The New Normal
Hi! I’m so excited to be starting my blog & sharing a part of my life that has been (and continues to be) a struggle as I try to navigate the difficult world of allergies and all of it’s side effects for my sweet little boy, Musa. These last 4 years have been a rollercoaster ride from diagnosis to omitting allergens and finding a new normal. As difficult as it’s all been, I’m now at a place where I want to share my experiences and what works for us.
Currently, Musa has to avoid dairy, eggs, wheat, peanut, tree nuts, shellfish, chickpea & lentils. His list of allergens was longer but, with time, he has outgrown his allergies to apple, banana, fish, ginger, flax seed, sunflower seed, coconut & soy.
Dealing with his allergies requires lots of prep and planning…but this has become our new normal. And even though it all sucks, we have learned to live with it and love it!
