Managing your food allergies during a Pandemic

With your favorite eatery shut down do to the Coronavirus, you might think you are limited on eating options.  This is not true.  No, you can't do take out or delivery for most of your places, but I have seen some of the vegan restaurants (atleast here in Florida and my friends tell me the same in Washington) have moved to delivery.  I do caution you to use care when ordering from a delivery service though.  Most restaurants that are open will not be doing special requests such as 'no msg' or 'no bread'.   With people hoarding food that is shelf good for years, fresh fruit, veggies and some meats are in plentiful supply.  I have also seen a few companies start up a sort of farmers market delivery.  They will deliver to your neighborhood.  As for being stuck at home with nothing to do?  Get creative with your cooking!  Can't cook you say?  Bah!  Now is the time to learn!  Chop that squash up with some fresh onion, toss in a little oil/butter and seasonings and saute away!

But, in all seriousness, most of us with food allergies will be able to manage just fine since most of the processed foods that have our particular bad items are now gone from the store shelves.

If you are a parent with a special diet child and are running out of formula, call the company.  The number is on the back of the can and they will send you free formula during this crisis.


Stay safe, stay healthy.
