 Are food allergic children safe with their own grandparents?Leaving a food allergic child with anyone can be stressful for a parent. Even family members like grandparents struggle to provide proper care. What is the answer?
Leaving a food allergic child with anyone can be stressful for a parent. Even family members like grandparents struggle to provide proper care. Oftentimes grandparents have their own methods of care. Grandparents and seniors tend to say “we didn’t have this problem when I was growing up”, and do not always listen to their child’s advice on childcare. After all, they were the parent once, but in this case, not adapting can have dangerous consequences for their grandchild. To help both parents and grandparents, Julie Trone, has written her third book, Food Allergies & Grandchildren: Background: The number of Americans with food allergies has risen significantly since 1997, according to the Centers for Disease Control, with close to 6 million children now effected. It can be a life threatening disease for some, also known as anaphylaxis. This food allergy fact does not include the estimated 1 in 133 Americans with celiac disease and the countless others who are sensitive to foods containing gluten, dairy (lactose intolerant) and beans. These food intolerances require a change in eating and for many a change in how food is stored, prepared, cooked, and served. The reason is cross contact with the offending food can result in an allergic reaction or gluten related illness. Previous Press Release: Allergy Free Table has released an online course for restaurants, students of culinary arts, food science, home economics, nutrition, and employees in the food service industry. This course, AGA Training, is approved by the American Culinary Federation for 15 continuing education hours. Author's Biography: Julie’s professional life has spanned television production, writing, and educating. When one of her sons was diagnosed with food allergies at five months old she became proactive in learning how to manage his care. Her early experience with food allergy and gluten intolerance management began as a legislative advocate. Julie has since written three books on food allergy management; Food Allergies & Schools: Pocket Guide for Educators, Food Allergies & Children: Pocket Guide for Parents; and Food Allergies & Grandchildren: Pocket Guide for Grandparents. Her company, Allergy Free Table, LLC, offers free and low cost online courses for food service staff, diners, parents, educators and students to learn practical food allergy and gluten intolerance management in a variety of settings. She has been a contributing member of the local school district’s District Advisory Board, Wellness Action Council, and Food Allergy Task Force. In addition she serves on a School Accountability Committee, Parents of Anaphylactic and Asthmatic Children organization, and numerous food allergy support groups. Julie is married, has twin sons, and lives in Fort Collins, Colorado. She enjoys travel, yoga, sports, hiking, and skiing with her family.
