“Guess how I spent my Mother’s Day?” read the text Sue received from girlfriend Brooke.

Newly Diagnosed Food Allergies | Food Allergy PodcastBefore looking at the picture, Sue immediately knew that it was the emergency room. Brooke’s preschooler John was recently diagnosed with allergies to several nuts.

It’s all a little ironic.

It is ironic because the two girlfriends recorded an episode weeks ago and talked about the fears related to having a newly diagnosed child. One of Brooke’s concerns was strangely foreboding. She said, ” I am almost 100 percent sure that there is going to come a time when have to use that EpiPen and go to the emergency room.”

After several long phone conversations between the friends centered on the overwhelming feelings of being engulfed by a new food allergy diagnosis, Sue decided that the conversations she was having with Brooke were at the heart of what all new allergy parents crave. That is, gaining control over this overwhelming beast called parenting a food allergy child. So the ladies sat down weeks ago and addressed the top concerns that Brooke was experiencing.

  • Overwhelmed feelings
  • Getting up to speed on food allergy knowledge
  • Family/friends not taking food allergies seriously
