Food Allergy Research - Part II
Jamie Stern - Friday, May 14, 2010
As a follow up to my blog post Wednesday on the recent New York Times piece, I wrote a news article for The Examiner to include yesterday's FAAN & FAI response. You can read more of my article : Food Allergy Research Raises
More Questions than it Answers.
Don't forget, Food Allergy Awareness week ends tomorrow, but Celiac Disease Awareness is a focus through the end of this month. Do your part to make everyone AWARE!
Have a safe weekend.
More Research to Clarify Real Scope of Food Allergies
Jamie Stern - Wednesday, May 12, 2010
Hope everyone is doing their part this week to promote Food Allergy Awareness Week and Celiac Disease Awareness Month.
For me, I am using all my social media tools to put informative messages out to the general public...one person made aware could potentially find a diagnosis or save a life!
There was a New York Times article I just found that outlines a "new report, commissioned by the federal government, finds the (Food Allergy Research/Testing) field is rife with poorly done studies, misdiagnoses and tests that can give misleading results."
Now that's a sentence to grab most people's attention!
I have posted this on the website so read about this new project to understand more about Food Allergies.
Share your thoughts on this after you get a chance to review it.

Food Allergy Awareness Week starts Sunday!

Don't forget....Food Allergy Awareness Week starts next week. I posted a great new video from FAI that would be a great tool to pass on to all your friends and family. It is a collection of interviews with parents of kids with Food Allergies...keep the Kleenex handy! The link for a parents view of the impact of Food Allergies is here.
I believe sharing things like this video makes everyone more aware. I posted it on my Facebook page and an old high school friend of mine was so touched, she has been sharing it with everyone she knows...now THAT'S Awareness!
Next week I will also share more information on Celiac Disease Awareness Month...there are some local events around the country to make you aware of and many support groups are doing some wonderful things. Check out our Allergiesandme.com Food Allergies and Celiac Disease Resources page. If you don't find your group or have a suggestion, please let me know and we will get it posted.
And finally, for all my Moms out there, I hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day with your families. These are the special moments to cherish.
Happy Mother's Day!!!
