For families affected by food allergies, every school drop-off is laced with anxiety: Will today be the day my child goes into anaphylactic shock without me there to protect them? In this episode, we’re joined by Susan Goldberg, whose daughter Julia suffers from life-threatening food allergies, as well as Dr. Brian Vickery, Children’s Chief of Allergy and Immunology and leader of our Food Allergy Program. Susan shares her experience of living in fear of a single bite of a well-intended snack, and Dr. Vickery discusses exciting developments in the world of oral immunotherapy. Later on, we hear from Katherine Shary, a dietitian from our Strong4Life team, who offers tips for packing snacks and lunches when nuts aren’t an option.
