for groceries than those without food allergies. This is because allergy-friendly foods are often classified as specialty items and may cost more than similar foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is, there is an increasing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prnewswire.com\/news-releases\/allergen-free-food-market-expected-to-reach-108-billion-by-the-end-of-2030-301383609.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><strong>availability of allergy-friendly foods<\/strong><\/a> as the market grows to serve this population with special dietary needs. But shopping for allergen-free food has always been more expensive than shopping for food in general. Inflation can raise the price of food. And <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neocate.com\/living-with-food-allergies-blog\/average-yearly-cost-food-allergies-cost-saving-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><strong>buying special food<\/strong><\/a> for a child with food allergies can cost 30% more than non-allergic foods. With a higher price tag, allergen-friendly foods may be too costly for many households already struggling to afford the cost of groceries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what can you do? The truth is, <a href=\"https:\/\/shmallergy.wordpress.com\/2022\/09\/09\/food-allergies-on-a-budget\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><strong>finding and paying for allergen-free foods<\/strong><\/a> is spotty at best throughout the United States.

Depending on the allergen, this can lead to a nutritional deficiency. Signs of a nutritional deficiency include frequent illnesses, low energy, weight loss or poor weight gain or growth in children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What can you do to ensure a nutritious diet while avoiding your food allergen? Be sure to eat a nutrient-rich diet that includes fruits, vegetables, meat and seafood, grains (excluding wheat) and legumes (excluding peanuts).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meat and seafood can be expensive. Consider replacements for meat and seafood that can add protein to your family\u2019s diet without the high cost of animal protein. A plant-based diet that includes leafy greens can serve as an excellent source for calcium and protein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consult with a nutritionist to develop a nutritious meal plan for you and your family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Buy allergen-safe foods in bulk<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Buying in bulk can help you save long-term but don\u2019t let it break your budget.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image1536_f26eee-35 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image1536_f26eee-35\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/allergyasthmanetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/community-garden.jpg\" alt=\"large community garden with raised beds filled with vegetable plants.\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-1336\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/allergyasthmanetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/community-garden.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/allergyasthmanetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/community-garden-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/allergyasthmanetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/community-garden-1080x567.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/allergyasthmanetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/community-garden-768x403.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get involved in a community garden<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Is there a community garden in your area?
