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.

Who is it for?

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.
