Study Says Children Might Outgrow Egg Allergy

More than one study suggests that there is the potential for some children who are allergic to eggs to outgrow that allergy. Kids who are severely allergic to eggs probably will not outgrow it, but those with less serious egg allergies might. The studies involved carefully introducing eggs into the diet of kids who were allergic to them. Sometimes, children can outgrow some allergies. This is more likely to happen with kids who have slight allergy symptoms to a particular allergen, and not likely to happen with children who have very severe allergies. A couple of studies suggest that it … Continue reading →

Have an Egg Allergy? Eat Cake!

Make Mine Without A Bun, Please

It isn’t always easy to eat gluten-free when you are at a restaurant or buffet. Fast food places are extra challenging, at least for me. Very few places are prepared to accommodate the needs of people who have an allergy to gluten, (or to other foods, for that matter). Fortunately, there are some things you can do to make your lunch or dinner a bit safer. When I first discovered that I had a gluten allergy, it made me very aware of how many gluten filled foods can be found in a typical restaurant setting. It doesn’t seem to matter … Continue reading →

Adjusting to life with a food allergy, whether it is your own or that of a child or other family member, can make you keenly aware of what is missing from your local supermarket shelves and even from specialty or health food stores.

Allergies In Your Family Tree Are Nothing To Sneeze At

Sometimes, people like to joke about having “nuts” in their family tree. Family gatherings can be filled with humor and interesting memories if your aunts or uncles are a little batty or your cousins are somewhat eclectic.

Nut allergies have become increasingly common over the past decade or so, and allergies have been linked to heredity. Allergies to foods and environmental triggers are yet another reason why knowing your family’s health history is so important. Allergies occur when your immune system reacts … Continue reading →

An Inexpensive Christmas Gift

For me, trying to make exactly the same recipe again is like trying to re-crack an egg. It’s just impossible, because I can’t resist looking for ways to improve and alter it. That’s not a bad thing. Coming up to Christmas, handmade gifts are always appreciated. They’re good for the elderly and people in nursing homes. They’re good for the hard to buy person or those you simply don’t know well enough to know their taste but want to give a small gift too, people like a child’s teacher or a person who has helped you or done work for … Continue reading →
