There are 2 types of parents in this world: parents of allergic kids, and parents who feel badly for parents of allergic kids. I have a dear friend who has a son with peanut and tree nut allergies. This resource list is for her family and any others who must alter diets around food allergies. I focused this list on sites and organizations that provide social networking for kids with allergies and online resources including recipes you can use in school lunches. After all, most people who have allergic kids have to pack their kids lunch boxes every day! I hope you find some good information here. If you have other favorite sites, send them along and I will add them in.
