What advice she would like to give to others with food allergy: “Food allergies are more than a problem – they’re a way of life. You have to be constantly vigilant, never so lazy as to take a stupid risk. Food allergies are very serious, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. This doesn’t mean you can’t live – you can do anything and everything you want to do, and don’t be afraid to, either. As long as you are careful, open, and flexible, nothing can hold you back.”
