Food Allergies
My daughter was diagnosed with life-threatening food allergies to milk, eggs, peanuts and soy when she turned one year old. She’s outgrown the soy, but we recently added tree nuts (almonds, walnuts, etc), melons and shellfish to her list of allergies. Caring for a child with food allergies can be scary, but I’ve learned that with education, support and partnership, it is entirely manageable.
I’ve written a lot about our food allergy journey here and am so happy that my experience has helped other families facing the same challenges. If you are new to food allergies, or simply curious about our experiences, feel free to read through my posts on the topic. As always, if you need additional information or support, please contact me. You can also find me on Facebook and Twitter.
