This is the "heart and soul" of POFAK. Topics include subjects of interest to parents of children of all ages. Join us!
This is a forum to discuss anaphylaxis (severe allergic reaction) - how to be prepared, how to prevent it, and to cope with anaphylaxis when it happens. This is also the forum to discuss idiopathic (unknown cause) anaphylaxis, or anaphylaxis due to any cause including, but not limited to, food.
Support and information for families with a child who has, or is suspected of having, asthma and/or eczema (atopic dermatitis) in addition to their food allergies. Join other parents for information and support related to these conditions.
Support for families with a child who has (or is suspected as having) a gastrointestinal disorder such as eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), food protein induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES), celiac disease, Crohn's, colitis, reflux or other. Find support regarding the journey through diagnosis and treatment, living with very restricted diets, tube feedings, food trials and more.
Want to talk about breastfeeding, formula feeding, concerns about introducing foods, or ways to help your child gain weight? Do you have questions or issues with playgroups, preschool,
or daycare? This is the forum for you! Parents of older children are also welcome to join us and share their "been there, done that" experiences.
Want to talk about the special challenges of parenting a child age 5 years and older with food allergies, or the special challenges sending a child off to school or camp? This is the place for you.
This is where you can share press releases, news stories, and research updates. KFA posts news and food recalls on our blogs.
