Food Allergies In Schools

The increased prevalence of food allergies in school children, the rapid onset of symptoms and potentially fatal nature of anaphylaxis, combined with the high risk of accidental exposure warrants significant action.

Contact with certain fields can be fatal for some children with allergies. This means that great care has to be taken and I system must be designed to vent children from coming into contact with their allergen (for example nuts or dairy products). Where the allergy is severe, this may affect the food that can be prepared and eating in the setting as some children can have a reaction just from being near other children who are eating food containing and allergen.

This was a rare day in my everyday life of being allergic to nuts and sesame seeds. Many people have heard about food allergies, but do not actually know what they are. A food allergy is when the immune system produces antibodies in defense against a substance that is actually not harmful to the body. There is no cure for food allergies yet, and the reaction can ultimately be life threatening. Dealing with an allergy is an everyday challenge that has forced me to become more aware of the food I eat. My family and I discovered my allergy at a young age, and one of the ways I manage it is by always

It is important to following carers instructions in relation to their child’s allergies and intolerances as it’s a sign of respect. Children develop a difference of likes and dislike of food. Some children prefer their food completely dry, a roast dinner, without gravy, for example. Some children also like to have each item separated on their plate, and are unable to eat their food, if it is all mushed together. Some children also don’t like certain textures, such as bits in their yoghurt/soup, crunchy bits, or tough meats, or hard to chew. Taste can change often, with some time, but it is important that we offer alternatives for children who dislike those certain foods that is offered to them.

It is common in the United States for people to have food allergies and it is increasing. The body's negative reaction to a specific food protein is what is known to be a food allergy. The most common food allergies are milk and dairy products, egg and egg products, fish and shellfish, wheat, soy and soy products, and peanuts and tree nuts (Servsafe). Different food allergies develop in people at different times in their lives depending on the allergy and the person themselves. Fish and shellfish food allergies tend to not develop until adulthood. With fish approximately forty percent of people who were in a study on food allergies said that they did not have their first fish allergic reaction until they were an adult. With shellfish, about sixty percent of people had their first reaction when they were adults. Everyone to some extent is allergic to a type of food, but fish and shellfish food allergies are two of the most common and can possibly be the most dangerous out of all the food allergies. To help people with a shellfish and fish allergy to stay safe and healthy the rest of this essay will be focused on: basic information of fish and shellfish allergies, common symptoms of the allergies, what is anaphylaxis and how to treat it, and how to

Have you ever seen a child with an allergy at school that forgot their lunch, and had to buy an emergency lunch but couldn’t eat anything on the tray. Well, that is what’s happening for students that cannot eat gluten. We can stops this! That is why I think Gluten gluten free foods should be served in schools because it is healthier, increases fairness for students, and is something different for student’s diets. Some people may say Gluten gives us a healthier diet than gluten free, but I disagree!

About 17 to 18 million U.S. citizens (http://www.parentherald.com/articles/22242/20160222/oral-immunotherapy-reverse-children-s-food-allergies-100-percent-combined.htm) have allergies to at least one food. There is a 65 percent chance of tehir children inheriting their allergies. It is estimated that one-quarter of food allergic people will suffer an episode of anaphylaxis (http://stanmed.stanford.edu/2014fall/i-can-eat-it.html)

The purpose of this study is to focus on an evidence based approach to reducing peanut allergies in children by introducing peanut based foods at an early age.

For some people who are very sensitive towards peanuts, very small quantities of peanuts can also cause severe reactions. ("Peanut Allergy...The Shocking Facts - Allergies: Allergy Symptoms, Treatment, and Medications on MedicineNet.com", n.d.)

Kids with a peanut food allergy have a lot to watch out for since there are many different types of food that use peanuts. It was lunch time and my mom made a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for herself and I wanted to take a bite. After I ate the sandwich my face started to turn red and puffy. My mom knew something terrible was happening so we went straight to the doctor. When I got there they had to run a bunch of tests on me to see what happened and what caused it. I was about one or two years old when this happened. I was very scared because I didn’t know what was happening. Peanuts can have a big impact on kids if they have an allergy to them. Every kid who has an allergy has to look at the labels on food to make sure that they can eat it. Kids’ lives can change due to an unexpected allergic reaction to nuts or other food.

Schools should ban tree nuts and peanuts from school. Kids with nut allergies are pretty severe that they can cause rashes, hives, swelling in the mouth witch can causes death.Kathy says that if her son is exposed to nuts he could become very sick or even die.

Schools should ban peanuts from schools because they can feel unsafe. They will be worried when they might smell peanuts or when they may have accidentally touched a peanut. If they do make contact or even smell peanuts they will have an allergic reaction called anaphylaxis. Some effects of anaphylaxis may include feeling uneasy at first, dizziness, difficulty breathing and sometimes even fainting. This can be life threatening. Knowing this, kids can feel very unsafe.

Food allergies are abnormal immunological responses to a special food or food component . Two types of abnormal immunological responses can happen immediately and delayed reactions. Both are well documented to occur in certain individuals at ingestion of specific foods.recently These illnesses are spread and sometimes called individualistic reverse reactions to foods because they affect only certain individuals in the population.In addition ,Cause of food allergy enter hospital almost thirty thousand people to the emergency room, and up to a hundred to two hundred deaths each year (Taylor and Hefle. 2005).

Research on Food Allergies True food allergies are not as common as many people believe and do in fact only affect about 2% of children. However, they are more common in younger children (affecting about 5-8% of younger children). Fortunately, most younger children will outgrow these food allergies by the time that they are three years old.
