Dear Food Allergy Mama,
Today we’re giving you a food allergy resource for real life. I saw this juicy internet question and wanted to weigh in…
My daughters ages 1 & 6 have allergies to nuts and peanuts. My brother is getting married and both he and the bride are Vegans. Vegan foods often have nuts in them and sure enough, they’ve shared the adult menu with me and it contains just about every nut you could think of!
They said they’ve spoken to the caterers and they can plan the kid's menu around my girl’s allergies.
I would like them to go further and put a sign by the food saying “Some guests have nut allergies so please use hand sanitizer after eating”, however, my brother and his bride have refused to do this.
I feel like my kid’s allergens will be everywhere, and that they’re in danger. I wish my brother would change the menu.
Am I being irrational? Should I expect them to change the menu to accommodate my kid's food allergies? Is there anything I could do differently?
Ok, friends, judging by the internet comments that this question received, this is a DOOZY.
Today, I want to dive deeper and see if we can not only bust a big food allergy myth but also give you 3 steps for calmly deciding if events are right for your family without being fear-based.
I hope this blesses you!
Corinna
