I am a teacher and have NEVER thought about this until now. My 20 month old has severe egg allergies so researching allergy information has become my new habit. I have printed this list and will share it with his teachers and keep one for my own classroom.
My son has been skin pricked tested 4 times and the last time 3 month ago his tree nut came back negative. All other three skin prick test came back 6+ peanuts & 3+ tree nuts I was suprised when tree nuts came back negative. We still keep him away from all tree nut just to be on the safe side but what are the chances of him outgrowing just the tree nut since he was 3+ before? He is will be 13 in May and is doing great being his own advocate of his allergy and we are very proud of him. We...
UPDATE 8/5: The FDA announced today that 37,500 cans of Nestlé SMA Nutrition Althéra, a hypoallergenic formula for food allergies, will be available this month. This formula is an extensively hydrolyzed protein formula. It may be a substitute for Alimentum/Nutramigen for children with a cow’s milk allergy. It is not a substitute for Neocate or EleCare, or for other allergies or conditions like EoE. Check for suitable substitutions to discuss with your doctor. ...
So after reading the info from Sanofi regarding this recall, I am wondering if we are to assume the Auvi-Q's with Expiration dates prior to March 2016 are considered perfectly fine. I also am concerned about replacing all of the sets of Auvi-Q's we need right now, some kept at school, my ex-husbands house, other care providers, and extra on-hand when we are traveling in areas remote from emergency medical care, as well as for those times our primary pack of meds gets misplaced, frozen, or...
Lynda, It says all Auvi-Q's currently on the market and gives the numbers and dates, ones issued with March 2016+ expiration dates . Some of our Auvi-Q's, which are NOT currently on the market, expire in October 2015 and February 2016. These auvi-Q's are not referred to by Sanofi, the FDA, etc, thus the ambiguity. I will am in process of getting some EpiPens to replace all of our Auvi-Q's, but I cannot imagine being eligible to replace them all immediately, and certainly do not expect...
I called waited 45 mins. Gave my name for the Return/ Reimbursement packet and asked about Oct 15 to Feb 16 Expiration dates and was told they were fine. So not sure if I trust it after y'all were told it is ALL DEVICES. I got one set of replacements. Called my insurance company and they over ruled to allow me to get another set tomorrow (pharmacy only had one set on the shelf). They allowed because need at least two sets at school since one set is locked in office and one set is in my child...
This has been vey confusing, as to whether ALL Auvi-Q's are under the recall up to this point. Many on the Sanofi Lines were told it was only limited to Auvi-Q's with Expiration dates of March 2016 and later, with the lot numbers described for those Auvi-Q's. I myself received a return phone call from the FDA confirming exactly the same information, and that those Auvi-Q's with exp. dates of February 2016 and before should be fine. NOW SANOFI HAS REMOVED ALL DOUBT: ALL AUVI-Q AUTO-INJECTORS...
Love all of these tips; we follow a lot of them! I've found it very helpful to reach out to our son's teachers at the end of each month to ask if there are any special events involving food coming up in the following month (e.g. holiday treats, birthday parties, pizza parties, ice cream parties, etc.). If yes, we find out what is being served so we can bring in something similar for our food allergy kiddo so he is safe and included. It has worked really well so far and the teachers are happy...
@Steve1976 , if you take a look at the news article KFA linked from "improving their burgers" you'll see that the new buns just started rolling out across the west coast a little over a month ago. So stay on guard if your son decides to try burgers again. He may have not had the new recipe yet.
Hi - where can we download some of these recommended forms? My son (with several food allergies) is starting daycare this month and I would love to have a form to fill out instead of creating my own health care plan for him.
