We always make sure that the food is 'safe' for him, but when it comes, he usually will take one bite and then refuse to eat it. Granted, it may not be safe and he recognizes that, but he could also be too afraid to try also.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14333747196556945089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32458049.post-39914355094236703512011-06-29T10:56:43.786-04:002011-06-29T10:56:43.786-04:00I'm an allergic girl who gets spooked every no...I'm an allergic girl who gets spooked every now and then too, Sloane.

Genius in my humble opinion! Great to know that they went the extra mile to help you out, and glad that you have a platform where you can spread the word! If more places like this keep getting excellent word of mouth & press... they're more likely to inspire other restaurants to heighten their allergy standards.<br /><br />The other thing that I find comforting in this... is that you still get spooked. As someone who's assertive with their allergy needs to the point of coaching & helping others, it's good to know that even you can get shaken and that it's "OK", and you just move past it. <br /><br />I get a panic when I get an odd tinge of an unknown taste in something... even though I'm sure & have been assured it's safe. We've all been there. It gives strength to the rest of us in that if you have an "oh oh" moment, it'll pass.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16276585871211632499noreply@blogger.com
