When and how should children begin taking responsibility? Self-care begins from the moment of diagnosis and is learned in small steps throughout childhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Infancy\/toddler (0-3 years):<\/strong> Parents\/caregivers provide all care. This includes recognizing symptoms and giving medications. Self-care skill for children: learn to cooperate with parents\/caregivers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Preschool age (3-5 years): <\/strong>Parents continue to provide care. They help the child to learn about his or her body and daily routines (such as carrying medications). Self-care skill for children: tell parents or responsible adults when an allergic reaction occurs. Follow their instructions for treatment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Early elementary school (6-7 years):<\/strong> Parents and adult caregivers (e.g., teachers) help the child navigate separation from parents. Self-care skill: learn to trust, communicate and cooperate with other caregivers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Upper elementary school (8-11 years):<\/strong> As the child focuses on peers and establishing friendships, parents clarify responsibilities outside the home. This may include following safety rules and social etiquette. Self-care skill: recognize symptoms and independently request or use emergency medication.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Middle school (12-14 years): <\/strong>Parents provide framework for increased independence and learning life skills. They discuss strategies for more complex tasks. Self-care skill: develop medication routine with parent supervision.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Teens (15-17 years):<\/strong> Parents assist in making choices about how to avoid exposures and manage symptoms. Self-care skill: take responsibility for medications (overseen by parents). Take the lead in managing symptoms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Older teens and young adults (18-21 years):<\/strong> Parents provide support as their teen or young adult takes on complete self-care. This can happen at college or in the workplace. Parents remain available for guidance or reinforcement. Self-care skill: demonstrate the ability to manage daily care, medication supply and doctor appointments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image1457_249638-d6.kb-image-is-ratio-size, .kb-image1457_249638-d6 .kb-image-is-ratio-size{max-width:600px;width:100%;}.wp-block-kadence-column > .kt-inside-inner-col > .kb-image1457_249638-d6.kb-image-is-ratio-size, .wp-block-kadence-column > .kt-inside-inner-col > .kb-image1457_249638-d6 .kb-image-is-ratio-size{align-self:unset;}.kb-image1457_249638-d6 figure{max-width:600px;}.kb-image1457_249638-d6 .image-is-svg, .kb-image1457_249638-d6 .image-is-svg img{width:100%;}.kb-image1457_249638-d6 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image1457_249638-d6\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/allergyasthmanetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/food-allergy-handouts-AAAAI.png\" alt=\"A set of educational pamphlets titled &quot;Food Allergy Basics for All Ages,&quot; featuring images of people interacting, infants eating, and children playing.

Understanding the basics can help you identify foods that you can safely eat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We do have laws on our side to assist us in the United States. The most important is the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA). This law is designed to make it easier for people with food allergies to identify allergens in packaged food products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does FALCPA help me read labels for food allergies?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>FALCPA mandates that labels of food packages containing one of the \u201cTop 9 food allergens\u201d list the allergen in clear language. It should be listed either in the ingredients or in a \u201cContains\u201d statement placed immediately after or next to the ingredients, or within the list of ingredients. Be sure to look in both places on the ingredient label.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The top 9 food allergens are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>cow\u2019s milk<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>egg<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>peanut<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>tree nut<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>soy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>wheat<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>fin fish<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>shellfish<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>sesame<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The law also applies to any food flavoring, spice, coloring or processing aid that contains these allergens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The law does not apply to meat or poultry, certain whole egg products governed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and gluten-containing grains other than wheat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Molluscan shellfish, such as clams, oysters, mussels and scallops, are not considered a major food allergen under the labeling laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Food manufacturers are not required to list highly refined peanut, tree nut or soy oils. The processing separates the allergen protein from the oil. Highly refined oils are considered safe. Cold-pressed oils may contain the food allergen in them and need to be avoided to those allergic to those foods. If unsure if a product is highly refined or cold-pressed, it\u2019s safer to avoid consuming the food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-theme-palette-1-background-color has-background\" style=\"border-radius:20px\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-kb-palette-6-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-086cd6cddca6e7f1b7c235c89819ac52\">Hide &amp;

But if you have a food allergy, it requires advance planning. It also requires special attention at the restaurant to make sure the food you order is safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To plan for a safe meal at a restaurant:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Call the restaurant ahead of time or check menus online before eating out. Sometimes restaurants will offer an \u201callergy-friendly menu.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Communicate with the restaurant staff about your food allergies. A chef card that lists your food allergies can be helpful. Ask that it be given to the chef or kitchen staff.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Read menus closely and don\u2019t order foods likely to cause an allergic reaction. Ask about ingredients.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Carry\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/allergyasthmanetwork.org\/anaphylaxis\/what-is-epinephrine\/\"><strong>epinephrine<\/strong><\/a> with you to treat anaphylaxis if it should occur.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Establish an open dialogue with everyone \u2013 the manager, host, servers and even the chef. Work with them to ensure you receive a safe meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The more you talk with the restaurant staff, the more you develop an intuition whether the restaurant is a safe place to dine. For example, if the restaurant staff is confusing food allergies with gluten-free foods, that\u2019s a red flag. You may not want to eat there.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/store.allergyasthmanetwork.org\/posters\/latex-allergy-beyond-the-gloves-11-x-17\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"510\" height=\"616\" src=\"https:\/\/allergyasthmanetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/chef-card.jpg\" alt=\"Food Allergy Alert card requesting chefs to be informed about the diner&#039;s food allergies.

Choose meals with simple ingredients that are familiar to you. You can also consider some of the safe suggestions the host, server or chef recommends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many restaurants and quick-service eateries now list allergens on their menus. They post food allergy awareness information in the kitchen area. Some states like Massachusetts have laws that require these protocols. Cruise ships will cater to food allergies if you notify the cruise line when you book the trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><mark><strong>The bottom line is this: if you don\u2019t feel comfortable, or you don\u2019t feel the restaurant staff fully understands your food allergy could be life-threatening, then the best choice is not to eat there.<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Ask the Allergist: Eating Out With Food Allergies\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9zZFHTFfzIo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column1457_2d11f7-c6 > .kt-inside-inner-col{padding-top:54px;padding-bottom:34px;}.kadence-column1457_2d11f7-c6 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column1457_2d11f7-c6 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column1457_2d11f7-c6 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column1457_2d11f7-c6 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column1457_2d11f7-c6 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column1457_2d11f7-c6 > .kt-inside-inner-col{background-color:#f8f7f3;}.kadence-column1457_2d11f7-c6 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column1457_2d11f7-c6{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column1457_2d11f7-c6 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column1457_2d11f7-c6 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column1457_2d11f7-c6\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><style>.kadence-column1457_7317df-f2{max-width:800px;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;}.wp-block-kadence-column.kb-section-dir-horizontal:not(.kb-section-md-dir-vertical)>.kt-inside-inner-col>.kadence-column1457_7317df-f2{-webkit-flex:0 1 800px;flex:0 1 800px;max-width:unset;margin-left:unset;margin-right:unset;}.kadence-column1457_7317df-f2 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column1457_7317df-f2 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column1457_7317df-f2 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column1457_7317df-f2 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column1457_7317df-f2 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column1457_7317df-f2 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column1457_7317df-f2{position:relative;}@media all and (min-width: 1025px){.wp-block-kadence-column.kb-section-dir-horizontal>.kt-inside-inner-col>.kadence-column1457_7317df-f2{-webkit-flex:0 1 800px;flex:0 1 800px;max-width:unset;margin-left:unset;margin-right:unset;}}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column1457_7317df-f2 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.wp-block-kadence-column.kb-section-sm-dir-vertical:not(.kb-section-sm-dir-horizontal):not(.kb-section-sm-dir-specificity)>.kt-inside-inner-col>.kadence-column1457_7317df-f2{max-width:800px;-webkit-flex:1;flex:1;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;}.kadence-column1457_7317df-f2 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column1457_7317df-f2\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is it safe to kiss with food allergies?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An allergic reaction can occur from a kiss due to a food allergen in your partner\u2019s saliva. Studies show saliva can hold an allergen for four hours, even after the food has been absorbed by the body. The risk of a severe reaction is very small, however.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your partner has eaten one of your food allergens, it\u2019s best to hold off on that smooch. While it may not be romantic, ask your partner to brush his or her teeth and tongue, and rinse out the mouth, before kissing. Allergens can remain in the mouth for hours after the food is eaten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I trust a babysitter if my child has food allergies?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Trusting a babysitter, family member or even other parents to safely care for your food-allergic child can be nerve-racking. But you can\u2019t stay home with your child 24\/7. So you have to find people you can trust who will be willing to learn how to manage your child\u2019s food allergy and know what to do in an emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have extended family, they are a comfortable starting place for trusting others to care for your child. If family is not close by, choose a close friend or someone you really trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyone that you entrust should understand your child\u2019s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/allergyasthmanetwork.org\/images\/Anaphylaxis\/AAP-anaphylaxis-action-Plan.pdf\"><strong>Allergy &amp; Anaphylaxis Emergency Plan<\/strong><\/a>. They should know what symptoms to look for in a severe allergic reaction. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allergyhome.org\/food-allergy-drop-off-and-baby-sitter-form\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><strong>Leave specific instructions<\/strong><\/a> and go over them with your sitter before leaving your child in their care. Show them how to administer epinephrine if there\u2019s an accidental exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Set clear expectations for food and planning around mealtimes. Decide ahead of time if your child is allowed to eat while you are gone. Pick out certain safe snacks they can have while you are out. Be clear with the babysitter that no food that hasn\u2019t been pre-approved by you is allowed to be consumed. Also make it clear that the babysitter shouldn\u2019t handle or consume food that contain the child\u2019s allergens while babysitting due to the cross contact risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is it safe to have playdates if my child has food allergies?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Is your child old enough to start having playdates with friends at other homes? There are a few steps to take in order to ensure a fun and safe afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, talk with the friend\u2019s parents about your child\u2019s food allergy. Show them your child\u2019s emergency plan. Explain the signs and symptoms of a severe allergic reaction and how to administer epinephrine if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes other parents do not take food allergies seriously. If that\u2019s the case, consider hosting the playdate at your home or at the park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pack a safe snack for your child and the same snack for the friend to eat together during their playdate. Make it clear that no other snacks are allowed and that any other food must be pre-approved by you. Also review cross contact risks so your child is not inadvertently exposed to an allergen while at someone else\u2019s home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Can I drink coffee if I have food allergies?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are a coffee drinker and you have food allergies, that simple cup of joe can be complicated to navigate, whether you\u2019re at home or your local caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When at home, make coffee that is 100% Arabica beans. Check the package to make sure there are no added ingredients or flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you have a coffee machine (such as a Keurig) that uses pre-made pods? There is a risk of cross-contact from other pods previously used on the machine. For example, a hazelnut coffee pod may leave residue in the filter. Clean out the coffee machine prior to use. Check to make sure no one else is using coffee pods that have your allergen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most caf\u00e9s now use multiple milk options along with flavors and syrups. As cafes use more milk alternatives, there is a cross contact risk for those with almond (nut), soy, rice, wheat and coconut allergies. There is also a risk of cross contact from surfaces, spoons, heating wands, pitchers and stirrers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When ordering coffee, first look at the menu.

Safe travel starts with sound planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Schedule a checkup with your primary care physician or allergist prior to a trip. Ask about steps you can take to avoid food allergy symptoms while traveling. Check to see if your epinephrine device is expired or needs to be refilled. Pack important healthcare documents, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Allergy and Anaphylaxis Emergency Plan<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>health insurance information<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>your doctor\u2019s telephone number<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Plan your travel meals and snacks ahead of time, and pack extra food in case of delays. Try to stay at hotels with a kitchen and a refrigerator to store safe snacks and meals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find out where hospitals and pharmacies are located at your travel destination. This way you are prepared if there\u2019s an allergy emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Airline travel with food allergies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dreaming of a vacation in a faraway land? Airplane travel is likely your best mode of transportation to get there. But traveling by air can present challenges for people with severe food allergies. The prospect of an in-flight emergency can be a serious concern. Nearly 2 percent of in-flight medical emergencies are allergy-related.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Call the airline ahead of time or visit its website to find out policies for in-flight meals and snacks. Information on airline websites can usually be found under \u201cSpecial Travel Needs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many airlines no longer serve in-flight free bags of peanuts or tree nuts during flights. However, some snacks and meals may contain traces of nuts. And other passengers can bring them on board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People with peanut or tree nut allergies should take the following steps before a flight:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Inform the flight crew of your allergy. If you plan to buy an in-flight meal, request an allergen-free meal. However, avoiding airline food may be the safest option.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wipe down seats and tray tables when arriving at your seat. This can help remove any nut residue.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid using airline pillows or blankets. Consider bringing something to cover your seat, since debris can sometimes be left behind from previous passengers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Request a buffer zone in which no peanut or tree nut product is sold or served.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bring your own allergy-safe meal and avoid eating the airline food.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Carry your prescribed epinephrine with you onboard. Make sure it is easily accessible during the flight.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Some airlines will allow travelers to pre-board to clean seating areas. When requesting this, print out the airline\u2019s food allergy policy or the information you receive from customer service. Then present it at the gate and to the flight crew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Food allergies at amusement parks and theme parks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many amusement parks and theme parks have guidelines regarding bringing in outside food and dining options. So plan ahead for your meals when at the park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Look online for the food allergy policies of the amusement park or theme park you want to visit. If you\u2019re allowed to bring an outside snack or meal inside the park, check to see if you need clearance or documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most restaurants and quick-service eateries at amusement or theme parks will accommodate people with food allergies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check to see if First Aid stations inside the parks have epinephrine on hand. Ask if paramedics or nurses are trained in administering them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips for going on a cruise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Buffets are common on cruises. Cross-contact with your allergens can cause an allergic reaction. Allergens can also accidentally get into your food via shared pots and pans, cooking oil and utensils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eat in ship restaurants that will cook and serve individual meals instead of buffets. Before you order, talk with the server and ask to speak with the chef. Inform them of your food allergies and cross-contact concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out restaurant menus for the next day and alert the staff of any concerns. Land excursions require your full attention. If you\u2019re uncertain about eating at a restaurant on shore, pack your own snacks or meal. And don\u2019t forget your epinephrine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Peanut allergy in public settings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>How prevalent is peanut residue in public places? In a recent study, researchers tested levels of peanut protein on table surfaces in the following places:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>restaurants, both those that offered unshelled peanuts and those that did not;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>airline tray tables during flights that served peanuts and those that did not;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>library tables;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>topping counters at frozen yogurt shops.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Frozen yogurt shops had by far the most peanut protein on their counters. However, none of the surfaces were completely free of peanut. Here is the amount of peanut protein found in each setting:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Frozen yogurt shop counter: 11,126.7 ng\/mL<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Airplane tray tables after mid-flight service with peanuts: 175.3 ng\/mL<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tables in restaurants that serve unshelled peanuts: 41.1 ng\/mL<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Airplane tray tables on flights that do not serve peanuts: 13.5 ng\/mL<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tables in restaurants that do not serve peanuts: .77 ng\/mL<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Library tables: .75 ng\/mL<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other travel tips to reduce chances of a food allergy reaction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Similar to airlines, request special accommodations for food allergies when making a bus or train reservation. Ask for these accommodations again when your board. If there\u2019s food service, request an allergen-free meal or bring one with you.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When you arrive at your bus or train seat, clean the tray table and arm rests with a sanitary wipe.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pack epinephrine in carry-on luggage. Keep it with you instead of storing it in overhead bins.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make sure your emergency epinephrine is in an easy-to-reach bag on trips.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Communicate with hosts if you\u2019re doing a home-stay (such as an AirBnB or VRBO). Ask that the house is cleaned of all food residue in the kitchen area, including the refrigerator.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you have severe food allergies, it may be best to not rent a home-stay with shared space. The risk of food allergen exposure may be too high.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column1457_a08a21-18 > .kt-inside-inner-col{padding-top:54px;padding-bottom:34px;}.kadence-column1457_a08a21-18 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column1457_a08a21-18 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column1457_a08a21-18 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column1457_a08a21-18 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column1457_a08a21-18 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column1457_a08a21-18 > .kt-inside-inner-col{background-color:#f8f7f3;}.kadence-column1457_a08a21-18 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column1457_a08a21-18{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column1457_a08a21-18 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column1457_a08a21-18 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column1457_a08a21-18\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><style>.kadence-column1457_cf4e24-ab{max-width:800px;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;}.wp-block-kadence-column.kb-section-dir-horizontal:not(.kb-section-md-dir-vertical)>.kt-inside-inner-col>.kadence-column1457_cf4e24-ab{-webkit-flex:0 1 800px;flex:0 1 800px;max-width:unset;margin-left:unset;margin-right:unset;}.kadence-column1457_cf4e24-ab > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column1457_cf4e24-ab > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column1457_cf4e24-ab > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column1457_cf4e24-ab > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column1457_cf4e24-ab > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column1457_cf4e24-ab > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column1457_cf4e24-ab{position:relative;}@media all and (min-width: 1025px){.wp-block-kadence-column.kb-section-dir-horizontal>.kt-inside-inner-col>.kadence-column1457_cf4e24-ab{-webkit-flex:0 1 800px;flex:0 1 800px;max-width:unset;margin-left:unset;margin-right:unset;}}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column1457_cf4e24-ab > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.wp-block-kadence-column.kb-section-sm-dir-vertical:not(.kb-section-sm-dir-horizontal):not(.kb-section-sm-dir-specificity)>.kt-inside-inner-col>.kadence-column1457_cf4e24-ab{max-width:800px;-webkit-flex:1;flex:1;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;}.kadence-column1457_cf4e24-ab > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column1457_cf4e24-ab\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><style>.kb-image1457_442e9f-60 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image1457_442e9f-60 size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"567\" src=\"https:\/\/allergyasthmanetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Man-with-ethnic-food-1080x567.jpg\" alt=\"Happy Muslim man around table with his family, enjoying an ethnic meal cooked without food allergens.\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-1206\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/allergyasthmanetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Man-with-ethnic-food-1080x567.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/allergyasthmanetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Man-with-ethnic-food-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/allergyasthmanetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Man-with-ethnic-food-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/allergyasthmanetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Man-with-ethnic-food.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can I safely attend gatherings and celebrate holidays with food allergies?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Birthday Party Tips from a Food Allergy Mom\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zI1buPyOAGM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether it\u2019s Easter, Passover, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Hannukah or Christmas, you can make <a href=\"\/news\/home-for-the-holidays\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>holiday celebrations and social gatherings<\/strong><\/a> safe for people with food allergies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bring up food allergies when the invitation to the get-together is offered. Ask about the menu, including ingredients. If there\u2019s no acceptable food for you or your child to eat, it may be best to bring your own meal or snacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep dishes that may contain allergens separate from allergen-free dishes. Label each dish to clearly identify it. If serving a buffet, encourage those with food allergies to serve themselves first. Have a separate serving spoon for each dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider asking everyone at the get-together to bring an allergen-safe food item. When the whole menu is allergen-safe for everyone at the table, then everyone feels included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since many holidays are often centered around food, make sure there are non-food traditions that you and your child can look forward to as part of the celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips about the most common food allergens at various holidays<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Parents should inspect their children\u2019s <a href=\"\/news\/allergy-safe-halloween-happy-haunting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Halloween candy<\/strong><\/a>. Check each label carefully. Federal law requires food labels \u2013 even mini-size candy bars \u2013 to list common allergens. If you cannot read the ingredient label, it is safest to avoid eating the candy. Remember also that snack size candies may have different ingredients than their full size counterparts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If one child in a family has food allergies and another does not, then separate out the holiday candy with allergens so there\u2019s no chance of an accidental exposure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Coloring eggs is a safe activity during <a href=\"https:\/\/allergyasthmanetwork.org\/news\/easter-food-allergy-substitutions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Easter<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 as long as the person with egg allergy does not eat the eggs. Touching the hard shell poses no threat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>During Passover, instead of placing a hard-boiled egg on a Seder plate, consider using a flower or a plastic egg.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use plastic eggs for your Easter egg hunt and fill them with toys, money or stickers instead of candy. You can also use plastic eggs instead of real ones when playing the \u201cegg in a spoon\u201d race.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Making foods that contain egg? Try these substitutes: unsweetened applesauce, apricot puree, banana or plain gelatin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>People with latex allergies may also develop allergic reactions to some fruits and vegetables.

Fear of an accidental exposure can cause a lot of anxiety. It is important that school nurses, teachers, coaches and other staff are prepared to help children stay safe at school. It\u2019s also important that children with food allergies are not excluded from activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Make arrangements to see your doctor or allergist during the summer before school starts. Update their medication forms. Be sure to fill out a <a href=\"https:\/\/allergyasthmanetwork.org\/images\/Anaphylaxis\/AAP-anaphylaxis-action-plan.pdf\"><strong>Allergy &amp; Anaphylaxis Emergency Plan<\/strong><\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check the expiration date on epinephrine that your child takes to school. Mark down the date on your calendar. Be ready to provide updated medication when needed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ask the doctor for a note for the food service department identifying your child\u2019s allergy. Also identify any needed food substitutions. For example, if your child has a milk allergy, you may want them to substitute juice or water.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make an appointment, preferably before the beginning of the school year, to visit the school. Discuss your child\u2019s food allergy with your child\u2019s teacher and school nurse, if available.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Talk about any accommodations that your child may need in the cafeteria or classroom. Drop off forms, medication and your child\u2019s Allergy &amp; Anaphylaxis Emergency Plan with the school nurse. Provide the school with written permission to call your child\u2019s pediatrician with any questions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make a plan to update the school if your child has a severe allergic reaction outside of school.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Children with food allergies are vulnerable to bullying at school and online. It could come from classmates who tease or harass them because they\u2019re \u201cdifferent.\u201d Bullying can even involve the deliberate exposure to a food allergen. It can negatively impact a child\u2019s social development and self-esteem \u2013 just as they are learning how to self-manage their food allergy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bullying may be an age-old problem, but it must be addressed if we expect children to thrive. Stopping confrontations before they start creates an environment where all children feel protected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Parents:<\/strong> get involved with children and help them talk about their feelings about school. Build their self-confidence. Role-play situations and practice assertive language that children can use to stand up for themselves. When parents are aware of bullying, the chances of a positive outcome are more likely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Schools:<\/strong> Build a healthy environment. Establish a zero tolerance policy for bullying \u2013 and enforce it. Educate all students about food allergies. When children understand why there are certain accommodations, they become more accepting and supportive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Resources for Managing

class=\"wp-block-heading\">Food allergy management support for families<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For many families, food allergy and food insecurity are of special concern. Support is necessary for good nutrition, health and safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Food insecurity is when you don\u2019t have enough food or the right kinds of food to eat. It may occur due to not having enough money. Or you may not have access to a grocery store with fresh foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People with food allergies, Celiac disease and other chronic diseases are at risk for food insecurity. This is because they may need special foods (dairy-free, gluten-free, etc.) for their diet. Sometimes it can be a challenge to find these special foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many people with food allergies tend to spend more for groceries than those without food allergies. Allergy-friendly foods are often classified as specialty items and may cost more than similar foods. They may be too costly for many households already struggling to afford the cost of groceries.

It involves uncertainty and unpredictability. It requires finding a balance between vigilance and preparedness. So, it\u2019s not a surprise that people with food allergies may feel overwhelmed. Anxiety and stress are common.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Anxiety from a food allergy diagnosis<\/strong> is different among age groups:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Young children may feel distress about safe foods to eat, especially when not around their parents.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adolescents and teens are more likely to feel general anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. They may even avoid eating.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adults may worry about eating out at restaurants. They may worry about affording epinephrine for severe food allergies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Parents and caregivers say they are often fearful for their child\u2019s safety around food.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>All age groups may experience post-traumatic stress following an anaphylaxis episode.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Anxiety is a normal human emotion. Most people consider anxiety to be a negative emotion to be avoided. But even though anxiety feels uncomfortable, it can be useful. It encourages people to plan and prepare. These are key aspects of staying safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Managing a food allergy successfully is a life skill. When we are developing a new skill, there\u2019s usually discomfort. Allergic conditions can be demanding because of their life-impacting and life-threatening nature. But at the core, we\u2019re still just building life skills like we do in other areas of our lives. You don\u2019t need to take a major leap outside of your comfort zone (unless you feel ready to). Start small and build over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When stress and anxiety start impacting day-to-day life, that\u2019s when you may need help. Talk with a board-certified allergist or your healthcare team about:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>managing food allergy on a day-to-day basis;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>understanding and learning how to evaluate risks;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>navigating food allergy anxiety;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>identifying knowledge you need but don\u2019t have;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>identifying reliable sources of food allergy information online.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Your allergist may recommend a mental health professional who can also help with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>learning how to manage food allergy anxiety;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>living with or adjusting to food allergies;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>what to do if food allergy anxiety won\u2019t go away;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>engaging in avoidance to calm anxiety and fear.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column1457_024fba-d4 >
