Hi! Ginger from RambleRamble sent me your way. My son was diagnosed with a peanut allergy last week (one exposure to peanuts, and he was puking and hive-ing).  I'm not glad to hear you were mourning, but at the same time, it helped me feel less alone in this. Of course there are worse things, but allergies just feel so...global? Like, where do we eat? Can we even walk down the candy aisle? How do I teach him (at 2.5) that some foods, foods he ate in the past, might make him sick?

It straight-up sucks. But, oooh, those chocolate chips appear NOT to suck. Thanks for posting about them. I ordered some Halloween candy for E from Vermont Nut-Free Chocolates. The taste is decent, but their M&amp;M sub includes every food color in existence. Boo.

Good luck to you guys.
