clearinghouse to provide guidance to the public and health care professionals. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention should create a National Information Center on Food Allergies.
3. Guidelines for Diagnosis and Management of Food Allergies: Currently, there is no consistent agreement on how to identify and treat food allergy reactions. Too often, patients go from physician to physician seeking a diagnosis and receive incomplete information and guidance on allergen avoidance, the severity of the disease, and the need to carry epinephrine at all times.
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases should move forward with the development of food allergy diagnosis and management guidelines and work with private-sector organizations to assure broad distribution to health care professionals.
4. Research: Expanded research on food allergy and anaphylaxis is necessary to understand why the prevalence of food allergy is increasing, as well as how to prevent and treat food allergies. Congress should increase funding for food allergy research by $50 million over the The Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network ~ (800) 929-4040 ~ www.foodallergy.org next five years. Annual increases of $10 million each year for five years should be invested in basic and clinical research on food allergy and anaphylaxis, as recommended by the NIH Expert Panel on Food Allergy Research.
5. Improved Allergen Labeling: Since strict avoidance of food allergens is the only way to prevent a reaction, food-allergic consumers are heavily reliant on the information presented to them on food labels. The Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act of 2004 improved some facets of allergen labeling, but the new law did not regulate the use of precautionary allergen statements, ranging from “May Contain” to “Processed in a Facility” to “Made on Shared Equipment.” The U.S. Food and Drug Administration should move to regulate the wording, use, and definition of precautionary allergen statements to further improve allergen labeling.

I'm reposting my original post from last year:


In Honor of Food Allergy Awareness Week, this is our story of how we found out about the Little Mans Allergies:

When my youngest son was born he was the most beautiful baby, and no I'm not biased. He had a full head of hair that was highlighted just perfectly. All the nurses had a crush on him. In the hospital, he didn't seem to bre*st feed well (but neither did my older son), so the Pediatrician had me supplement with formula right away. This time we wouldn't wait for the weight loss to occur. By the time we got home, he started having eczema (but so did my older son. He wore a scabby, bloody mustache for almost 2 years). After a few weeks, he seemed to cry a lot, but it was different than the colic that my older son had. This child seemed to cry all the time and especially when he was eating. He would literally throw fits when I was trying to bre*st feed. The Pediatrician sent us off to a Pediatric GI specialist (and also because the baby had severe constipation) who diagnosed the baby with reflux and switched him to Alimentum for supplementing and told me to continue to bre*st feed. At our 2 week follow up with the GI doc the eczema was horrible, I had mastitis from lack of bre*st feeding and the baby was crabbier than ever and weaning himself more to the bottle. He almost refused the bre*st feeding at all. The GI doc switched us to Neocate and dressed me down because I was contemplating giving up on bre*st feeding all together. I'd like to find this doctor today and give her a piece of my mind, but she's so arrogant, I doubt it would matter at all. At no time during this ordeal did anyone mention food allergies or eliminating anything from my diet to try and help with the eczema, reflux, and looking back, clearly these food allergic symptoms that the baby was having. So we switched to Neocate and the baby weaned himself completely and things got a bit better. He had numerous sinus and ear infections his first year of life and ended up on the nebulizer with albuterol by six months of age. When we started solids we started slowly. He ate mostly just rice cereal and fruits. He liked the veggies and that was good, so we stuck with that for a while. I never did Cheerios with him. I couldn't remember when you were supposed to start that and it just never seemed right. We moved on to meats and he really liked those. During all of the food trials we did, he continued to have ear infections and had the most difficult temperament. He would wake up from a nap and just scream at the top of his lungs for 1-2 hours and nothing I did would console him. He also never slept through the night and would wake 2-3 times. He was always in so much pain from the constant ear infections that I think the screaming just became part of his personality. He certainly wasn't an easy baby. We continued on the Neocate (at $500.00 a month for formula) and any time the Pediatrician would tell me it was ok to try a new food I would. We seemed to be moving very slowly. Still, no one ever mentioned food allergies to me and not having a family history of it, it was in the back of my mind, but that is where it stayed. He would have eczema flair ups, but they were never as bad as the older boy. Never bloody so I took that as a good sign. Then, at one of our Ped appointments she circled the Mixed Grain Cereal on the food list. I should have questioned this. I never gave Mixed Grain Cereal to the older son, and I thought it was odd. I think she made a mistake. But, I bought it. And Friday May 5 2005, four days before he was 10 months old, I made him a bowl of Mixed Grain Cereal for lunch. I didn’t know what “mixed grain” was so I read the ingredients and the first 3 were wheat, rice and oat (he had rice and oat before). He loved it. I think he could have eaten the whole bowl if I would have let him. I also gave him a jar of Gerber Chicken and Vegetable Dinner for the first time. He hadn’t had that before either, but he had eaten all of the ingredients listed in the jar except for onion so in my blissful non allergy mom thinking, I figured it was ok.
The older son and I were playing with the baby on the floor about 20 minutes after his lunch and he became overly fussy. He was crying non stop again and nothing we did would console him. I remember the older boy asking me “What is wrong with him now Mom”? At this point I was totally frustrated. He had just gotten over an ear infection and here we were having a nice time and now he was throwing one of his fits again for no reason. To be honest, I was a little mad at him. I thought maybe he was a little tired so I put him down for a nap. As soon as I closed the door, I could hear the crying escalating. And it wasn’t his normal cry. I opened the door to see what the problem was and his nose was running like someone turned on a faucet. I couldn’t wipe it away it because it was coming out so quickly. He was also puffy and very red. I took him to my room and put in a Baby Einstein video which was the only thing that would calm him down when he was in a mood, and he was getting worse and starting to choke on the phlegm. I knew in my heart that this was bad and that he was having an allergic reaction to something. I scooped him up and ran downstairs to call the Ped. I should have called 911, but I was afraid that I was over reacting and that I would just be bothering them for nothing (how dumb was I?). While on the phone with the nurse, he started to projectile vomit. They had me rush him in. I called my parents and told them to meet me at the doctor “because the baby might be sick”, but of course by the tone of my voice, my mother knew it was more. By the time we got there he was one big swollen hive. When I took him in the following Monday for a recheck the nurse admitted to me that she had never seen a baby look that bad and she prayed for him all weekend. The doctor sent us to the ER, where they gave him a shot of EPI and some Orapred. We also stayed over night incase he had a biphasic reaction. We were given a RX for the EPI pen and showed a video on how to use it, the names of some allergists and sent on our way. I was never as scared as I was the day we brought him home. What would I feed him? What did he react to? Almost every system was affected so it took a good month or two for it to calm down. We ended up in the ER one more time after that because we thought his intestines were blocked by the phlegm. At the allergist they ran skin tests and RAST tests and determined that he was allergic to wheat (in the mixed grain cereal), rye, barley, egg, and peanut. We retested for milk again a month later and that came back positive at that time. So that is how our food allergy odyssey began.

This is the start of food allergy awareness week and we'll be starting with a product review here at Our Story.

The nice people at ZenSoy sent us some of their soy pudding to sample. They sent us packs of chocolate, banana, chocolate /vanilla swirl, and vanilla.



I've tried to make safe pudding for my son in the past and it just never turned out quite right. Most of the time it ended up being pudding "soup". So needless to say, my son has never had pudding.
The Little Man was SO excited when the package came and he couldn't wait to try the pudding.



The first flavor he tried was banana:



He loved it and was so happy to have his own, safe pudding.
We've tried all the flavors so far and his favorite is Vanilla (mine too!)

ZenSoy - is the first refrigerated organic soy pudding in the
country
* Packaged in single-serve snack cups
* Chocolate, Chocolate/Vanilla Swirl, Banana and Vanilla flavors

According to ZenSoy, they are a family-owned company that makes a wide assortment of
nationally-available, certified organic soy milks and soy puddings. Made
from whole organic soybeans, all ZenSoy foods are 100 percent vegan and
certified kosher. In addition, all ZenSoy foods are gluten-free, dairy-free
(no eggs, milk or casein), and nut-free.

So after taste-testing the pudding (and loving it) I started to think of some other uses for it.

How about some "Worms in dirt"?



1 cup of chocolate ZenSoy pudding
3 Tbs. of soy whipped topping
3-4 crushed frozen KinniToos chocolate sandwich cookies
Safe gummy worms

Mix the pudding, soy whipped topping, and 1/2 the crushed cookies together and place in a cup. Add the remaining crushed cookies on top and finish with gummy worms.

The Little Man has never had anything like this before so he was a little hesitant to try it, but I can tell you from experience that it was totally yummy!



And we also made frozen ZenSoy pudding pops:

These were awesome!!!



He's already requested more! I think this will be a wonderful summer treat for us. It's totally delicious and safe for everyone.

I can't wait to see what other fun things I can come up with for the pudding.

So we are giving ZenSoy pudding 2 BIG thumbs up!! It's delicious, safe, and a wonderful addition to our allergy friendly foods list. We also give 2 thumbs up to their soy milk. We love that they have the "Soy on the go" size of soy milk. It makes it so much easier for us to take it on road trips.
Thank you so much ZenSoy for sending us the pudding and for making my little guy smile.

Enjoy Life® Foods Urges Using Extra Vigilance When Reading Food Labels
Food Allergy Awareness Week, May 11-17, 2008

SCHILLER PARK, IL, May 8, 2008 – A single, innocent parent oversight resulting in a child’s anaphylactic reaction to one of its allergy-friendly foods recently prompted one company to voluntarily strengthen the food allergy labeling on all of its products.

“As the U.S. leader in allergy-friendly AND gluten-free foods, we take very seriously our responsibility to our customers,” says Scott Mandell, President, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Enjoy Life Foods. “So we want to do everything in our power to ensure that what happened with that child doesn’t happen again,” he adds.

Although Enjoy Life Foods’ labels and ingredient statements are fully compliant with FDA allergy labeling regulations (The Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA)), the parent apparently misinterpreted the “allergy-free” symbol on the front of its package and failed to read carefully the ingredient statement and package information to determine whether or not his child could eat the product safely.

So, the company redesigned the proprietary symbol on the front of its packages to be even more explicit and to minimize the risk of any potential confusion on the part of its consumers. The old symbol said “allergy-free” and “free of all common allergens.” The new, strengthened symbol says “allergy-friendly” and “free of the eight common allergens.” In both cases, the packaging directs consumers to read the side or back panel where it is clearly indicated what the product does and does not contain and that it is made in a dedicated nut- and gluten-free facility.

Enjoy Life Foods has partnered with AllergyMoms.com and the Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network (FAAN) – as part of Food Allergy Awareness Week (May 11-17) -- to urge people with food allergies and other special dietary needs to use extra caution when making food purchases. Food Allergy Awareness Week was created in 1997 by FAAN to raise awareness of food allergies and their consequences.

“Reading ingredient labels and avoiding certain foods is the cornerstone of managing food allergies,” says Anne Muñoz-Furlong, Founder and CEO of FAAN. “We applaud companies like Enjoy Life Foods who take a proactive approach in making ingredients easy to read for the 12 million Americans who have food allergies.”

“Most experienced parents of kids with food allergies know the importance of reading ingredient statements carefully,” says Gina Clowes, founder of the popular AllergyMoms.com blog. “But as more and more kids are diagnosed with food allergies, less experienced parents may think a term like ‘allergy-free’ is enough,” she adds.



So Clowes suggests the following tips for consumers buying allergy-friendly products:

· Have an unbreakable rule: no label = no thank you. Never eat a food that does not have a label.
· Always carefully read ingredient statements. Different versions of the same food can have different ingredients (for example, chewy Spree candy contains egg white while original Spree does not).
· Know that different sizes of the same foods can contain different ingredients. (For example, some “mini” versions of Laffy Taffy do not contain egg, but the large size does contain egg.)
· Don’t rely on common sense to determine if foods are safe. Tuna and flavored water can contain dairy, egg rolls and chili can contain peanut butter, licorice and soy sauce can contain wheat, and the list goes on.
· Take all precautionary warnings seriously. Manufacturers use different statements to warn consumers like “may contain” or “processed in a facility with.” However, the language used does not indicate the level of risk.
· Know that precautionary warnings are voluntary. If a product does not have a warning, it does not mean that the product is free of cross contamination. When in doubt, call the company to find out where and how the product was processed.
· Don’t play ingredient roulette. Even if you or your child once ate a product with a warning, that does not mean the next batch will be safe.
· Beware of hidden allergens. Potent allergens like sesame and mustard can hide behind the words “natural flavors” or “spices.”
· Know where the food is made. Seek out products that say they are made in a "dedicated peanut-free, nut-free, soy-free or allergy-free facility," depending on your diet restriction. This provides even further assurance of the food's safety.

Enjoy Life Foods currently has 21 delicious products including allergy-friendly AND gluten-free soft-baked cookies, snack bars, granola, trail mixes, bagels and semi-sweet chocolate chips. All Enjoy Life products are free of the eight most common allergens[1][1] and made in a dedicated nut- and gluten-free bakery. They are also certified gluten-free (by the Gluten-Free Certification Organization), and are all-natural, trans fat-free and Kosher. More than 80 percent of Enjoy Life’s products are vegan with the exception of three products[2][2] that are vegetarian because they contain honey.

The above is a press release that I received from Enjoy Life Foods. Yes, they are free of the most common allergens (top 8) but it is not free of ingredients. So you MUST always read the label. This is such an important point to hammer home. Things like dairy free cheese isn't actually dairy free. If you read the label on most "dairy free" cheese you will find either casein or whey which are both from milk. Even if you check a label and it was safe a week ago, read the label again every time you purchase the same product. Manufacturing conditions or ingredients can change and you won't know it unless you read it. ALWAYS CHECK!! It's THAT important. If you're ever in doubt, call the manufacturer. Most manufacturers I've spoken with have been more than helpful. Just yesterday I called Jenny-O Turkey because I bought some turkey burgers that have "turkey, natural flavors" listed on the label. The woman was so nice and she informed me that all that the "natural flavors" were was rosemary. I doesn't hurt to call and it only takes a minute. Never take a chance. Know exactly what you or your child are eating.

Today was older boys first T-ball practice which opens the 2008 season. Hubby is coaching (I will not comment on that - lol) this year. Our community sports program is completely unorganized and messed up. So we've been trying to figure out what's going on for the season the past several weeks and still don't have everything nailed down yet. The first game is next Saturday. We still don't have a practice schedule and the shirts just came in and were able to be picked up today. I went and picked them up for Hubby since it was at the same time as practice started. It was me and all of the baseball coaches. Those baseball coaches are real serious about the game. They were strategizing and trying to one up each other while we waited in line. They were actually real goons. I'm not looking forward to the boys moving up to play baseball. You'd think that actual talent scouts were coming to look at the players. And trust me, they're not.

But anyway, I picked up our stuff and took it out to practice where I was to drop it off and return home to work out. When I got there I was informed that I needed to stay the whole time to hand out shirts after the practice to each player. Ok, I'll miss my workout but I'm a team player.

I had the Little Man with me and because I didn't plan on staying I didn't have anything with me to entertain him. I had no toys, no chairs, no snacks, etc. I had NOTHING for him to do. But he amused himself. I was talking to another parent when I heard "Boys, don't do that", and I turned around to see him and his cohort in crime wearing batting helmets and hitting each other in the head with bats. Well, at least they were smart enough to put the helmets on.

And apparently I wasn't needed to hand out shirts after all. So I missed my workout for nothing. Sigh....

Things got so busy yesterday that I didn't have time to post.

This week I lost: .5 pounds. Ok, so I'm not thrilled with it, but it's better than when the scale told me I gained 2 pounds on Tuesday. Geeze, what's a girl got to do to lose a little weight?
This wasn't the best exercise week for me. I have a cold and doing cardio made my lungs burn. So I'm glad I found
Namaste Yoga which shows on FitTv. It allowed me to work out without having to be in severe pain while doing it. I really enjoyed doing the Yoga and it renewed my love of it. I forgot that Yoga can be a workout. I hope to continue adding it to my workout routine.

Scene: 3 men going out the door mother's day shopping:

Hubby: "What should we get Mom for Mother's Day"?
Little Man: "A Harley Davidson".
Older Boy: "No, I know but I'll tell you in the car".
Little Man: "How about a Barbie Cycle"?
Older Boy: "How about a knuckle sandwich"?
Little Man: "YEA, that's what I'm talkin' about"!

Lots of laughter door closes, mother shudders.


All I asked for was time with my family where no one is fighting or yelling. Or I have an evil head cold, so a quiet day in bed watching reruns of America's Next Top Model while dad watches the kids sounds pretty good. YEA, that's what I'M talkin' about.

Yep, today was the day! Our yearly allergist visit. And it went well. It usually does. We had no major reactions this year , only minor "mystery" reactions from things like shopping carts or the bench at Famous Footwear (go figure on that one). His asthma seems relatively under control and we can even stop giving him some of his meds once summer comes. I asked about getting a letter so that we can carry the Little Man's epi's and Benadryl on the plane to Disney. He said he'll put something together and get it in the mail to me (so I can check that off my list). The only other thing I brought up to him was "alternative treatment" for food allergies. Twice now someone has mentioned to me that they "know someone who has a child that was anaphylactic to ________ and went through alternative treatment and was completely cured". My mind says that this is all hooey and it's a scheme to take money from desperate parents. But my "mothers heart" wants my child to be cured so badly that I'm willing to spend the money. I'm not willing to challenge the food allergies if I do though. He's so severe it's not as if they say "He's cured of wheat" I'm going to go out and buy him a box of doughnuts. The doctor said "I'm not against it. It won't work, but I'm not against it. You thought I'd tell you it's all garbage didn't you? I wouldn't say that. But he will outgrow his food allergies when his body is ready to outgrow his food allergies. And anyone who says it works probably already outgrew their food allergies before or during the alternative treatment. But if you try it, just don't challenge it. Not without seeing me first". I was surprised that he didn't laugh in my face. He's the kind of doctor that would do that. I like him because he's no nonsense and says things matter of fact and without "prettying them up". But he can come off as harsh at times. But I like that. My sons life is at risk and if I'm doing something wrong let me know it. Don't coddle me, rough me up a bit if that's what it takes. But it usually doesn't.

So after the appointment we went and got the his yearly
RAST test. He was such a trooper. They couldn't find a vein in the first arm (Bugs Bunny) so they had to move to the second arm which actually gave them a better vein (Daffy Duck).



He didn't cry. He's getting to be such a big boy. So in about a week we should have our results. Keep your fingers crossed and say a prayers that numbers go down.

Although the RAST test went well, traffic was a total BEAR!!! It took me forever to get back to the freeway. We had to pass a Papa John's to get to the lab and then back to the freeway. There were 100's of people trying to get their 23 cent pizzas. I was SHOCKED! The police were directing traffic but not on the road, but in and out of the actual Papa John's building. It was complete mayhem. We don't have a Papa Johns by us or I would have picked some up.

A few weeks ago I was outside doing yardwork when the little neighbor girl came over to play with the boys. This was fine. Even when I couldn't actually see them, I could hear them. Then all of a sudden I saw the them running across the neighbors lawn to go play at her house. Again, I couldn't see them, but I could hear them.
The neighbors are awesome! They are really nice people and I trust them to watch my kids. But after about 30 seconds I thought, the Little Man doesn't have his EPI pen. We live on 3-3.5 acre lots so our yards are pretty big. I could run pretty quickly if I had to. But what if they went inside? Hmmmm..... Our neighbors know about the Little Man's allergies and would never give him anything to eat without asking. They check with me every time before they give him a juice box. And I've shown the mom how to use the EPI. But I still considered taking the EPI over to them. At this point, all three kids came running back.
Later that evening I had a talk with the Little Man and explained to him that whenever he went next door or over to any neighbors house he needed to make sure to take his EPI with him. He was never to leave home without it. He nodded his head at me, but I wasn't really sure that his 3 year old mind grasped what I was telling him. Well it must have sunk in.
Yesterday the same neighbors came over to see if he could play and I said yes. And before he left he said "Oh mom, don't forget to give me my EPI". He took it with him and gave it to the mom and he remembered to bring it home with him. I'm so proud of him that he's learning to be responsible for his safety.
