Tips To Avoid Food Allergy Reactions during the holidays

Holidays are a great time to spend with family
and friends.  Here are some ideas to help to
avoid any food reactions. 

1.  Freeze dishes ahead of time.  Prepare items
and any side dishes that you can bring with
you.  When  ready to eat defrost and serve.  It
 will be a dish you like and you know is ok to eat.

2.  Only use foods from products you trust and
are labeled allergy free.

3.  Educate on cross contamination.  Many people
do not realize sharing a spoon, or toaster can lead
to a reaction.

4.  You can always pack your own meal and bring
over.  If you want bread bring some of your own.

5.  Speak to the host, see what is being served, and
make choice what will be best for you.
