[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 70635, member: 439"] My oldest is allergic to milk. He had EVERY type of reaction - hives, nausea and vomiting, hyperactivity, acne - EXCEPT shock from injesting even the tiniest amounts. I always contacted his teachers in the summer before he got to their classroom. I basically said most of what you did, including sending in specifically "safe" treats. But he also knew he could NOT eat anything with milk in it. If he asked and the person was not sure, he would refuse it or offer to bring it home for his brother. While I agree that the teacher should not have gone against your prohibitions, somehow you must try and get your son to understand the significance AND harm that eating the "wrong" foods can cause. As you get a better idea of what is causing the problems, you'll need to also reinforce those things he can safetly have. For instance, my son is NOT allergic to peanuts, so he knows that a PNB sandwich on whole wheat bread (which usually does not have milk in it) is a safe bet. Even in the Navy, he still knows to ask the mess hall for a PNB alternative if they are serving something he should not eat. [/QUOTE]
