Food Allergy Awareness week 2011

We are nearing the end of Food Allergy Awareness week.   I have been taking some time to raise awareness on Non-IgE Food Allergy.   Non-IgE involves the immune system but in a different way then typical (IgE) allergy.  The effects are not as immediate but can be just as serious.   

I have become involved in a foundation for Protein Intolerant Children (PIC).  Our website is located here: The PIC Foundation where "Our mission is to improve the lives of protein intolerant children and their families by providing information, resources, support forums, and by promoting public awareness and supporting medical research."  We also have a facebook page, to utilize the social media to help raise awareness and support for families and can be found here: PIC Facebook page where you will find the article our foundation wrote, and are utilizing to raise awareness on Non-IgE Food Allergy.  Help us raise awareness and share the information!  Medical journal article references are listed if more information is needed (for yourself or your doctor).
