MoM - would you consider an allergy column or recipe section?

19 Comments

Whilst I know not all children are affected by allergies, it is certainly becoming more prevalent in society. My little boy has a couple of allergies and asthma and only mild dryness now, but had severe eczema until more recent times. A few mums have posted beautiful recipes for allergy sufferers and I have been so grateful. I was wondering given the amount of children affected if we could have a temporary or ongoing feature section on allergies or recipes. We could all share and help each other out with ideas. There are so many things that could be included in a temporary feature section, that I think it would be a great success. Just an idea…

Hi Heidi,
Well it has been quite a while, was wondering what the outcome was.
This is such a great idea and I applaud you for your smart thinking.

What a great idea! It would be wonderful to be able to find all these recipes in the one section. Such a great help for mums with young sufferers

A really good idea to have all the allergy recipes in one place.

What a great idea – I’ve needed to make a few things lately for my daughters play group and it has been great when there has been recipes for gluten/dairy/egg free

I think recipes and cleaning products would be good, to help with allergies

I might give the MoM team an email, just to see what they say. I guess I can only broach the subject with them and see what they say.

Terrific idea as it would help out so many mothers that may need it.

Great idea. Allergies are so prevalent these days, and I’ve noticed not just for kids. More and more of my friends are being diagnosed with allergies to things such as gluten and frutose, where they were never allergic to these things before.

I think a permanent section would be of great support and help to mums . Great idea and thank you so much for posting. I am very gluten sensitive and it can be hard for me at times and can imagine it is double the trouble for children with issues . I support this idea 100%.

That’s actually a great idea. I don’t believe either of our girls have any allergies (although it could change, my husband’s side of the family probably has everything you can think of lol), but you’re right in that it is becoming more prevalent. I couldn’t imagine how hard it would be to have a child with allergies so it would be great to have a section that would help support those parents.

one thing I have found is asthma and eczema seem to end up going hand in hand as 3 of us have asthma than comes the eczema but we have no food allergies. I also think alot of kids get allergies these days as the food has so many additives and is not as fresh like they use to be way back when. I agree you see kids with alot more allergies these days

I don’t have a child with allergies but i have a few friends that do and they both say that they find it hard to come up with new ideas for meals and snacks for their children.
I think this would be a great idea.

  It is tricky to always come up with new ideas. Also articwynter I quite agree our diets have changed dramatically in a relatively short period of time. I remember growing up and a lot of people just had a veggie patch in their back yard as a standard thing. Thanks for your support ladies.
