چکیده
Background The stress of raising a child with food allergies affects each family differently, depending, in large part, on how the physician initially presents the information and the family’s coping style. Based on how the information is presented they can leave the doctor’s office terrified and unsure whether they will be able to prevent the next reaction, or concerned but confident that they can keep their child safe. We educate patients to be informed and to communicate and are encouraged to “live a normal life while taking precautions”.
