Ahhh.. Halloween!  The chance to be someone, or something else for the night and consume ridiculous amounts of sugar filled candy all in the name of tradition!  I wasn't expecting red #40 to become a topic of conversation 2 times over the weekend, but since it did, I thought I would share with you what I learned about this hot topic in the food allergy world.

It is true; I started this blog for a college course assignment.  I am grateful that I was required to do so because it is something I had been thinking about doing for a long time.  My story of how I came to be a Dietetic student is paved with the reason I am so interested in blogging about this topic... food allergies!

In March of 2008, only 6 days after my son was born, he woke up covered in bloody vomit.  After rushing him to the emergency room, followed by a transfer to a children's hospital, and then a barrage of testing, I received the news.  My baby, Jack,  was severely milk protein intolerant.
