Re: bringing your own food....

June 12, 2006

We have an annual tradition of going to the minor league baseball game in our

home town every 4th of july to watch the game and the fireworks. Now, my DD

should get her test results back by then and will have to go gluten free. Funny

thing is that the more I read the symptoms, I realize that I have had these

problems my whole life too. So, I am speaking with my doctors tomorrow and

going to request that they do the tests on me too. AND my son is autistic and

the GF diet has been known to work very well for children with autism. SOOOOO

we will tentatively have 3 people in our family on the same diet restrictions.

NOW, as you all know, most ball fields sell hotdogs, nachos and breaded fried

things, beer, and soda. All of which we will not be able to eat or choose not

to, due to dietary choices.

I know that we cannot bring food in, but is there any law or anything protecting

people with allergies to allow them to bring their own food? I don't want to go

because our son will want every treat he sees! He doesn't take 'no' very well.

Autistic children are very black and white. I tell him its not good for him and

he doesn't believe me because he doesn't get sick from it. He is going to be

very hard to adjust and then to make sure he gets the right lunches at school.

I think I will have to go back to packing his lunches again.....

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks,

Zanna
