Spread the Word About Food Allergies

Today is the beginning of Food Allergy Awareness week. As someone who has both celiac disease and a shellfish allergy, I think it is important to assume others don't know much as you know about your personal allergies. It is important to educate others and this is a great week to start!

I love these posters from FARE that are created for those who play a supportive role in managing your food allergies. Please share them with your family, friends, and employers. To see all of the Food Allergy Awareness Week posters, visit www.foodallergy.org

Food Allergy Bullying Video

I definitely remember kids mocking my "weird" food back in middle school but luckily I was never outright bullied because of my Celiac Disease. This video was really powerful and made me realize how serious bullying is for people in communities like ours. Have you ever experienced food-related bullying?

One Grain More

I love a good laugh and this lighthearted video made me giggle. To the tune of "One Day More" from Les Miserables, this "food allergy parody that will knock your hypoallergenic socks off!"
