Drained by Allergic Asthma
Last updated: September 2022
I'm allergic to food, medications, synthetic iron, synthetic sugars, and have allergic asthma which can be quite severe.
Tips for traveling
This has impacted my life in too many ways to count. It's to the point where if I want to go away overnight, most of the luggage is food and my medications. Many times I cook extra and bring it with me to share with my host family. If I go to a hotel I book a room that has a refrigerator. And I learned to travel with coolers and ice packs. If I cook at a hotel, its on an electric burner and disposable anything else so I don't have to worry about bringing it back. Or crock pots are useful. I bring along my own salt, oil, spices, ketchup, ginger ale, bread. Or matza. Mayonnaise. And more
