Understanding and Learning to Live Well with Food Allergies

Considering that severe allergic reactions can be life–threatening, parents often find that protecting children can be a daunting task–trying to make sure they are safe, while still creating a sense of normalcy as they grow up.

But it can be done. Sorting the truth from the myths and misunderstandings, Caring for Your Child with Severe Food Allergies presents not only pertinent facts but, more important, it helps families cope with the emotional aspects of raising a child at risk for severe food reactions.
