Receiving a food allergy diagnosis for your child can feel like the world has suddenly shifted beneath your feet. What was once a simple trip to the grocery store now involves scrutinizing labels, and family gatherings transform into potential hazard zones. But here's the truth: with the right plans in place, you can navigate this journey with confidence rather than fear.
In this heartfelt episode, Dr. Alice Hoyt welcomes back co-host Pam Lestage to share five essential plans every mother new to food allergies needs. Drawing from both medical expertise and lived experience as food allergy moms, they offer a framework that puts you into the driver's seat of your child's food allergies.
