Meet Amy

Allergic to: milk, shellfish
Favorite actresses: Alexis Bledel, America Ferrera
Loves: playing the viola and violin

What advice she would like to give others with food allergy: “Plan events with your friends so that you always have safe food with you. Carry your medicine at all times, and learn to administer it yourself. Educate your friends about your allergy so they know that it is serious and so they know how to easily include you in activities.”
