Tips for living with a Food Allergy
|
- Always carry at least two Epipens with you at all times. You never know where or when a reaction may occur.
- You also should carry two Epipens because one may be defective or you may need to give a second shot before an ambulance arrives.
- Grocery Shopping will take extra time because each food ingredient statement MUST be read. Read labels on all food products you purchase even if you have bought the item before. Manufactures can change ingredients with no warning.
- If you can not read the label and don't know what may be in the food, caution on the safe side and don't eat it.
- Read labels on cosmetics and bath products (soaps, lotions, etc.) as these items may contain common allergens such as milk, egg, wheat, nuts.
