I’m a mom who has been on a decade’s long journey to find healing for my family. I and both my children have food issues; our dietary restrictions could challenge a Mensa member.

Seems I’m not alone.

Colette Martin is also a mom who began the allergy journey in support of her son. He was diagnosed with eosinophilic esophagitis; his condition is triggered by wheat, milk, eggs, soy and peanuts – some of the most common food allergens. Having such a list of allergies in combination makes avoiding your allergens a real challenge. (Given my recent experience with the low oxalate diet in combination with the need to be gluten-free, I can totally relate.) Her site recounts her journey thus far, including products she likes and recipe substitutions that she uses.

With multiple allergies, the issue becomes complexity. Multiple allergies also ensure that the fast and easy convenience food that often helps make modern living a bit easier is off the table – literally.

Another site that I like for those of us with multiple allergies is Allergy Foodie. Anu Rao writes about her journey with her son, who was also diagnosed with multiple food allergies. Her son is allergic to all 8 common food allergens! Her passion for good food that is fun means that her blog is full of discussions of ingredients, allergy free eating and good nutrition. (This is a woman after my own heart!)

As we prove here at BeAllergyWise – you can thrive and live well, even with allergies!
