Halloween is around the corner & I wanted to share Halloween is around the corner & I wanted to share about an initiative that is dear to my πŸ’™ The Teal Pumpkin Project was started by @foodallergy as a way to raise awareness & inclusion for all trick or treaters -not just monsters πŸ‘Ή & goblins πŸ‘» If you leave a teal pumpkin on your doorstep it means you also have non-food items to share for kiddos like mine πŸ™πŸ½ You can still have candy just keep non-food items separate. If you’re wondering how to get involved- our friends @allergyinsider are giving away a kit with all the things to make your house teal friendly. You can also find these cute teal pumpkins at Target! 🎯 Happy weekend everyone πŸŽƒπŸ #foodallergy #foodallergymom #halloween2021πŸŽƒ #halloween #trickortreat #trickortreating #kidswithfoodallergies #tealpumpkin #tealpumpkinproject #momlife #raisingkids #targethalloween #target #foodallergyfamily #honestmotherhood #parents

Take a bite out of the Big Apple?!!! What is OAS? Take a bite out of the Big Apple?!!! What is OAS? 🍎 Oral allergy syndrome happens when you have an itchy mouth or throat (oral cavity) when eating raw fruit, veg or nuts. This is a cross-reaction to a pollen allergy. The up side is many people can eat these foods cooked. πŸ₯œ When my girl was diagnosed with a tree nut allergy, I scoured the web to learn about cross-reactivity. I saw many posts from parents warning others with tree nut allergies to beware of introducing new fruit. πŸ” Super confusing! Fruit was a part of our diet, we wondered if we had to cut it out. I never considered you could have an allergy or that it could be cross-reactive to pollen. πŸ₯° Allergy tests confirmed my girl is not allergic to pollen so when she tasted her first bite of this pink pearl apple, she said "Mama, why have I never eaten this before?..it's delicious". πŸŽ‰ Don't let misinformation stand in the way of gaining clarity about your diagnosis. Learn about OAS, and testing options so you can celebrate the foods you can eat! πŸ’Œ Sign up for our free subscriber only newsletter series @thezestfull in partnership with @allergyinsider. #sponsored.
