We are making laminated cards in French and Italian to show waiters and store proprietors and to explain this is life or death-Allergic specifically to Cashew and pistachios and pink peppercorn.

How do you explain to restaurants that you have food allergies and how do you know they listen yo you? I have a selected few restaurants I go to, and when I have to go to a new one I feel like my life is in danger...which it technically is (hehe) seeing as my anaphalaxis has reached a point where I have an epipen with me at all times, and even then I do not have long to get to a doctor...just wondering how everyone else copes with restaurants and take away places...

He typically eats chicken, pork and ground beef. Rice, corn and potatoes are fine. I just want to be able to shop at the Walmart in Mazatlan and know that their labeling is accurate. This is a huge leap of faith for me and I'm scared.

I will be out of town for training with my work. I will be at a facility that will provide meals. I have never had success with eating when someone has catered the food in. I will not have access safe restaurants and will not have my own transportation nor familiarity with the area to try to venture away on my own.

Thank you

Hi
We have been on holiday, but later on this year we are going to the Maldives. Would be great to read any advice that you think would help us on our journey! 3 girls with severe allergies and myself. We're flying Emirates to Dubai then Dubai on to Male. We chose a resort that didn't serve buffet style food as that would not be helpful for our allergies. We felt we couldn't compromise on the food in a resort. Many thanks Sarah x
