Specialty T-Shirts with Sensitive messages; Gluten-Free, Wheat-Free, Dairy-Free, Peanut-Free, etc...

With SensitiviTees™ you can make sure that other people are sensitive to your child’s needs—with a little bit of lighthearted fun mixed in! 

SensitiviTees™ is a unique line of clothing for babies, toddlers, children, and adults that convey something special about the wearer that can be very helpful for others to know about. 

Through whimsical artwork and colorful “be sensitive” messages, the SensitiviTees™ apparel line broadcasts your message and helps others be more understanding about potentially sensitive situations—from food allergies to new adoptions to breast cancer awareness. 

A look at our website, www.SensitiviTees.com, will show you why SensitiviTees™ 
is “the sharing caring clothing company.”

SensitiviTees™ grew out of our experiences dealing with our son’s food allergies, and our concerns about how to deal with this issue as he entered school; we were very nervous about a teacher or teacher’s aide not remembering about our son’s allergies since even our own family members forget! We understand from our own first-hand experience how hard it can be sometimes for parents to get the word out about a particular issue and hope that everyone around your children understands as well. 


As moms who care deeply about helping other people become more sensitive to our son’s allergies, we wanted to do everything possible to help him. Out of this concern came our solution and in July 2010, the SensitiviTees™ line of graphic apparel was born.

After developing our line of allergy-related sensitivity messages, we soon realized that the "be sensitive" message was applicable to other areas of life, such as adoption and same-sex parenting, so we added those designs to our SensitiviTees™ brand. In 2012 we added gluten-free to our line. Feel free to contact us at sensitivitees@gmail.com with your suggestion for other messages for our graphic shirts, dresses, and infant clothing and accessories.

WAHM Reviews SensitiviTees

"SensitiviTees: Specialty T-Shirts with Sensitive messages; Gluten-Free, Food Allergies, Gay Marriages, Adoption, Breast Cancer Awareness.

When I was first introduced to this product I was so excited! My son has a Dairy allergy and now that he is mobile and independent, 3 years old, it is more difficult at large gatherings to make sure he isn’t given something with Dairy in it. The t-shirt I requested will help tremendously with this issue. It has a large cow on the front and written underneath, in large print, it says Dairy Allergy. I was able to base my size decision on measurements they provided for youth shirts. A youth size would have been too large for my son so I ordered a toddler size. After communicating with Stacy at SensitiviTees I received my package a week later. To my surprise the package included the t-shirt I requested and a long sleeve shirt also.

I was very happy with the quality of the shirts. The t-shirt is a thin material and will not be too heavy for the summer months. The long sleeve shirt is a thicker material and prefect for other seasons. Upon receiving the package I washed the shirts according to the washing instructions provided. They washed up very well. They are made of 100% cotton and it is recommended to air dry them, which I did.

The first time my son wore the t-shirt my family loved it! He was able to wear the long sleeve shirt to a community event and we received many compliments for it. People were able to ask questions about his dairy allergy and understand it better. I felt that he was safer around people who do not know about his allergy, while wearing his Dairy Allergy shirt.

Gluten-Free Eating Is Getting Easier—and More Delicious!

Originally Posted on Tue, 02/05/2013 - 3:39pm

The growing availability of gluten-free foods and resources about gluten-free diets is evidence that more people are taking this protein out of their diets.

Gluten is the protein found in wheat*, rye, and barley that is the culprit behind celiac disease, a genetic autoimmune disease triggered by the ingestion of gluten. In celiac sufferers, estimated to be 1% of the population, the gluten attacks and flattens the villi—the tiny hair-like projections in the small intestine that absorb nutrients from food. This in turn causes various symptoms and leads to serious health conditions if left untreated.

Symptoms of celiac may include headaches, acid reflux, digestive problems, joint pain, skin lesions or eczema, and constant fatigue. Malabsorption of food can lead to weight loss, anemia, and assorted autoimmune disorders (Celiac Disease Foundation, http://www.celiac.org). It is important to get a professional diagnosis from a gastroenterologist if you suspect celiac.

For people with celiac, it is imperative that they avoid even trace amounts of gluten in order to manage their disease and heal from its effects. When dining out, it is not enough that a restaurant offers gluten-free dishes; those meals must be prepared with separate utensils and cookware to avoid cross-contamination with foods that contain gluten.

Other people are opting to avoid gluten for a variety of other reasons: a gluten sensitivity that upsets their stomachs or makes them feel fatigued; an allergy to wheat, rye, or barley; and other health conditions/diseases that could be aggravated by gluten or are related in some way to celiac.

Lucky for all of these people that there are many gluten-free alternatives, if you know what to look for or cook with.

Gluten-free whole grains (and flours) include amaranth, buckwheat, corn, millet, certified gluten-free oats (if you can tolerate them), quinoa, rice, sorghum, and wild rice. Gluten-free flours can also be made out of dried beans and nuts. Whole shelves and freezer cases in supermarkets are now devoted to a wide range of gluten-free cereals, breads, flours, pizzas, dough, cookies, and snacks. There are countless numbers of cookbooks and websites devoted to gluten-free cooking and baking with thousands of recipes for gluten-free dishes. Blend a little research with some dietary flexibility, add a good portion of adventure, and you can be cooking and baking delicious gluten-free meals for you and your family!
