  Food Allergies in the Real World  

Meet Elisabeth


Age: 15
Allergic to: peanuts, tree nuts, soy, sesame, and others
Favorite book: A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
Loves: playing the violin

What her friends do to help manage her food allergy: “My friends will ask if it’s OK to eat certain foods around me or warn me if they’re eating something that I can’t have. I have some close friends with allergies as well, so when we go somewhere, we sometimes bring safe food to share so that we don’t feel different.”
