Child Food Allergy Support

You've just been told your child has an allergy to a food or several foods. Looking back, it seems obvious: your little one had red blotches or eczema, and spit-up a little more than normal, maybe even vomited after feedings.

That was our experience. After our son broke out in hives from cow's milk, we learned he was allergic to cow's milk, by touch and ingestion, as well as eggs, peanuts, tree nuts and sesame. Then our second child was diagnosed with a soy allergy that lasted six months.

So now what? You certainly weren't prepared for such a lifestyle change. Depending on the allergy, there may be no more pizza, ice cream, or peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Holidays and birthday parties become even more challenging, because now you have to make sure others are aware of your child's food requirements. At some point, you'll probably have to confront a family member or neighbor who doesn't think your child's food allergy is serious and ignores your request.

You may find yourself overwhelmed when thinking about all you need to do to keep your child safe: clear out the kitchen of allergens, read every food label, make sure EpiPens® are with you at all times - and shared with friends, family, childcare providers, schools, etc.

Through A Gift of Miles, I can help. I've been through the same awful feelings of anxiety, worry, anger and exhaustion. I can help you come to accept your new reality, navigate the obstacles, and learn to manage the stress of your child's food allergy so that you not only provide a safe environment for your child, but a happy environment for your entire family.

To talk about where you're at and how I can help, contact me at kristin@agiftofmiles.com or 612.845.7585.
