Common questions about My Food Allergy Story:
What is My Food Allergy Story?
The Food Allergy Story is a customizable “about me” style story designed for younger children with food allergies.
It helps kids understand:
what’s going on in their body
what foods are safe and not safe
who helps keep them safe
what to do if something doesn’t feel right
It also makes space for who they are beyond their allergies. So they can feel safe, understood, and still like themselves.

The Food Allergy Story is designed for families of toddlers and young children (approx. ages 0–5) navigating food allergies.
Whether you’re newly navigating allergies or looking for a simple way to explain them, this creates a shared, easy-to-understand language for your child.
