Jude The Dude is not a medical site. I never wanted it to be, there are PLENTY of those to give you IgE levels, cause theories and what exactly happens to your body during an attack. Instead, Jude the Dude is a site for real world coping and living with this very real and very serious allergy. I have put lists of peanut free candy, peanut free finds (but please always check the labels to be sure!), news articles (warning though - some are very sad), and videos, songs, quizzes, and lists for you and your child to enjoy and to teach your child how to live safely. Our kids are up for a tough road. There are going to be days when the feel left out and times that they feel they missed out on something because of their peanut allergy. And, yes, they will miss out on some things. Hopefully, though, they can come to this site, learn they are not alone, gain the confidence to always stand up for themselves, and live with this allergy safely. Sincerely, Bridget Batson, Mom of Jude bridget@judethedude.com |
