What her friends do to help her manage her food allergies:
“My friends do a lot for me. When I am in their homes, they always let me know if I need to eat lunch or dinner before I visit. They also make sure that there is a snack in the house that is safe for me. At school during lunch, they like to double-check that what I am eating is safe. My friends do a great job looking out for me.”
