Food Allergies Workshop Wednesday, May 18

Good Earth Market will be hosting a workshop titled "Food Allergies - Are They Real?" Wednesday, May 18, at 6:00PM. The speaker is Dr. Deborah Angersbach from the Yellowstone Naturopathic Clinic.

Here is the description posted on GEM's website: "Food allergies – are they real? How can you find out if you have them, and if you do, what do you do about them? In this talk, Dr. Angersbach will explain about different types of food allergies and intolerances, and what symptoms are associated with them. We will go over what testing is available, and what can be done to treat and heal the GI tract."

Although I completely disagree with the title, I have no doubt that the workshop will be interesting and informative.

Good Earth Market is located at 3024 2nd Ave N, Billings, MT 59101.

Food Allergy Awareness Week: May 8-14

FAAW 2011 has arrived. It is time to accelerate our efforts and spread the word about food allergies. The Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network (FAAN) website offers many resources to help raise awareness: flyers, various presentations, brochures, and posters, all aimed at different age groups and segments of the population.

Remember, understanding your or your child's food allergies is essential, but it is NOT enough. Educating others is just as important. Get out there and spread the word in any way you can. Put a flyer up at work or at school, hand out brochures when you're with friends and family. The more people around you understand why and what you do, and how serious food allergies are, the safer your environment will be.

Have a great week!
