  Food Allergies in the Real World  

Meet Sam

Age: 14
Allergic to: several foods , including peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, and poppy seeds
Favorite actor: Adam Sandler
Loves: baseball, basketball, soccer, and skiing

What he has learned about his food allergies:
“The most important thing that I have learned about managing my food allergies is that they do not need to stop me from eating at restaurants. I go out to eat with my friends , and I have to ask to make sure that there are none of my allergens in the food. If I cannot eat at the restaurant, I have a good time and eat later.”
