My son grew up with an allergy to peanut butter, peanuts, grapes and raisans, but we NEVER expected the school to ban those from everyone else's diets! He was expected to pay attention and be responsible, himself. When he didn't, he paid for it with a trip to the hospital. He eventually outgrew it.

Likewise, my grandson is allergic to eggs. That doesn't mean his daycare and the rest of us cannot have eggs. Even at almost three years old, if he is told something has egg in it he knows it is "icky" and will not touch it. He also wears a medic alert tag so that caregivers, etc. are reminded and are careful. It's ridiculous to think all should be banned from eating one food, becasue of one's allergies. Are they going to start eliminating all the bees, ragweed, etc. which also cause allergies?

Good luck to you and it's sad that this has happened.
