Raising a child with a food allergy can be challenging enough, but what should families do when they have children with and without food issues? That’s a question CHOC Radio host Bryan Mundia recently asked Shonda Brown, a CHOC Children’s clinical dietitian who works in the hospital’s Eosinophilic Esophagitis Clinic.
There are many things a family should consider before deciding to rid the house of one child’s food allergens, thereby restricting the diet of the entire family. The ease of removing particular items from the home and the severity of the allergy are just two things to keep in mind, says Shonda.
In this podcast, Shonda offers tips for keeping the home safe for kids with allergies, without preventing other members of the family from enjoying foods they enjoy.
