Living With Food Allergies

I have always been pretty fortunate not to have any food allergies, but I am from a family with a long string of food allergies or sensitivities.  You have to be living under a rock if you aren't aware of the rise in food allergies among people these days.  People do not wear signs around their necks telling others of these allergies so we have to be aware of product ingredients when offering food to others, especially children.

My sister is celiac (gluten/wheat allergic) and my other sister is sensitive to these products along with dairy, corn and others.  Our family gatherings are known for the With & Without products to accommodate their food allergies.  My son is in a peanut-free classroom... which, by the way, is one of 5 such classrooms in his school.

If you are 'sensitive' to a food product, then you will react in some way when you eat that food.  If you are 'allergic' to a food product, you will react to the food and it will harm your body since your body cannot process that food.  Allergic can be 'life & death' while sensitive can be uncomfortable but not life-threatening.

The Living Without magazine was born when my sister discovered her food allergies.  She decided that others, like herself, would appreciate stories, recipes and support with her food issues. Finally, natural allergy relief!

So...check out this great magazine yourself!
