Its true – people with allergies/intolerances do get a raw deal. However, it is impossible to expect any institution that caters for so many to offer such individualised service.

The best thing anyone suffering from allergic symptoms can do is to see an allergy specialists to get a diagnosis of all allergies affecting them (it is rarely just the one, although it is often just the one that causes symptoms). Only by avoiding these foods (all the time, not most of the time) and allowing their immune system to go back to normal (correcting vitamin/mineral deficiencies and digestive inbalance) can you hope for full improvement. Its very hard, but its the quickest way.

That changes things a bit

Thanks for elaborating, Nikki.

So, he goes to a special school. That throws things in a different light.

Hopefully he can learn to work past needing to do things in a certain way, mean while, I totally understand why you need more support from the school.

yes i do understand but his problems go deper than just that he is also a special needs and goes to a special school for behavior as well not bad behavior, in alot of ways he cant do things on his own as for prepareing food and some oher simple tasks, but he has social anxiety disorder as well and i do what i can for him he does totally understand the allergy and what its all about, i just have read in some articles that schools with kids and food allergies have to accomodate for them or they can lose theyre federal liscence and we cant afford the exrat cost for cold lunches i was just curious if anyone knew anything about it. im not here looking for sympathy or anything just some advice from othersand thank you for yours . i do understand the taking responsibility for things too.
