Food Allergies

My eldest son has food allergies and has dealt with them almost his entire life.  Since the time he started leaving our house to go to preschool, he has worn a Medic Alert sports band (cool for boys).


We always felt that it was important for him to be able to be independent while dealing with a life threatening condition.  Some things that have helped us feel more comfortable:  teaching him the “no label, no thank you” rule, purchasing a Medic Alert tag, and most of all educating our family, friends, and teachers.


Note:  I was not compensated by Medic Alert to write this post.  I have food allergies too, but it’s more “fun” to find cool things for my kid!  If they could come up with a good way for boys to carry their own epi-pens that would be sweet too!  The man-purse is really not a good option for boys! 🙂
