Food Allergy & Beyond- FAAB

The FDA has declined Anaphylm's application for approval, at least at this stage. We know many of you are interested in this under-the-tongue epinephrine film, so read our article for details: https://www.allergicliving.com/2026/02/02/fda-declines-epinephrine-films-approval-calls-for-usability-study/
The FDA's turndown could be more of a delay. The regulator wants further study of real-world usability to show that patients can manage correct placement of the product and opening of the pouch. Aquestive, the manufacturer, expresses confidence it can meet these requirements and resubmit its application by fall.

As a food allergy parent, leader, and advocate I am impressed with this book. The fear, anxiety, and impact created by a life with food allergy and allergic disease cannot be overstated. It wakes you in the night as you run to check your child, causes sorrow and fear so deep after a random school drop off you are barely able to park the car before sobbing takes over your body and senses.

Fear can consume us but we each deserve balance. Tamara Hubbard’s book will help. She embraces the subject without judgment and gives a “roadmap” of pitfalls and plans for success. We need not shy away from the truth and impact of food allergy. Let’s cope in a healthy way, filling our lives with dynamic changes and room for growth so our children can become capable adults. I’ve had countless conversations with the allergic disease community this past decade. We each manage allergic disease in our own way but seek community and companionship to improve our lives. We adopt practices that fit and find confidence in what doesn’t. “May Contain Anxiety” is another beautiful example of one of our community stepping up to make a difference and I cannot recommend it enough!
