I’ve ditched most of our chemicals. After Aaron was diagnosed with his food allergies last January, I really didn’t think much of his citrus allergy other than it was going to suck because so many foods marketed to kids are orange flavored. Little did I know I was going to be changing the way I… read more »
This week Ryan comes to you talking about allergies, the school (yes STILL. They’ve never solidified my decision to homeschool more), and therapy. OH! And I just thought of one for OT for next week. “Write that down.” Name that movie. Without further ado, the star of our Fridays, and hosted by Sunday,
I know I’ve written about our struggles with the Midd-West school district before. It was pre-autism diagnosis, but we still had A diagnosis, no 504, no IEP, and MANY MANY issues. Suffice it to say that my now 5th grader is still scarred from the bullying he endured in Kindergarten and 1st grade in that… read more »
If you think the kitchen cleanliness is your biggest worry when eating out, think again. While researching allergen information on local restaurants to maybe expand where we can eat with our 5yo’s food allergies, and to make traveling easier, I found a wealth of ick. It’s no wonder I’ve been having GI issues after eating out. Seemingly… read more »
We had more allergy testing today for the 5yo. We tested for 46 foods. We found new allergies. In addition to peanuts, we can add almonds, oranges, and lobster to our list to avoid. We also need to monitor all tree nuts, citrus, and should just avoid all shellfish. What really leaves us scratching our heads is… read more »
Finally, this school year, 2011-12, the USDA has determined that schools must provide drinkable water to all students with unrestricted access during their lunch periods. This can be in the form of a mass dispense system in the cafeteria, or a drinking fountain in or adjacent to the eating area. I don’t call this a… read more »
After about 18 months into poor Aaron’s GI issues, we FINALLY have a lead. I had allergy testing repeated at his check up on Friday since his symptoms were still there despite medication and household modifications for dust mites (his only positive reaction previously). This time , we added three more environmental allergens and peanuts…. read more »
It’s about 18 months since we started our journey into Aaron’s guts. We still have no idea what’s really going on in there. We know he’s got eosinophils in his esophagus. We don’t know exactly why. Could be from the GERD. Could be from something else. My bet is it’s a bit of both. His… read more »
Our school did something good this year. They made their bazillion forms we get on the first day all electronic. It was easy to fill out, and I could easy print any addendums I needed. Then they pulled a boner. My son is lactose intolerant. The dietary forms state “The School/school district does not make… read more »
Big deal. Infant Tylenol has a new cap, and they’re using blogs to promote it. From the pictures I see it still has red dye. Red dye made from petroleum and coal. The same red dye that makes it damn near impossible for me to treat my oldest son when he’s sick since he reacts… read more »
