Guest guest Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Although my daycare has not done it yet (which is surprising) it is common. My kids do not have allergies, but I completely understand the reasoning behind it. I have recently heard of controversy surrounding this saying that they are " discriminating " against the kids that don't have allergies - even a case going to court about it here in Florida... ridiculous in my opinion! And even though this does not apply to you I have also heard that some daycares/schools require that ANYTHING you bring in has to have a label to it to determine if there could be certain items that other kids are allergic to.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Ok, now, let’s be sensitive as well as sensible. I am a very allergic person to ONE thing, and one thing only: CRUSTACEANS. Even touching a live or frozen and very dead one or juices from, causes an extreme anaphylactic reaction, as does inhaling the steam or fumes from cooking them. That was one of the main reason we left the Bayous, bc there, it’s inescapable and I would have died a very agonizing death early on. So yes, if someone can smell the smell, inhale the fumes, touch the product and have a reaction, then it cannot be “there”. Children must attend school and not all parents want to or can home-school. There is no glass bubble in spite of that really tacky movie from long ago. The ONLY protection I know of is to isolate the product, or the child(ren) will have to stay home from school or possibly die from continued exposure. So , some things are necessary, others aren’t. Milk can be served and available, since it’s not emanating a smell or aroma (for me it’s a stench) such as shellfish or peanuts do. Nothing I have read indicates that smelling wheat as it toasts or cooks causes a reaction, since for celiacs to have the effects it has to be ingested and be in the intestinal track where it causes the reaction. Me? I can stay away from all seafood restaurants and play 20 questions with the waiters, even ask to inspect the kitchens and cooking surfaces, and ward off another trip to ER and possible trache (and by now, certain death). So it won’t bother me at all. However, I really believe we need to take it as far as it needs to go, warning, educating and preventing Cupcakes for birthdays? I do feel sorry for today’s children that can’t even celebrate a birthday at school w their peers bc of the many tightass mothers who eat and drink then barf it out but must forbid their kids from eating foods that they themselves ate and that in normal quantities, if they kept their bodies moving instead of couchpotatoing their lives away, would not be harmful. My motto is eat, drink and be merry, and y’all know the end of that one. But let’s be reasonable and not err on either side of the pendulum. We’re supposed to be the reasonable voices.

So yes, if someone can smell the smell, inhale the fumes, touch the product and have a reaction, then it cannot be “there”. Children must attend school and not all parents want to or can home-school. There is no glass bubble in spite of that really tacky movie from long ago. The ONLY protection I know of is to isolate the product, or the child(ren) will have to stay home from school or possibly die from continued exposure. So , some things are necessary, others aren’t. Milk can be served and available, since it’s not emanating a smell or aroma (for me it’s a stench) such as shellfish or peanuts do. Nothing I have read indicates that smelling wheat as it toasts or cooks causes a reaction, since for celiacs to have the effects it has to be ingested and be in the intestinal track where it causes the reaction. Me? I can stay away from all seafood restaurants and play 20 questions with the waiters, even ask to inspect the kitchens and cooking surfaces, and ward off another trip to ER and possible trache (and by now, certain death). So it won’t bother me at all. However, I really believe we need to take it as far as it needs to go, warning, educating and preventing Cupcakes for birthdays? I do feel sorry for today’s children that can’t even celebrate a birthday at school w their peers bc of the many tightass mothers who eat and drink then barf it out but must forbid their kids from eating foods that they themselves ate and that in normal quantities, if they kept their bodies moving instead of couchpotatoing their lives away, would not be harmful. My motto is eat, drink and be merry, and y’all know the end of that one. But let’s be reasonable and not err on either side of the pendulum. We’re supposed to be the reasonable voices.

How far do we want to take this? If someone can't drink milk or eat wheat, why should anyone else be able to? I don't think liver has anything to do with it, Jan.
