42| What It's Like Not To Worry About Cross Contact & May Contain Allergen Labeling
Manage episode 450612390 series 3552495
Hey Food Allergy Mama,
I know many of you might be struggling with cross-contact and not only avoid foods that contain your allergen, BUT also foods that say “may contain traces of allergen”.
Also, some of you might be considering some sort of food allergy treatment like Xolair, OIT, or TIP, and one of the benefits of these treatments is that you don’t have to worry about small traces of your allergen.
Yes, navigating cross-contact can feel like playing food roulette with our kids' safety. But what if you didn’t have to live in fear of traces of allergen and every ‘may contain’ label?
What would that REALLY LOOK LIKE in everyday life?
I thought you might want to know what it’s like not to have to worry about cross-contact and may contain allergen labeling because that may help you decide if treatment is right for your family.
We started doing OIT about 7 years ago. About a year and a half ago, we got to the point where we didn’t have to worry about “may contain traces of peanuts and tree nuts” anymore.
Our whole world flipped upside down, in a good way!
Even so, some fears have been hard to overcome, and surprisingly, some things changed less than I thought they would.
So if you’re wondering what it looks like to be “in-between” where you can have traces of allergen, but no more than that, this episode is for you!
So grab your favorite drink, settle in, and let's get to it. I'm cheering for you!
