Learn, Love & Share for Food Allergy Awareness Week

This week, the broader custom eating community celebrates both Celiac and Food Allergy Awareness, and we can think of no better place to do that than on the social platform built for all custom eaters.

As we looked through the amazing collection of blog posts about food allergies that our members have shared over the last year, we were struck by our community's passion to educate and share with one another.

But more than that, we were struck by the electric current of love that runs through so many of these posts. That's true whether it's the protective mantle a food allergy 'mama bear' wraps around her vulnerable cubs, or the love our adult partners show in the thousands of compromises they make to their own diets to keep our mealtime traditions whole.

We thought we'd share just a few of those here today and encourage you to click through to our food allergy blog posts collection to browse more.

Happy Eating,
Cheryl
