What she has learned about managing her food allergy:
“The most important thing that I have learned is that you have to read all ingredients yourself, and read the label twice to be sure. Even if you have had that food before, the company could have changed the recipe. If someone else has read the label and told you the food is okay, always double-check it yourself, because you are keener on searching for ingredients that could trigger a reaction.”
