Welcome to theallergymom.com
This site is for parents and caregivers of children with allergies, asthma, anaphylaxis, eczema and/or food intolerances.
I am a mom of 2 children with severe allergies. I work hard every day to make our home a happy, healthy and safe place for our children. This site was developed to help other parents of allergy kids and to hopefully create a community where we can support each other, share stories, resources, tips, recipes and more!
We Want Your Contributions!
If you have stories, recipes, resources or any information and advice that you think would be helpful for parents of allergy kids, please contact The Allergy Mom through our Contact Page or post on our forum to share!
I dedicate this site to my children and to all of the allergy parents out there...I understand what it means to have a child with severe and potentially life-threatening allergies and my heart goes out to you.
Sincerely,
Melissa Pearson
The Allergy Mom
