You, Me and Allergies is a podcast sharing the lived experience of families with allergies. We don’t shy away from the nitty gritty of navigating the transition to parenthood with the added challenges of allergy life. Hosted by Kat O’Brien a paediatric allergy dietitian and allergy mum.
In today's episode we chat to Katie, mum to Charlotte, who was diagnoses with FPIES after eating banana on holidays. Today's story is a positive one- with quick diagnosis thanks to her husband (who has a medical background) and getting a cancellation appointment to see an allergist they were well set up to manage Charlotte's FPIES with confidence.
Welcome to Episode 3! Today we interview Victoria Prince who shares her story of being an allergy mum to two girls (Poppy and Lola). Poppy has multiple immediate food allergies, which include some pretty unique allergens (avocado and mustard seed!). Victoria herself also has an immediate IgE allergy to nuts and seafood, so she brings that lense to her experience raising her girls. Victoria's episode gives us a glimpse into the allergy journey a few years on and how things do get easier!
In episode 2 we meet Bec! Bec had a challenging postpartum with the early onset of Cow's Milk Protein Allergy (CMPA) causing extreme discomfort for her son Jasper. Some health professionals were very dismissive but eventually she landed a dream team that has supported her and Jasper to this day. At the age of 2, Jasper still has soy, cow's milk and egg allergies. Bec has created an incredible resource for parents out for this though- sharing allergy friendly meals and resources on her Instagram page. UPDATE: original episode upload had a glitch which has been corrected.
Today we talk to the beautiful Lauren who shares her experience of becoming a mother to Sebastian and the challenges of discovering his severe egg allergy while navigating her own health challenges during COVID.
