Allerbling – Food Allergy Awareness Bracelet

by admin August 26, 2011

I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Qunli Wu, the Founder of Allerbling food allergy awareness bracelets. As an infant, her son was diagnosed with allergies to peanut and tree nuts.

The symptoms, an upset stomach that became worse as the week progressed and intense joint pain  continue reading…

Recently, a fan of the Onespot Allergy Facebook page wrote in that starting six months ago, her son who is allergic to peanuts/tree nuts/ dairy/soy/peas has been having random itching mouth reactions to Rice Dream® .  She brought the milk to the allergist to do a skin test and her son reacted, even more so to the juice box style carton.  continue reading…


Sunbutter – Peanut Free, Gluten Free, and Delicious

by admin August 8, 2011

I love SunButter. It’s by far the best spread I’ve used. Of course my son is allergic to peanut and I can’t use peanut butter, but even if that weren’t the case, I would still prefer to use SunButter. I prefer the taste, and it also has some qualities I really appreciate:

It’s made in the U.S.A. in a peanut and  continue reading…

I subscribe to Allergy Notes, an excellent allergy and asthma blog written and updated daily by Dr. Ves Dimov, an Allergist/Immunologist and Assistant Professor at the University of Chicago. I received this article from Allergy Notes today, which is reprinted with permission:
