  Cristina Stainkamp is PAK's President and Webmaster, cristina@protectallergickids.org.  She is the proud mom of three beautiful children. Her 9 year old has life threatening food allergies to milk and milk products, and is very allergic to dust and dogs.  He was allergic to eggs, beef and peanuts, and recently outgrew them.  He has asthma which puts him at greater risk for Anaphylaxis, and is allergic to pollution.  Sachem Public School District in Long Island, New York, has provided him an aide at school to 'shadow' him when he is around food, and on the bus.   Her 7 year old was recently diagnosed with a tree nuts allergy.  He also has a 504 Plan which includes an aide on the bus.  They share the bus with other food allergic children.  Her 2 year old has been allergy tested three times, and is negative to the top eight food allergens.  Cristina was anaphylactic to all fish (which started at the age of 21), and outgrew it sixteen years later.  She has asthma and is anaphylactic to Levaquin/Cipro (a brand of antibiotics).  Read more in the Long Island Press.
