Genetics Have a Role in Passing on Severe Food Allergies to Children

June 6, 2010 - PRLog -- Southfield, MI - Recent studies showed that 3.3 million Americans are allergic to peanuts or tree nuts, and 6.9 million are allergic to seafood.

Further, they report that allergies have a genetic component. If only one parent has allergies of any type, chances are 1 in 3 that each child will have an allergy. If both parents have allergies, the chances increase to 7 in 10 that their children will have allergies.

Allergies can be passed from parent to child. Children may inherit the tendency to develop allergies if either parent or any family member suffers from eczema, asthma, or food allergies. The specific allergy is not inherited from the parents, merely the tendency to be allergic. If neither parent is allergic research suggests that there is still a 5-15% chance that the child will develop allergies.

AllerDine.Com, an organization in suburban Detroit, is an advocacy for 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 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."
