Living with food allergies and intolerance is hard work. Sourcing, preparing, and serving food becomes an intense labor of love that can quickly consume all of your time and attention, leaving you worn out, depressed, and even fearful.
That’s normal! And it is absolutely OK to feel all of those things.
No one really talks about this, but there really is a grief cycle that follows an allergy diagnosis.
We all grow up with emotional connections to our food; the community that meals provide us and the routines we establish, such as family pizza night. Having to let go of specific foods, favorite dishes, and changing how we participate in social events is hard.
Give yourself time and grace as you navigate these feelings and work towards finding a new equilibrium for your family.
