The Itch: Allergies, Asthma, Eczema & Immunology

Using inclusive language for food allergies

A mini popup episode for you!

MILK versus MYLK, what's the deal?
Amanda from the blog Everyday Allergen-Free joined Kortney to explore what spelling milk with an 'I' versus milk with a 'Y' means and how it can impact someone’s experience with that food.
 
This lead to a discussion about feeling left out when you have food allergies and whether getting an allergy-safe version of a classic food makes you feel included or different.
What we cover:
  • Inclusive language for those with food allergies.
  • When did the alternative spelling of MYLK show up? 
  • How does speaking milk with a y help or hinder those with a dairy allergy?
  • Feeling left out/longing for what you can’t have, especially when you have food allergens in the house.
  • Does an allergy-safe version of a food make you feel included or different?
  • What terms can you use to talk about allergy-safe food replacements. 
  • The attitude to have when trying to recreate foods that contain an allergen.
  • What does the ‘real’ version of a recipe mean for an allergy person?
  • The different trends in plant based milk.
