This is really good information to pass on to anyone with wheat allergies. I have a specific friend in mind right now. Thanks.

I’ve been fortunate to not have any problems kids who have allergies. The parents in my community tend to be very supportive.

Bellevelma- I never use nuts when my kids need to take food to share somewhere, but while I was making the cookies, I started to think about how to make them without dairy. In my recipe, I use lemon or orange juice in place of milk, I know I could use margarine instead of butter.

Is there an easy substitute for the egg?

What a refreshing article. My son DOES have food allergies. Rather than ask others to accomodate him, I just always supply his food. If it’s a class party, I’ll bake cupcakes or cookies that are safe for him to eat (no milk, eggs, or nuts) but I bring enough for the entire class.

I’m glad to know there are thoughtful teachers out there.

Kudos to you for that!

This is great. The idea that parents get upset and omitting peanuts and what not is so selfish. My children have no allergies but several of my best friends children do. I am more than happy to accommodate their precious children.

I think it’s great that you did what you did. I think it’s great to have times when a child with special needs can be included just like the rest of the kids, but I also think there are some things that the parents are better off handling themselves.

I know I’d feel much better preparing lunch or treats for my own kids if there was any kind of real danger as opposed to someone who might not be as “careful” as I would be.
