“Throughout my childhood years, one question rang through my head: Why did I, out of the millions of children across the world, have so many food allergies? I know there are a multitude of people in the world with allergies, but I have my own unique story and experiences. I’ve had potentially life-threatening food allergies to gluten, dairy, eggs, nuts, and shellfish. Just a case of genetic variation? Maybe. However, I believe there is some deeper meaning; who would dare curse a child to a life of never tasting a Hershey’s bar? Or condemn a kid to starving in a Sunday School classroom watching other kids happily munch on Goldfish and Animal Crackers?”

Embark on this life-spanning journey with me as I navigate the often uncharted emotions behind food allergies through personal anecdotes and commentary. Whether you’re seeking to learn more about this topic, or you’re someone with allergies wishing for a relatable narrative, this short memoir will hopefully inform and inspire you.
