Life with a nut allergy.

I have a severe allergy to nuts.  Tree nuts, to be exact.


And, I'm not alone.  

Through my blogging experience, I've met a handful of folks who also have nut allergies in their families.  One of those women is Lynn.  Lynn herself has food allergies to gluten, but her daughter was recently diagnosed as having a nut allergy.  She has designated a part of her blog "Lynn's Recipe Adventures" as devoted to allergy-friendly recipes.  

Together, Lynn and I are going to be sharing our experiences with nut allergies.  Over the next six weeks, each Wednesday we'll be tackling issues like:

  • What is a nut allergy?  How does an allergy differ from an intolerance?
  • What can I eat when I have a nut allergy?
  • Adjusting to a life with nut allergies
  • How can I have a "normal" social life when I have a nut allergy?
  • What?!? You want to cook for me?  What to do if one of your dinner guests has a nut allergy.  
  • Nut allergies and kids
While we recognize that this series will not appeal to all our readers, we wanted to share it with you because chances are, you know someone with an allergy, maybe even a nut allergy.  

I do hope you'll join us as Lynn and I share just two of many perspectives on the challenges associated with nut allergies!
