How to Live with Special Dietary Needs

April 22, 2015 Off By Lisa

I’m a travelling expert today.

What do you do when your child has a food allergy or sensitivity? When they react adversely to food ingredients?

You figure out how to avoid them. And doing that is actually pretty simple.

Our Zilla can not consume artificial food dyes. Well, she can, but the results are not pretty. We have spent a lot of time learning how to find foods that don’t use these dyes and it’s been a fascinating ride.

It does take time and effort. You have to do your research. But the results are worth it and then it just becomes a way of life.

Today I am helping my friend Ivy Walker with her A to Z challenge. Join us over at Uncharted to talk about Special Dietary Needs.

    It’s very challenging to live with food allergies. I have them and two of my kids are allergic to many foods. Yes, I agree research needs to be done all the time. I research and read labels constantly.

      It’s really the only way to go, Kat! And there are more people out there with food allergies and sensitivites than we realize. Awareness and education are important – the more people know about them, and the more people are aware if someone around them has one, the more we can protect the people with the issues. And teaching our kids to read labels and speak up for help? That’s major. Thanks for coming over!
