New AllergyEats App

So, I’ve blogged about Allergy Eats many times before.  You know I think it’s an awesome resource, but can only be useful if users rate restaurants.  Now, it’s easier than ever to do… with new iPhone and Android apps!

AllergyEats Apps!

AllergyEats.com

You can read the word from Allergy Eats about the release here or get the app you need here.

Paul from AllergyEats is good people, he recently donated to FAAN for my Food Allergy Walk in Pittsburgh!

I encourage you to spread the word to anyone that you know with food allergies, so we can all take advantage of the awesome ever-expanding database now available anywhere that you can get cell phone service!

FAAN & Food Allergy Guidelines

Yeah, I know I just blogged about Food Allergies, & I try not to beat that subject to death, but Twitter was blowing up this morning on this subject, so I felt that I needed to say something.

Here are some tweets & re-tweets:

New NIH #foodallergy guidelines: what's in it for patients: http://is.gd/ii2kt

What does all this mean?  As far as I can tell, it’s just a coming-together of the powers that be in the food allergy world to say, “Hey, if we’re gonna get anywhere with awareness & treatment, we’re gonna all need to get on the same page so we can move forward.”

If this is of interest to you… I urge you to check out the following links to read-up on what it means for those afflicted with food allergies:

• FAAN | FAAN Endorses Food Allergy Guidelines for Clinicians
• Please Don’t Pass The Nuts™ | Food Allergy Guidelines, NIAID
• Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Food Allergy in the United States | What’s in It for Patients
• NIAID | Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Food Allergy in the United States
• Audio | Press conference with Dr. Fenton and Dr. Sampson (*.mp3)
• American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology | Anaphylaxis Emergency Action Plan (*.pdf)

Hopefully, you’ll find the time (like I hope to) to be able to take that all in and see what it means for you & your friends or family members who may be deathly allergic to something that’s in kitchens, food processing plants, grocery stores, & other food venues all over the place.
