  Food Allergies in the Real World  

Meet Abby


Age: 16
Allergic to: eggs, tree nuts
Favorite magazines: Seventeen, CosmoGirl
Loves: swimming

What she would like nonallergic people to know about food allergies: “Food allergy is just a thing that I have to live with. There is no cure. I just have to avoid the foods that I am allergic to. Having a food allergy does not mean that you can not eat a lot of food, you just have to watch what you eat.”
