The Allergy Friendly Restaurant guide from AllerDine will point the way.
Southfield, MI - Increased childhood vaccinations being a causal factor of severe food allergies are along the same line of thinking as the hygiene hypothesis. The immune system doesn’t spend its time fighting off mumps or measles, and instead views the peanut or the egg as an invader. The more your immune system is kept busy by exposure to germs and infections early in life, the less time it can devote to things like allergy.
The issue with vaccinations is multi-faceted., and today many of those vaccinations are received in a 5-in-1 dose rather than spread out over several months or years.
Most children will not experience any reaction to their vaccinations yet their immune systems may be set up to react to peanut protein, for example, in the future. From some research I found, it appears that the advent of the Hib vaccine (Haemophilus influenza type B) in the early 1990’s in the USA and in 2001 in Sweden (and various dates in other countries) has created high rates of peanut allergy regardless of peanut consumption. In countries such as China and Indonesia, where large quantities of peanuts are eaten, but the Hib vaccine is not routinely given, peanut allergies are almost non-existent. There may be a link between the Hib vaccine and peanut allergy.
The CDC recommended childhood vaccination schedule for January – June 1996 included 15 immunizations for children under the age of 2 years. In 2006, the recommended vaccination schedule increased by almost 50%, with 22 immunizations for children under the age of 2. This doesn’t include the annual flu vaccine. Doctors continue to work on getting parents to have their children vaccinated to increase compliance rates.
AllerDine.Com, an organization in suburban Detroit, is an advocacy for severe food allergy sufferers who would like to live their lives as normal as possible. AllerDine.Com has created a state-by-state data base that identifies which restaurants in your neighborhood offer allergy-safe cooking policies and menus.
AllerDine.Com has contacted and then surveyed restaurants throughout the United States and Canada about their food-allergy policy and their allergy friendly kitchen layout. Their database was then transformed into The Food Allergy Friendly Restaurant Guide.
Today, the AllerDine.Com Food Allergy Friendly Restaurant Guide is an invaluable tool for families that are afraid to dine out with food allergy issues. Dining out can be daunting for a family with severe food allergies. Giving up control of what goes on your plate to strangers is intimidating, especially when the kitchen is behind closed doors and you can't be sure whether your waiter understands exactly what you mean by "allergic to dairy."
Dining out is now possible for families with serious food allergies! Search for restaurants, add a restaurant or rate a restaurant.
