Food Allergies & Intolerances

Nutrition Therapy

 
 
 

This feels too complicated!

Food allergies can be SO hard to deal with alone. Not only does it sometimes feel like a guessing game, but it can become very debilitating. You may have terrible symptoms, anxiety around foods making you feel bad, fear around purchasing or cooking with the wrong ingredients. Eating out with others can become a hassle and it is easier to just be alone and eat the same foods over and over.

Maybe it is simpler than that, you only have a few allergies, but it’s still hard to know what to lookout for, how to cook differently, what snacks to avoid or include.

Perhaps you’re a parent, spouse, caregiver and your loved one has an allergy that makes navigating homemade meals and snacks (and organization) a challenge. Lovingly put… you are tired of making 3-4 different meals for everyone each night!

How can we help?

You don’t have to tackle all of this on your own. Often an allergist or primary provider doesn’t have all the answers, or the time to spend reviewing some of the day-to-day struggles. That’s what we are here for.

Our dietitians can help you with the following things to help make your life easier:

  • Meal plan, grocery shop, find recipes / new foods to try

  • Reintroduce allergens

  • Read labels, questions to ask, precautions to take

  • Monitor and improve physical symptoms

  • Increase flavor and satisfaction

common Allergies we work with include (but are not limited to):

  • Eggs

  • Wheat

  • Gluten

  • Tree Nuts

  • Peanuts

  • Shellfish

  • Crustaceans

  • Fish

  • Milk

  • Soy

  • Sesame

  • Alpha-gal

  • Metals

 

WHAT TO EXPECT | INITIAL SESSION

90 MINUTES

During your initial visit, we will discuss initial paper-work and go through your treatment history, nutrition and health journey, current state, and where you’d like to be. We will review your goals, level of motivation and support system. It is okay if you do not know where you’d like to begin, we will help you get started. Together we will set goals and lay the blueprints for how to navigate food in a way that tastes good, you don’t feel deprived, is easier, all the while monitoring symptoms and health. From this point forward we are partners and our only goal is to help you feel confident and energized!
