Non-PA food allergy

Good question, I was actually wondering the same. I was not going to push the 504 for my now 3 1/2yr old(once he enters Kindergarten) because his his allergies are not life threatening....but will talk with his allergist before making a deff decision(I need to discuss his egg and milk levels, I do have an Epi just in case, but not sure if he'd be considered for a 504....) He is allergic to milk, soy, eggs, pork and beef. I'd be curious to see what others suggest. My 6yr old has an Epipen for peanuts, nuts and eggs....so I will incorporate ALL of those foods into his 504(working on it right now). And over the next 4 years I'll need to watch my 1yr old, for now she needs an Epipen for milk and eggs....so if it's still that high at age 4, then I'll do a 504 for her too. The school thinks my 6yr old is alot to deal with, wait until his brother and sister get there, lol!!

Dd started kindergarten allergic to milk, eggs, peanuts, cranberries, sweet potatoes. We were also told to avoid tree nuts and shellfish. She started with a 504, but I would have done a 504 even if she were only allergic to peanuts. All peanut allergy is life threatening. In fact, she did not test positive to peanuts until age 5 and I cried when I saw the skin test turn red, because peanut is the one most likely to cause fatalities.

I'm interested in what others say about this as well. My ds is going to start kindergarten in the fall of this year and is allergic to peanuts dairy and egg.
