If you have been diagnosed with a food allergy, it is important to come up with a plan to manage it. The best option is to avoid the food you are allergic to. Even a trace amount of a problem food can cause a serious reaction. Learn how to find your problem foods in both obvious and unexpected places.
Read every label, every time. Ingredients in packaged foods may change without warning. Check ingredient statements every time you shop. Even the same product from the same company can have different warning labels. If you have questions, call the manufacturer.
Never take a chance by trying just a bite of a food that may contain your allergen. Even a tiny amount can put your life at risk.
