Stress and Food Allergy

Posted on February 28, 2018

Everyday things can be stressful for someone with food allergies. New settings, ordering in a restaurant, and traveling on an airplane can cause anxiety to spike, especially when compounded by unexpected allergic reactions and uneducated comments from family and friends. Stress adds to the burden of trying to avoid your allergen(s). Dealing with this stress can lead to anxiety, isolation, and depression. Finding support from others who live with food allergies can be one way to manage that stress.
