Thank you so much for what you do!
We, like your family, were foodies. Our youngest child, however, it turned out had a similar experience as you had. -- Skin issues in infancy which we later found out were due to allergies to milk, eggs, soy, all nuts, sesame seeds, bananas ... and who knows what else? So, for the past two years, we have been on a steep learning curve of finding out which products we can bring into our home and which restaurants (turns out not to many) we can visit.
Recently, we moved from the U.S. to the Netherlands, and our learning curve has had to start again from ground zero. Fortunately, the labelling seems to be pretty good. -- at least in some grocery stores. However, finding any nut-safe baked goods has proven nearly impossible and, in a place where dairy is culturally central, it is also difficult to find anything not containing milk.
I just wanted to mention that we recently found a few types of the "Back To Nature" brand of cookies that appear to be milk-, egg-, and soy-free as well as nut safe. The oatmeal cookies and the "Classic Cremes," both come to mind. I emailed the company to make sure the cookies were not produced in facilities that also process nuts and their reply indicated that they stand by their labelling. Our children were so happy to see the "Oreo"-type cookies back in our home. For allergic children, the limitations on treats -- at parties, on Halloween -- can be really segregating, so it was so nice to see some very tasty cookies that appear to be o.k. In any case, I didn't notice these on your list of products, so I wondered whether maybe I was wrong in thinking some of the "Back To Nature" cookies were nut-safe?
Unfortunately, most of the wonderful allergen-free products we have come to rely upon in the States are, to our knowledge, not available in the Netherlands. And, interestingly, some of them are different. For example, the Rice Dream and Oat Dream that are sold here are made with sunflower oil but the ones we buy in the U.S. are not, if I remember correctly.
Thanks again for keeping up your blog. Are there any of your kindred spirit bloggers in Europe? We will definitely keep reading your blog and also pass along the link to our many friends who also have children with many food allergies and related conditions.

What an amazing blog to be "Blog of the Day" for Blogger. I was getting a bit disappointed recently with the choices but they just redeemed themselves.
I love your site, and will look forward to exploring it further. I have had some health/allergy issues this year and the whole "local/sustainable/organic" only diet is looking like a good transitions to make in my life right now.
I just wanted to let you know about a project that a friend of mine just made public. She wrote a book, Abby the Alley Cat to help her son with a severe milk allergy he has. Beyond the milk he is allergic to all dairy and all nuts. I know you'll love the Youtube video (Just search Abby the Alley Cat) for the reading of the book. Mom is the narrator and I'm so proud of her and this amazing book for kids with allergies. It's been a long journey for them.

I love your site.
CONGRATULATIONS because your website is a Blog Of Note.
I know, Google Loves you!
CONGRATULATIONS again...
thank you for the link.
I have to face a similar problem, suffering from allergic symptomes myself since my childhood.
For me, bio resonance helped a lot, and reflexology, too.

food alergies is not something we have had to deal with in our family but we have a 20 month old and before I had him I didn't think of it at all then I had to start looking for everything.

Though I am lucky to not be allergic to nuts, I love your blog! Very insightful - I love the layout too :)
I've recently started a blog & would love any advice you'd be willing to share on how to increase readership & how to be relevant to those who do enjoy the blog. What types of things have you found people to be more responsive to? I can give you my url if it would help with suggestions...
Thanks in advance! Again, love your blog :)
