41| Can Food Allergy Kids Have A Normal Life?
Hey Food Allergy Mama,
If you’ve ever found yourself wondering, Can my food allergy kid really live a normal, well-balanced life? then you’re in the right place.
This is one of those questions that hits hard, right? I mean, it’s something we food allergy moms think about all the time—especially at diagnosis.
I still remember that moment so clearly. My mind was spinning with thoughts like, ‘Wait, does this mean no birthday cake? No cookie decorating at Christmas? No pizza at sleepovers?’ It felt like a tidal wave of emotions because until you’re in the thick of it, you don’t realize just how deeply food is woven into every part of our kids’ lives. It’s at every event, every celebration, every little moment.
That was 17 years ago, but I’ve revisited that question again and again. And if you’re anything like me, you probably have too. So today, I’m sharing my personal stories, my real-life reflections, and the life lessons I’ve learned along the way.
Whether you're brand new to the food allergy journey or have been navigating it for a while, this episode is packed with insights that’ll make you feel seen, heard, and hopefully a little more empowered. So grab your favorite drink, settle in, and let's get to it.
I'm cheering for you!
