Re: Food Allergy Awareness: Does Exposure to Food Allergens Affect Outgrowing?
Thanks for providing this information. By the way, the link you've shared appears to be incorrect. I found the guideline listed above in: Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Food Allergy in the United States: Summary of the NIAID-sponsored Expert Panel Report (p. 9, 3.7).

Re: Food Allergy Awareness: Does Exposure to Food Allergens Affect Outgrowing?
Hi Heddi, thanks for posting the link to the expert panel report. That is the report published in the clinical literature ( Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology ), which is the primary resource on this topic written for the clinician. The link we posted above is the NIH publication that is based on the Expert Panel Report and is written in plain language for patients, families and caregivers. Both are accurate references for the NIH Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Food ...

Re: Magic Hat Cake: Dairy-Free, Egg-Free
The base is 2 - 9x13 cakes (trimmed on the edges). I used dowels between that and the hat. The hat is 4 - 9" round wacky cakes with dowels that support the brim and bunny. the brim is 2 frosted cake boards. The bunny is homemade marshmallow fondant. In between the layers is homemade frosting with crushed birthday cake oreos mixed in. This is only my second time making a 3D cake so it's far from perfect, but I tried to cover up the mistakes the best I could. I misjudged the size of the dowels...

Re: Spreading Food Allergy Awareness One Teal Pumpkin at a Time
What are some other ways people deal with Halloween? I don't think this teal thing should stop by any means, but I am having a hard time seeing it as a widely accepted solution. I have a peanut/treenut allergic kid and I have very mixed emotions... On the one hand, I like the added awareness, but on the other hand... I think this might be expecting too much . In our town, some neighborhoods get hundreds of kids and per item non-food stuff can get expensive. Plus, I really don't want my...

Re: Spreading Food Allergy Awareness One Teal Pumpkin at a Time
Hi RW! Some people keep the cost down by ordering bulk non-food treats online, or by giving kids a choice and asking, especially if the parents are nearby. Have you also seen this year's post on craft ideas ... You could also bake a fun safe-for-you cake . My preteen just likes being with his friends, for the most part. I like the idea of donating extra candy to volunteers in your town. Some dentists have always collected it in exchange for something...

Re: Faces of Food Allergies: Food Allergy Awareness Week May 14-18 2012
I made a daughter showing my daughter before, during, and after a reaction to share with family & friends on FB (to help them 'get it'). Would it be appropriate to upload it here, or is this mainly for pictures focusing on children when they are well PS. It wasn't a veryserious reaction, but provides a good visual of a reaction

Re: Faces of Food Allergies: Food Allergy Awareness Week May 14-18 2012
Is it a series of photos? We could create an album for you (called a clip set) where you could upload it if you'd like to do that. For this FAAW event, I'd suggest you post something to show your daughter is able to enjoy life regardless of her food allergies!
Comment
Re: Faces of Food Allergies: Food Allergy Awareness Week May 14-18 2012
Thanks, I'll do that. Regarding the collage, it's just one photo, with about 6 photos edited onto it, along with captions saying what's happening in each shot, so where/how can I upload that one? Thanks again, Jen

Re: Faces of Food Allergies: Food Allergy Awareness Week May 14-18 2012

Re: Faces of Food Allergies: Food Allergy Awareness Week May 14-18 2012
Oh that's great, thanks! Will upload the pic shortly. As I said, the initial reason I made up the pic was to show family & friends that her allergy is real, and that I'm not just being mean or overprotective when I don't allow her to have certain foods. I don't even think my husband believed me until he witnessed it for himself. Also, when I was new to the allergy game (still relatively new as my daughter is only 2 and a bit), I searched everywhere for images of allergic reactions...

Do you do ribbon roses? Those are very cute. I use those sometimes too.

Re: confirmation cake - Peanut, tree nut, dairy and egg free
I've done ribbon roses, but these have individual petals. You basically roll out each petal based on little balls of graduated sizes. I'll have to see if I can find the write up my friend did - cuz I don't recall exactly and I haven't done any in a while.
