Title: I need help for new PA parents
Post by: hedgehog on September 20, 2019, 03:41:24 PM
DD just got in touch with me on behalf of her friends.  They just found out their little one is allergic to peanuts.  Since DS was desensitized years ago, and diagnosed decades ago, I really don't remember any resources to guide them toward, other than here (which I do plan on).  What suggestions/links can you all think of?

I'm also out of the loop, but I'm pretty sure the information from these sources is reliable.

https://www.foodallergy.org/

https://www.allergicliving.com/

https://www.kidswithfoodallergies.org/

The old-old place is still in existence.  For a while it had really gone down hill - not sure if it's better now.  I just looked and some of the current threads were started almost 20 years ago and have recently been reraised.  :disappointed:

Thanks.  I just sent those links, as well as this one, to DD to pass on to her friends.
