Denise Alyna Saldate, 11, of West Covina, California passed away on April 6, two days after suffering a fatal allergic reaction to a milk-based toothpaste. . Denise was diagnosed with a dairy allergy at age one after struggling to properly digest breastmilk, dairy, or even soy products. Her parents were always diligent to ensure that these products were kept from her diet. . “Denise had white spots on her teeth and the toothpaste was supposed to strengthen her enamel and she was so excited to use her ‘special’ toothpaste,” her parents said. The family did not see the warnings printed on the front-and-back of the tube that the toothpaste contains Recaldent, a milk-derived protein, so they allowed her to use MI Paste One, a medicated toothpaste prescribed by her dentist. . On April 4th, she was prescribed toothpaste to help strengthen her tooth enamel. That evening, she went into anaphylactic shock, while she was brushing her teeth. Denise ran from the bathroom crying. “She said she couldn’t breath and her lips were blue,” her mother said. She passed away in hospital. . Denise’s once convinced 200 students to sign a petition for a slime club, ran her own YouTube channel, and she dreamed of becoming a veterinarian, a news producer and a restaurant owner. Her parents are sharing this tragic story of their loss to prevent other children from losing their lives. Our sympathies are with them. Rest peacefully Denise... ✨ #denisesaldate #ripdenise #foodallergies #instamemorials #foodallergyawareness #milkallergy #gonebutneverforgotten

1 in 3 children is bullied because of their food allergy. Taunted with their allergen, teased, harassed, made fun of. And potentially at risk of having a fatal anaphylactic reaction.

Always read labels. EVERY TIME. Even if you have purchased the item hundreds of times before. Manufacturers sometimes change ingredients and your allergen might be part of a new formulation . . . . #foodallergyawareness #labels #groceryshopping #foodallergies #allergies #livlikeoaks #anaphylaxis #red #redsneakersforoakley #tips #foodallergymom #foodallergyfamily #allergicliving

A teenager who had four life-threatening allergic reactions in five months is warning others never to be complacent about food allergies. . “For fourteen years we thought Madison was fine and it wasn’t going to be an issue, but it can happen anywhere, anytime,” said her mom. . Madison, who now takes two EpiPens wherever she goes and wears a medi-alert bracelet, said she had also learned some valuable lessons. . “No matter how old you are you still have to take it seriously. If you go to restaurants you need to ask people, ‘What is in this food?’ If it makes you a little bit embarrassed it doesn’t really matter,” Madison said. . Never become complacent. . . . . #anaphylaxis #foodallergy #walnutallergy #foodallergyawareness #stopanaphylaxis #brisbane #alwayswcarrytwo #giveandgo #call911 https://www.9news.com.au/2019/01/16/12/01/health-news-australia-brisbane-teens-warning-after-string-of-life-threatening-reactions

In season two, episode one, of Showtime’s series, “Billions,” Lara Axelrod is at her children’s school when she spots a small crowd of kids gathered around a girl lying on the floor outside the nurse’s office. The girl struggles for breath, her face is covered in red blotchy spots, and her forehead dotted with perspiration. The nurse is on the phone calling emergency personnel, saying the girl came into her office complaining of nausea, then she vomited. The nurse tells Lara the girl is having a seizure. “She’s in anaphylaxis,” Lara says with certainty as she kneels next to the girl and searches her backpack for the girl’s EpiPen. Lara finds it while the camera focuses on her face and the squirming girl on the floor trying to breathe. She presses the Epipen into her thigh. “Listen, you’re having a reaction,” Lara tells the girl, “but I gotchyou.” In the midst of this commotion, there’s a moment when the viewer sees the nurse’s eyes widen in horror as she realizes she failed to recognize anaphylaxis. The scene is particularly compelling because it touches on a universal fear most of us have — that we wouldn’t know what to do if we were with someone else’s child having a life-threatening allergic reaction. The fear is understandable. When I first learned our first child was allergic to peanuts and tree-nuts and the concept of an EpiPen was new to me. I imagined scenarios of having to save his young life, raising my arm, EpiPen in hand, ready to jab his thigh to administer an injection of adrenaline as he clutched his throat with both hands. I was relieved to learn you don’t ever jab an EpiPen, but rather, hold it to the person’s thigh and press. -via Motherly on @huffpost #anaphylaxis #foodallergies #epinephrine #foodallergyawareness

Teaching moment. Want a great visual idea to get across cross-contamination to people? . People often don’t get it when you just try to explain it. . So, get some glitter. Spread it on a table and put it on people’s hands. Then have them touch others, things in the room, books, pens, toys, anything. The glitter spreads everywhere just as peanut residue would. Then, put the glitter on everyone’s hands and try to brush it off. You can’t. Try to wipe it off with a tissue, rinse it off with just water. You still can’t. Finally, scrub with soap and water and dry until you actually get it all off. (If you’re able!) . It’s a great way to illustrate that any one of those pieces of glitter could cause a reaction in your child. #redsneakersforoakley #rsfo . . . . #foodallergyawareness #foodallergies #allergies #livlikeoaks #anaphylaxis #epinephrine #red #redsneakers #foodallergyfriends #foodallergyfamily #allergicliving #glitter #tryandwashitoff #teachingmoment #endallergiestogether #epifirstepifast #alwayscarrytwo #giveandgo

Just when you thought ordering an almond milk smoothie would be safe. Well, maybe not if you have a dairy allergy. . Smoothie bars often add whey protein to their shakes because it contains an incredible range of essential amino acids. However, word to the wise. . Whey is one of two proteins found in milk. The other is casein. The two are separated by adding specific enzymes which split the milk into liquid and solid particles. The solids are the curds or casein, and the liquid is the whey. Hence, curds and whey. When you have a milk allergy, it means your body cannot break down one or both of milk’s natural proteins, casein and whey. . Some dietitians minimize possible reactions because whey protein isolate contains less than 1 percent lactose. But even though pure whey protein isolate contains very little lactose, why take the risk? Just ask Stephanie Kelly @mumma_and_boys who happened to give her dairy allergic son Teddy a sip of her smoothie, which happened to contain whey protein powder. Teddy is ok now, but it was a scary reminder of the need to always be vigilant. . When ordering that smoothie or shake, make sure you ask about all ingredients if you or a family member have dairy allergies. And if you really want whey protein in your smoothie, there are non-dairy versions. . . . . #dairyallergy #milkallergy #foodallergies #redsneakersforoakley #foodallergyawareness #smoothies #proteinpowder #wheyprotein #aminoacids #almondmilk #almondmilksmoothie #alwaysask #easytoask #anaphylaxis #australia

Allergy Hero of the Week: Huddersfield University alum Daniel Kelly tackled allergy issues as part of his graphic design studies. Daniel, who himself has a severe nut allergy, created a magazine and booklet about the dangers of anaphylaxis. The booklet is called "May Contain" – a reference to the warning carried on food and drink that may contain nuts. The photography is stunning, and uses high fashion models with an epipen. See the images below. Daniel has launched a blog - see his YouTube video with the story behind @_maycontain. “No one knew what an epipen was.”‬ ‬ ‪https://youtu.be/bsKWESXh3tQ‬ (link in his bio) Other references: http://www.examiner.co.uk/news/west-yorkshire-news/huddersfield-university-student-daniel-kelly-9375719 https://www.daniel-ak.com May Contain Epi Booklet https://issuu.com/danielkellydesign/docs/final_3_issuu__booklet_body_text_fi #foodallergies #foodallergyhero #foodallergyawareness #education #maycontain #anaphylaxis #epipen #photography
