Those of you living in the San Diego area may want to join and participate in the activities organized by the San Diego Food Allergy Support Group. Their invitation reads:

We are a group of parents raising food allergic children located throughout San Diego County and beyond, and have an affiliation with the Asthma & Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) , a non-profit organization. Together we face the balancing act of keeping our kids safe from the food that surrounds them while encouraging them to experience the activities and joys of a "normal" way of life. We invite you to come to our meetings and educational seminars, share your challenges and triumphs in our online forum, and learn from other parents who have children with food and latex allergies.

Check out their web page for their calendar of meetings and events. If you want to read the story how this support group came about, read this NC Times feature article.
