May contain and such

Hiya! As a mum of a baby with 4 allergies (gluten, eggs, sesame, and nuts), I am stuck with the May Contain written everywhere. I am scared of buying anything and especially we are avoiding eating out. How do you cope with that? My baby's nutritionist told me I need to overcome this fear, but how? Any suggestions?

How old is your Bub? I’m about to take mine to an allergist he has had bad reactions to dairy and wheat so far I’m scared he will be allergic to more he hasn’t tried egg or nuts yet 😩 Do you carry an antihistamine with you? That’s all I could recommend for if you eat out

She is 16 months old. She had the first reaction with gluten. She never tried eggs, nuts, or sesame, but she tested positive. I always have both the antihistamine and the epipen, but that makes me feel even more anxious😩

What was her reaction to gluten?

Hives in all her body and swollen face.

I think it just means the factory handles those ingredients but food production places are generally very clean and chance of cross contamination is very low. My husband is allergic to all nuts and some other foods. He always eats “May contain” and has never had a problem.

Thank you for sharing that!
