Lets take a time out and reviw some very important allergy tips to help continue a happy, safe allergy free world life style.
1. Always be aware of your food allergies.
2. Please remember to always read ingredients even if you're use to buying a certain product. Ingredients in a product can change overnight, so don't assume it has your allergy free ingredients.
READ THE INGREDIENTS!
3. Try your best to avoid cross contamination. In our allergy free world, the slighest contamination could cause an allergic reaction.
4. If your are in doubt about an ingredient in a certain product, ask questions. You can always call the company, it is worth the phone call!
5. Have a plan when traveling with someone with food allergies. It's okay to call a restaurant ahead of time and ask about the ingredients. Tell your concern about food allergies. (Tip: I mainly travel with different varieties of food, that way I know it is completely safe.
6. If your child is in school, teach him/her to only eat what is sent with them, to not accept food from a friend. Tell the friend in a polite way 'I have food allergies' sometimes that friend starts wanting your food. ;)
7. Practice keeping healthy snacks, they're good and good for you!
8. Last but not least, if your doctor has prescribed an epipen, learn all about it, know how to use it, Do Not Travel Without It!
