SHARE YOUR STORY... 
This month we are thrilled to be able to bring you Catherine's Story... a food allergy journey.  The story is a touching and heartfelt account.
"Our son was diagnosed with a severe peanut allergy when he was 13 months old.  A terrible way to discover this: I gave him peanut butter on toast and within seconds his lips had swollen, he had hives all over his face and had developed breathing difficulties.  A skin prick test with a well known allergist 4 days later confirmed the allergy."

We would like to thank Catherine for taking the time to document her story and I'm sure you will see much of your own story within.
We would love to hear from you about your child's food allergy journey and how it has affected you and your family.
Help and inspire other parents who are just starting their own journey and may be feeling overwhelmed and alone.
Please email your stories HERE and we will endeavour to publish as many as possible in the coming months...
