February 2012 Living with Food Allergies Carnival!


Welcome to the February 23, 2012 edition of living with food allergies carnival.  I'm so honored to be hosting this month - wait until you see all of the great content submitted this month!


Thanks to everyone who submitted - what an incredible resource for the food allergy community!
  • Eric AiXeLsyD recommended quite a few articles this month (both his own and other sites - thanks Eric!):
  • ERiC AiXeLsyD presents My Food Allergy Responses Graph posted at World (and Lunar) Domination, saying, "This is what happens when you tell people you have a food allergy..."
  • ERiC AiXeLsyD presents The Science of Anaphylaxis: An Allergic Storm posted at The Allergist Mom, saying, "Great article by The Allergist Mom. Knowledge is power & all that. Might be scary for some. It’s very informative!"
  • ERiC AiXeLsyD presents School Access to Emergency Epinephrine Act posted at Please Don't Pass The Nuts™, saying, "Get on this. FAAN has more information on how to contact your local representative about these two bills that could save a child’s life. Act now."
  • ERiC AiXeLsyD presents Blah Blah Food Allergy Blah Blah - Cartoon posted at Food Allergy Fun, saying, "Sad, but true."

  • ERiC AiXeLsyD presents We Have Come Too Far To Forget, Separate Is Not Equalposted at Advocate by Fate, saying, "It’s got a great message. Obviously the first thing it brings to mind is racism, but it can now be applied to any group facing discrimination."
  • ERiC AiXeLsyD presents Top 10 Misconceptions About Food Allergies | It's an Itchy Little World posted at It's an Itchy Little World, saying, ""The truth is that so many kids have food allergies now, that almost every school is bound to have this issue come up. Children with food allergies already have so many limitations on their lives, it would be so great if we could increase awareness and perhaps some schools, restaurants, airlines, hotels, etc… would start putting in policies that would help include us.

So, did you see my email to Sheetz about having Deathfish now? I hate Lent. They wrote back. I still hate Lent. I do still like Sheetz though. Lent sucks."

Peanut Allergy Peeps Online

I have made quite a few good allergy pals online via this blog. Here are just a few (my Google Reader has over 30!) that I think you'll find interesting:

janeen @ our story
alison @ sure foods living
sloane @ please don't pass the nuts

but I'd love to hear who YOUR favorites are. What are your go-to food allergy blogs?

Happy Nie Nie Day to You.

This post has nothing to do with peanut allergy. It has to do with a fellow blogger who needs our help. I don't personally know Stephanie (Nie Nie) or Christian, but their story has moved me and I want you to know about it as well.

Last week Christian and Stephanie Nielson were in a very serious plane crash. They are a young couple with four children under the age of six. They are in critical condition. Stephanie has third degree burns covering 80% of her body and Christian has third degree burns over 30% of his body. The recovery will be very long and very expensive.

If you are able, please consider contributing to this fund that will go directly to the family. http://www.nierecovery.com/

Today, several websites are auctioning off items for their benefit. Go here to see the comprehensive list: http://www.designmom.com/ .

Updates about Stephanie and Christian here: http://blog.cjanerun.com/

If you can't donate or join in the auction, could you say a few words/prayers into the universe for these two (and their 4 children)? Anything can help.

Happy Birthday to Me! I am Peanut Free!

Today is a big day around here at PFM.

We're a year old! Yup, August 13, 2007 was the day I decided to document our crazy little journey down the Peanut Allergy road.

Feels like longer, huh?

I don't usually post recent photos of the Mighty B, but I love this shot of her jumping up excitedly (yes, even tho' it's blurry). She'll be 4 in just a couple of months - that went by fast too! Where did my little baby go?

I just want to say thank you to all the kind and wonderful folks out there who visit this site daily, weekly, and/or monthly for a peek into our lives. Not a week goes by that I don't get a nice email from a reader with their story. I'm honored and touched that you've cared or been moved enough by our story to share yours with me.

I hope you all stick around for another year with me. We're all in this together, right?

Broken Record

Lots of allergy-free bloggers out there have posted about this already, but I'm going to be a broken record just to get the word out again!

Martha Stewart is holding a Big Idea contest on her site to choose the focus of a new publication, and one of the choices is a publication for Allergies and Intolerances. Go vote now so we have another publication (with the backing of a big name like Martha Stewart behind it) out there geared towards our needs as an allergic individual or family members.

Vote today (and often!) Here's the ground rules from her blog:
You can vote as many times as you'd like (once per day) over the next week. On Thursday, February 7, we'll close the poll, and Martha will later announce the big winner!
Again, check out her post and vote today. As of this morning, the allergy publication is in the lead, but don't let that stop you from voting. Let's win by a landslide!

Living 'Free'

Notmartha has a great post today. She's a stop on Gluten Free Girl's virtual book tour. Instead of just reviewing the book, she decided to live gluten free for the day.

It's amazing how similar her challenges are to those of us who need to live nut free (or soy free or egg free, etc. etc.). Take a look. I know it will be very familiar to you ALL.

It would have been an interesting experiment to document our old life compared to how it is now. I remember feeling so overwhelmed at first, but now, it's just life.

How about you? Isn't there anything you still haven't gotten used to avoiding?
