Seeking Moms - Oklahoma City,OK

Hey B.

I haven't experinced any food allergies with my kids, and I'm sure that is difficult to manage. Do you have to read all the ingredients on labels? I have a friend of mine who all of her children have asthma and managing the medication and the breathing treatments became so overwhelming. She found a company that had products that were environmentally safe, and family friendly. After she started using them she found that the kids had less problems with their breathing and her cost for medication decreased! My oldest always had the same problem when I would clean. Using bleach and stuff like that, I started using these cleaners, and the difference is amazing. So If the children have a reaction to your cleaning products, try and find something that is more natural. It makes a world of difference!
Have a great day!

There is Central Illinois Food Allergy Network (CIFAN) which will be meeting Tuesday, Jan. 29th at the Champaign Library. We can be reached at www.cifan.org . Hopefully, this is a step in the right direction!

I work with a company that was started by a mom who had a child who had severe allergies to the preservatives and additives in food. Does your child have any of those problems? You may want to check out my website to learn a little more about my company, http://sbarnum.mywildtree.com WE are a ALL NATURAL food company. None of our food products have artificial preservaties, additives, MSG or artificial colors. I'd love to share more if you'd like.

I am a 33 yo single mother of 2. My 15 yo son is healthy as can be, but my 6 yo son has battled major allergies with associated asthma since he was one. We battle constantly with his allergies and he as even spent a few days in the hospital with the asthma that comes with it. The only food allergy he has is very mild and is eggs. But something environmental makes him really act up about twice a year. I know how tiring and frustrating it can be, especially when the allergies are bad. I have lost 2 jobs because of him being sick and needing to be at home on round the clock treatments and I almost always get that look of 'is her son really that sick or is she using it as an excuse'. But, like I always tell the people I work for. There are other jobs, there is only one of my son, he comes first.
