Updated in 2023 to include the best posts for food allergy moms about navigating school with food allergies, food allergy travel, dining out, and all things food allergy lifestyle from a 16-year experienced food allergy mama.
The Ten Best Food Allergy Mom Blogs in 2023
I’ve written so many blog posts over 6 years as a Food Allergy Coach. With each blog, I draw on my 16 years of experience as a food allergy mom and offer practical solutions for the biggest food allergy worries including:
food allergies at school (including daycare and preschool)
traveling with food allergies,
dining out safely,
navigating playdates,
getting over the fear of trying new foods
food allergy mom life,
and so much more!
I know the life of a food allergy mom is super busy and you likely don’t have time to read every single blog post I write. So I thought I would give you a list of some of the highlights of the all-time BEST blogs I’ve written based on website analytics plus a few that shouldn’t missed because they are the most asked-about topics.
I highly recommend you take a look at ALL the posts on the blog at friendlypantry.com. You’ll likely find another post that’s exactly what you need at this moment (even if it’s not listed here).
As a side note, here’s one of my most popular, all-time blog posts: What I Wish People Knew About Food Allergy Moms. It’s one of the most popular year after year.
**Special Note - As they say, “sharing is caring”. If you like any of these posts, please share them with other food allergy moms and food allergy families! It helps them with difficult lifestyle issues and helps me so I can continue to create content that matters to you!
Shares on Facebook, Instagram (tag me @friendlypantry), and pins on Pinterest are all VERY much appreciated.
Just so you know, it’s important to me that I use scientific, evidence-based information as well as practical knowledge I’ve tested from 16 years as a food allergy mom for all my blog posts.
I won’t steer you wrong!
Using trusted information as a baseline, I then use my 16 years of practical experience to create proven lifestyle solutions for food allergy moms.
For example, I have a series of low-cost workshops that specifically help with some of the most common food allergy struggles like the fear of trying new foods, navigating school, getting others to take food allergies seriously, traveling, dining out, and feeling confident with the epinephrine.
