Local DFW Support Group: Child Food Allergy Meeting
I have shared with you guys before our story about sweet little Matthew’s allergy to peanuts. We struggled significantly the first year of his life with severe eczema and staph infections (including MRSA). Luckily after his first birthday we were able to get it under control and eczema outbreak and infections are few and far between.
There is a local support group here in the DFW area that wants to connect with you if you are the parent or caregiver of a child with food allergies.
Kids Food Allergy Resource (KFAR) offers parents and caregivers support, educational information and resources. They share experiences, ideas, product info, doctors, schools and more through our website and monthly meetings. They also hope to increase community awareness and provide general information too.

*This group is a Parent run group. They are not medical professionals. Always consult a qualified medical doctor for medical advice particular to your situation.
If you are unable to attend the support group meetings and are just looking for a club to join online only that is okay! They would love to have you as part of their club, no matter where you live!
This is so great! If it was a little closer to me, I’d definitely join in. My 6 month old is allergic to wheat, eggs, milk, peanuts, and rye. I’m trying to continue nursing but man the diet is tough.
Oh Jamie, that can be so hard. How lucky are are to get a diagnosis so early for her. My poor Matthew had to suffer for a year before we found out what was causing his reactions.
