Stories Of A Food Allergic Person: Learn, Live, Keep Moving Forward: Allergic Symptoms (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798737638252)

Are you dealing with any kinds of food allergies? You want to find sympathy somewhere out there? Then this book will definitely be your go-to.

Prepare to be inundated with information and well-intentioned advice from every angle. At any point in time parents are faced with too many choices, too many options. In the end, there is only one path taken, one road traveled. This is a one-way road and if you ever have a moment of self-doubt there is only one acceptable answer:

"I made the best decision that I could with the information available to me at the time."

Put this in your toolbox and reach for it often. Decide that you want to learn to make better decisions in the future and stop worrying about what almost happened. LTFA is a profound, terrifying experience, and not just for the parents. Mistakes will be made, accidents happen. Learn, live, keep moving forward. There is no alternative.

Ultimately, as a parent, the responsibility to make informed decisions falls with you.
