Peanut Allergy Treatment Research Study

Peanut Allergy Products

Quick Food Allergy Facts

  • It is reported that 8% of U.S. children have a food allergy, some of them severe enough to be considered life threatening. Approximately 125 people die in the U.S. every year from food allergies. Peanut allergy is the most common cause of death from food allergies. There are even kids with multiple food allergies. One of the kids I met through the peanut allergy study I am in, is severely allergic to more than 5 different foods!

    Approximately 90% of all food allergy reactions can be attributed to the following foods: eggs, fish, milk, peanuts, shellfish, soy, tree nuts and wheat. Since 2006, food makers have been required to clearly state on food labels (after or adjacent to the list of ingredients) whether their products contain these eight most common food allergens. But you can not rely on food labels alone. Did you know that "arachis" is an alternative term for peanut or that many restaurants add peanut butter to their sauces or chili as a thickening agent?

Oh, good for your son. How sad he can't eat peanut. At least there are food stalls who understands the situation.

I enjoyed your website very much. I am so happy for you and your family with the success of the trials bo went through. My son Jake is 12 and has a peanut allergy. It is becoming really hard for him to deal lately. we are going to disney actually next week. we have gone 3 times in the past 4 years. I know they are great , after reading your post i was wondering if you ate at these restaurants before the clinical trials. I tend to be really cautious we do eat at some but any tips or advice would be great if you get this e-mail in time. i was particuarlly interested in rainforest cafe i know they have one in animal kingdom is that one safe?

thanks
bonnie parmley
