1: Food Allergy: A Real World Perspective on What they are and what its like to live with them
A conversation with mom, wife and advocate who is helping others live with food allergies
If you don’t have a food allergy, you might feel imposed upon for a meal, an hour, a day a few days, preparing a meal for your guest, employee or family member. Those with food allergies don't get weekends. Don't get nights off. Food allergies don't go on vacation. “This is life.” And so it makes living day to day very different having to manage the condition.
Erin Malawer, Executive Director of AllergyStrong, CEO of Allergy Health, and founder of the blog Allergy Shmallergy talks about how she does it all the time, no matter where her family is, no matter where they go and how she is helping other individuals and families like hers, as well as the medical community, understand how their patients live with the diagnosis.
