While May is Celiac Awareness Month, did you know that May 14th-20th is Food Allergy Awareness Week? I do not have a food allergy, but as you may know, I’m on the board for the Food Allergy Bloggers Conference known as FABlogCon. This conference has been life-changing for many who have attended it in the past. And it’s not just a blogging conference. It’s packed with food allergy and celiac research! If you’re in this community, you need to attend FABlogCon!
This year, for Celiac Awareness Month and Food Allergy Awareness Week, FABlogCon is hosting a Twitter Party to help you get to know FABlogCon a bit more, understand what we do for the food allergy community, and give you a chance to win a free conference pass, or a 1 year subscription to Gluten Free & More magazine!

Thanks Erica & Jenny for this giveaway & for your hard work to out on the conference! I will raise money during FAAW for food allergy research, we need a cure.
Looking forward to the twitter party and hopefully attending my first FABlogCon!
I have been talking to people about celiac disease and encouraging them to get checked out and see what their results are and also encouraging those people I know that have celiac disease to keep on their gluten free diet
So excited for this! It was such an amazing opportunity meeting everyone there last year. Great people and a great cause!!
I’m educating people around me about food allergies and offering suggestions on things they can do to educate others as well. Education is the best defense against ignorance and mistakes. Making people more aware of something increases how many times they notice it. Before having to go GF, I never noticed how many products have “may contain” on them or how many places don’t offer any kind of allergen listings/menus. Educating people is the best way to raise awareness
I’m educating myself more on food allergies and spreading celiac awareness 🙂
I am SO excited for the party and to come home <3
Living each day the best that I can and sharing up to date research and information.
I’m tweeting

Blogging and sharing food allergy facts on social media as well as with friends, family and coworkers. Helped with an annual golf tournament that raised money for food allergies last week. Looking forward to the party tonight. Thanks Jenny and Erica for organizing the party and for the FABlog Con!
Since I just found out about it, I don’t have a lot of time to plan anything, but I have held get-togethers before at our home where a group of ladies with similar allergies find a new recipe to make and share the food and recipe with all the others in attendance so we can all try something new 🙂
Joining all the great chats
I’m thinking about shooting a video featuring kids w/ food allergies so people can understand what it feels like from their perspective.
I encouraged my employer in the social media field to promote their allergy friendly products during allergy awareness week. He was excited to talk about their peanut free and gluten free products. 🙂
