  Food Allergies in the Real World  

Meet Sarah

Age: 14
Allergic to: peanuts, soy, tree nuts, and shellfish
Favorite actress: Reese Witherspoon
Loves: diving

What her friends do to help her manage her food allergies:
“My friends love peanut butter, so to help me with my food allergies, they like to sit with me and bring soy butter to lunch every day. It is more expensive than peanut butter, but they do it to help me manage my food allergies. Two of my friends even know how to administer an EpiPen® and said they could give it to me in the event of an emergency.”
