maybe something to do with acidity. like the classic baking soda and vinegar thing, but try different food items such as tomatoes or lemons. another idea is to test the fat leavel of food using fire. if you hold a flame under a peanut, it will burn until the fat is all melted,

Educating schools on food allergies

17.05.12

-->

KUSA - Beth Turner's daughter had been having a great experience at her Denver-area charter school, even while dealing with severe allergies. But, a few years ago, things changed.

"In fifth grade, we got a new principal," said Turner. "And basically he decided that they could not accommodate her any longer."

The action caused Turner to file a complaint and look into moving her daughter to another school. That was the right move, according to Michelle Freas, medical director for The Kunsburg School, which is part of National Jewish Hospital in Denver.

"[If a school won't accommodate a student's food allergies,] I think you need to look at if it's the right school and by law they need to take care of you and help you," said Freas.

The Kunsburg School houses students who have special medical needs, including food allergies. Turner moved her daughter, now 13, to the school. That move was a learning experience for the mother of two.
