Hello, this is Leah with the food allergy Institute and the allergy tribe. I'm your host for the ranking mastery podcast. I'm going to help you understand the impact that living with food allergic disease has on the patient, family and community. At large, my goal is to help families reduce stress and anxiety in their daily lives while teaching them how to thrive in every part of life.
1 Yes, it is absolutely possible to avoid burnout, but no one can do it alone.
Even the parents without food allergy or other chronic illnesses balance to struggle with the demands of modern life. This is why we all need help. I like to call the support system that allergy parents have to build their aller tribe.
At The Food Allergy Institute we help clients identify individuals who are already in their life and train them. We train them on how they can ask for help and support. Asking for help is a superpower. In fact, it's one of my favorite super powers you can have.
Build your aller tribe. |
Ask for help. |

1 The answer is yes, but I almost never recommend asking for any type of ban, like a school wide peanut ban. The fact is they don’t work, they only set up a false sense of security.
2 Research has shown that schools with any type of food banned have a 25% higher rate of Epipen use, as compared to schools that don’t. What you can do is work with your school to put in place proper policies and procedures that will keep your child safe and included. Like anything, there are rare occasions where a limited ban does make sense.

1 No! After 15 years he is clearly not going to change his behavior. You only have control of your reaction and emotions. At this point I am going to guess that you have told him how bringing this dangerous dish makes you feel- including putting your health at risk.
2 What you can do is accept the dish into your home and put it away far from where it can put you in danger. Once he’s gone give it to the neighbors or simply throw it away. Don’t let his behavior ruin your day. I would also recommend you let him know in a calm manner - maybe an email - that his dish will be placed away from the other food. If he’s not happy about it he’s welcome to leave it at home.

1 The phenomenon of burnout refers to a specific syndrome of exhaustion related to prolonged situations of emotional imbalance, where the burden of perceived stress exceeds personal resources to cope with it.
2 Parental or “Mom Burnout” is amazingly common and not talked about in conversations with people who can support each other enough. Now more than ever moms have to manage a prolonged state of long-term strain (alertness, stress, and often anxiety), which left unchecked can lead to burnout, which mothers experience as physical and psychological fatigue.
3 During “normal” times about 20% of Moms face burnout - but during covid that rate is jumping - add a child with a chronic illness wow! Even higher.

1 The answer yes, Section 504 of the American with Disabilities Act classifies any life activity that limits a major life activity.
2 Major life activities include a wide variety of daily activities, such as: caring for oneself, performing manual tasks, walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, eating, learning, and working.
3 Having a food allergy can limit a life activity. Thus, most students with a food allergy are entitled to protection under this federal law which means, schools, and their organizations such as clubs, sports, PTO’s must make every reasonable effort to include them. Not to mention it is the right thing to do! If you feel like your school is not following the ADA guidelines let me help you talk to your school so your child is safely included and no one feels ostracized.
