Having a food allergy during Thanksgiving can be overwhelming. Here are a few tips to help:

1. If you are hosting a Thanksgiving event, check with your guest. If someone is dealing with a food allergy, offer food allergy friendly options.

2. If you are attending a Thanksgiving event, let your hostess know and bring your own food allergy safe item.

3. Always carry your epinephrine injector.

Thanksgiving meals could expose you to foods containing allergens. Hosts will appreciate knowing if you or a family member has a serious food allergy, so be sure to share that information.

You can offer to bring a separate dish or dishes to avoid causing disruption to your hosts.

If it’s your turn to host, communicate with guests about menu ingredients ahead of time in case someone has an allergy you don’t know about — they will thank you!

Our clinic is staffed by dedicated nurses and board-certified allergists who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of food allergies. Learn more and get started at our website. foodallergynorthtexas.org

Keeping kids with food allergies safe during Halloween trick-or-treating requires careful planning. We offer tips to be prepared and enjoy the fun with peace of mind.

🎃Educate Your Child: Teach them to politely refuse any candy they know may contain allergens, like peanuts or dairy. Ensure they know not to eat anything before you have a chance to check it.

🎃Bring Your Own Treats: To avoid disappointment, bring safe allergy-friendly treats with you to swap for any unsafe items they receive.

🎃Check Labels: Always check the ingredient labels when your child gets home. Be cautious with mini versions of popular candies, as they can sometimes be made in different facilities with different allergen cross-contamination risks.

🎃Participate in the Teal Pumpkin Project: Look for houses participating in this project, which offers non-food treats like small toys or stickers. You can also put out a teal pumpkin to signal your home is a safe space for kids with allergies.

🎃Allergy-Friendly Events: Some communities host special allergy-safe events, so check for these in your area.

🎃Carry Epinephrine: If your child has a severe allergy, make sure to have their emergency medication, such as an epinephrine auto-injector, on hand.
