I was diagnosed with allergies to dairy, wheat, peanuts, and some other foods as a child. The pediatrician told my mother I outgrew them after a few years, but I didn't! Instead, the symptoms changed over time, and some of them became worse.

Now, as an adult, I've had to limit my diet quite a bit while I receive treatment. I've known the frustration of walking down the aisles of a grocery store, in tears because I was unable to find a single packaged food that didn't contain soy!

I'll help you answer questions like:

• What do I eat NOW?
• I don't cook — what do I do?
• Is there a diet that helps people like me?
• Can I really keep breastfeeding when my baby seems to react to everything I eat?
• How can I know school will be safe for my allergic child?
• What options do I have for feeding my pet?

So browse these pages — I want you to find answers! I'm not an expert, and definitely not a replacement for professional medical advice. But check out my sources, read the stories, find a good doctor. Use what you need and leave the rest. I'd love to hear from you if you have questions or suggestions. Enjoy reading!
