Let When Your Child Has Food Allergies be your guide to keeping your child safe-and your sanity intact.
All the answers parents need. Keeping kids safe takes vigilance, but when your child has food allergies, the challenge is greater and you worry that much more. As a food-allergy mom (and someone seriously allergic herself), author Mireille Schwartz has been through it all. Now, in this clear, reassuring guide, she helps you get a handle on food allergies, establish new routines, and restore peace to family life.
In this invaluable guide, you'll learn to:
Spot the signs and symptoms of an allergic reaction
Navigate testing and diagnosis
Decipher ingredient labels, keeping an eye out for "hidden" allergens
Allergy-proof your whole home-not just the kitchen
Create an emergency kit and an allergy action plan
Make school a safe and enjoyable environment
Find lunchbox substitutions your kid will like
Deal with restaurants, playdates, birthday parties, holidays, and other group celebrations
Plan for safe travels- from summer camp to family getaways
From protecting your child to teaching them to take care of themselves, When Your Child Has Food Allergies covers it all so your life can get back to normal.
