Guest Teen Nut-Allergy Blogger, Kaya - Inspiring Words from One 'Allergian' to Another!

At a time where 'Food Allergy Bullying' is quite the topic, I was pleased to have this encouraging article from a local tweener who has managed living with severe nut allergies with wonderful success.  

Her family, friends and school are incredibly supportive in helping her lead a healthy and inclusive life.  I love her reference to younger kids with allergies as being "little Allergians".  

Here's to more food allergy encouragement and Allergian Support!

Hi, My name is Kaya and I am an twelve year old girl soon to be in eighth grade. I have been dealing with a tree-nut/peanut allergy since I was about two years old. The first time I experienced a nut reaction was at the Boise Town Square Mall.
