[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just assume that regardless of school rules, a parent whose kids don't have food allergies is not going to have the same level of vigilance or awareness that I do and thinks as long as they're not sending in PBJs, it's fine.

[b]I can't tell you the number of people who upon learning of my son's milk allergy have said things like "So he has to drink Lactaid?" or "But he can have yogurt, right?"[/b] If it doesn't concern you or your child, you're probably not going to devote a lot of time to educating yourself. I don't have diabetic children, so I know nothing about what they can or can not eat, how to monitor blood sugar, etc.

I know I can't control my child's environment. The best I can do is make sure everyone who cares for my child knows the signs of an allergic reaction and knows it's better to overtreat than undertreat.[/quote]

Maybe those people know that many people with milk allergies can eat yogurt, and are wondering if they can give him some.[/quote]
Completely off-topic, but you are confusing a lactose intolerance with a milk allergy and those to two entirely different things. A lactose intolerance is not an allergy.[/quote]
