Food Allergies To Go started out as the culmination of our family's experiences with food allergies and is expanding as a result of other families and individuals wanting to share their experiences regarding food allergy friendly restaurants. We are a family of 4 that has been dealing with serious food allergies for 23 years. We are NOT doctors, nor food allergy experts. We are simply a family that wants to share our experiences with food allergies in the hope that it will make someone else's life easier. Since everyone's food allergy situation is unique, you need to do your own research and make your own decisions before trying any food, restaurant, hotel or technique that we mention. Your outcome may very well be different from that of someone else. Personally, before we try any new food, restaurant or hotel, we prefer to make phone calls, write e-mails and ask numerous questions. Unfortunately, not all reactions from food allergies can be prevented. From the very beginning, we've insisted that our son always carry his Epi-pen and inhaler. Our family policy is to prepare and then get out there and go! We love to travel. Fortunately, many of our travel expenses are covered with frequent flyer miles and hotel rewards points. When our two sons were younger, we traveled extensively throughout the United States in a motor home. As they reached college age, we yearned to travel outside of the U.S. As this requires airplane travel, hotel stays, and eating in food allergy friendly restaurants, we started to do research and form a plan to travel abroad. One morning I woke up in a hotel in London and decided it was wasteful not to share our experiences regarding food allergies with other families who could benefit from the food allergy friendly restaurant information we accumulated. Thus, I grabbed a piece of paper and FoodAllergiesToGo.com was born. Explore the links to the left to see where we've been and how we managed the food allergies. Please comment on the Blog regarding food allergy friendly restaurants and personal experiences with food allergies. Together, we all can influence how the restaurant industry perceives and services food allergies. At first, the site will focus on food allergy friendly restaurants where people with food allergies have successfully dined, or the restaurant claims they are food allergy friendly. There will also be information regarding restaurants that don't seem to "get it". Contact us if there are additional topics you would like us to discuss regarding food allergies, or if you have any food allergy friendly restaurant experiences you would like to share. |
