When it comes to parenting a kiddo with food allergy, remembering that epi is only one of the many challenges faced by parents. Other very real challenges were recently divided into three themes:

  • Anxiety 
  • The need for resources
  • Living with food allergy is a journey

Join my co-host Pam and me in this first episode of the series on Food Allergy and Parenting. We will discuss the article "Parents of Children with Food Allergy," which was published recently in the Annals of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology.

In reading this article, both my co-host Pam (who is a food allergy mom) and I (a mom and an allergist) nodded our heads the whole read. This article and the themes the authors identified are spot on.
