Living with food allergies is a challenge — it's like navigating a minefield every time you eat something you didn't make yourself or watch being made. But, as one of the interviewees says, “you can't live your life in total fear.” You find out how much of what your body reacts to, learn to recognize the symptoms early, do what you can to avoid the triggers, keep medication on hand for emergencies, have a plan for what to do if something happens, and make sure those around you know what to do…and then you go out and live your life as best as you can within those parameters.
