[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a GLUTEN issue -- not peanuts! The kid would have to lick the counter to be affected. So keep the kid out of ONE of the kitchens -- how hard is that? I would lose my mind of I had to completely adjust my diet and my kids' diet just to accommodate a family that was staying IN ANOTHER HOUSE.[/quote] Gluten and peanuts are dangerous in very different ways. On one hand a celiac kid won't die from a trace exposure. On the other hand, most allergic kids who are exposed to peanuts recover pretty quickly with epi pens, whereas a celiac kid who is exposed to gluten can have weeks or months of symptoms, including failure to grow, and cognitive difficulties which can lead to developmental delays.
