As a food allergy/sensitivity suffer eating out at restaurants can be really tricky, especially if you have odd food allergies like mine. Recently, the state of Massachusetts passed legislation that requires restaurants to train employees on handling customers with food allergies and what a food allergy can mean for the customer. That's my paraphrasing, but long story short this is great news if it becomes a nationwide initiative! The Food Allergy and Anaphylaxsis website has info about the Massachusetts legislation and what other states are doing, if you want to read up on it.
Other good news is that researchers may have developed a Chinese herbal remedy to stop peanut and other food allergies! You all know I am really in to the Chinese herbs and remedies from my success with acupuncture and I can't wait to see the results of the human trails that were approved to begin by the FDA. This could be some really great news for us food allergy sufferers!
The bad news for the day is that Northwest Airlines is bringing back peanut snacks on their planes. There were too many great links about this and traveling with food allergies that I am going to direct you to Please Don't Pass the Nuts blog I got the info from. If you are a food allergy sufferer, this blog is great to follow! She does a great job about sharing relevant news and experiences to living with food allergies. A great resource!
