Also in Kim Koller and Robert La Frances "Lets eat out" Allergy passport!

Welcome

The site was established in 2001 after our youngest was diagnosed as milk allergic. We found little understanding and support in the UK and so took matters into our own hands. We created Milkfree as a means of contacting others in the same situation and learning from those who had been there and ''got the t-shirt''.

We encourage not only families of affected children to use this resource, but also organisations who support such individuals, from schools and clubs to friends and beyond. It is the coming together and sharing of the knowledge and understanding we have that will help us create safer environments for our children, allowing us to make better choices for them.

Over the past few years the site has grown and developed. While we still have a primary focus on supporting a UK-based membership, we do have members from all over the globe and try to provide as much help and support to all our members regardless of geographical location! We also acknowledge that many children have more than one food problem and have an area dedicated to other food allergies.

We support and provide information via our FAQ, recipe database, articles, bookstore and the greatest resource we have - our forums, where our membership comes together to share experience and knowledge.

We at Milkfree are NOT medical experts and have no intention of supplying medical knowledge, just a friendly place for people to share experiences and learn from each other. We can offer you support, friendship, and understanding. We can also help you to arm yourself with knowledge, enabling you to interact better with the medical profession and other support networks at a time which can often be daunting and frustrating to say the least!

We do not charge you for this service; it is completely free of charge, but if you like what we do and want to help us keep helping others, you can support us by ordering from our associate Amazon through the links on this site. All money raised goes straight back into keeping this support here for people like you!

Points of interest: Lactofree Launch New Website
Point of interest

The people at  LactoFree have been hard at work , putting together a new site that aims to be the foremost resource for Lactose Intolerance information on the web http://www.lactofree.co.uk/ 





Note: We at milkfree support this, however it has to be said, Lactose intolerance is still different from Milk allergy and that should be born in mind when reading this data. Please remember we are not responsible for external content  from other sites, however we feel this is worth a look.
