I'm of the opinion that it's ok if you talk about other allergies, just start your thread in the right area and make the subject of the thread (that everyone sees while glancing through) adequately descriptive. There are many on here who have multiple food allergies and multiple life threatening food allergies.
welcome :-)

oh well then slap me and call me silly. I posted a recall related to allergies other than [i]peanuts[/i] in the "alert and recall" board. [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/tongue.gif[/img]
Considering there are members dealing with more than one allergy here, and some of them dealing also with PA, [i]I considered it related to PA[/i]. Does that make sense?

ROTFLMAO!!! I've got to come to this forum more often!!!
BTW, Josh's Mom --- post as many questions as you like -- even non-PA!!! I will agree that many of us have multiple issues that we are dealing with & many things do go hand in hand. I would guess, too, that if you put a question in the "wrong" place many of us would forgive you (but it is helpful to kind of try to figure out which forum, because you might get more specific answers to your questions, as not all members regularly visit the same forums & threads.).

If you are gonna use that as a come back... well, I'll answer there, for fear we might get a penalty flag thrown at us for posting in the wrong forum!
Headed to Off-Topic right now......
This thread was started five years ago and the board has changed significantly since then. That's why we were trying to explore having a separate heading, but as part of the main part of the board (not Off Topic) for Multiple Food Allergies.
Now, we just discuss them all in the same threads, but as I believe agauthier pointed out, with a heading saying maybe, "hey, help with MA or EA".
I actually re-raised this thread because McCobbre had suggested to tidina that she not post in capitals and one post in this thread explains why it's not okay in netiquette terms.
The board is a lot more open to a lot of things now than it was five years ago.
josh's mom, sorry, didn't mean to get you upset. [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/smile.gif[/img]
Maybe this is what Anna Marie meant by a KABOOM about to happen, but really it shouldn't.
I can edit my post, but the person who responded initially, I don't think they're still posting, so they can't edit their response.
Then, my response to that person was really a question for Chris about a new heading for the board - Multiple Food Allergies because I think ALL of us recognize that most all of us aren't solely dealing with PA.

"That was Polanski. Nicholson got his nose cut."
You know what? I just re-read this whole thread and paid particular attention to the part about other food allergies. To me, there was nothing offensive in there. What I was saying, was that I found, five years ago, if someone posted about another FA, they weren't getting the same type of response that they would have gotten had they posted about PA.
So, we went back and forth with ideas, right from the first post, and thought hey, great idea. Because PA.com is the place that people come to. Chris was approached with the idea of having a separate heading, not Off Topic, so that other FA's could be discussed with other members who are dealing with the same FA's (other than PA but probably also including PA) with other members who are dealing with them as well.
Still to this day, I can't help another member dealing with EA, MA, or any other FA because I'm dealing with PA only (touch wood).
I still think what we proposed to Chris was done well.
So, josh's mom, please re-read, and untie those knickers. [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/wink.gif[/img]

I'll second that.
And I'll third it. And it's funny--I just read this thread tonight--just came upon it. Did you raise it in response to my post about the cross-contaminated shrimpy tongs in the Adults with PA board under the GI tract only thread??
Anyway, I read the entire thread without realizing that Cindy reraised it for me, really appreciating it, and then BOOM. giggle.
Yes, as much as so many of us have to deal iwth multiple FAs it would be nice to have a separate board for that. I do get frustrated when I see product warnings and restaurant warnings for allergies other than peanuts--mostly because there's an initial "Oh no!" adrenaline rush. And then the response is, "we don't have to worry about that."
But this board deals with food allergies like no other one I've seen. And ironically, I sense more in common with Adele my GI reaction to shellfish (and still I think to peanut) than with other folks on the Allergic Living shellfish boards who never ever ever post. It's dead over there. There's no community. At least I can learn from Adele's experience, even if it's not from shellfish.
So I'm seeing two "sides," if there must be sides. We have a lot to offer each other--it'd be great to have a place here dedicated to that so we wouldn't have to crowd the regular places dedicated to peanut. But since (1) many folks don't go to OT and (2) people mess up, the regular places will probably be crowded regardless.
