About

Welcome to Foodallergymomdoc; I’m glad you’re here! 

I am the married Mom of two wonderful sons who have life-threatening food allergies, and I have over 11 years of daily hands-on experience with food allergies. 

Although I am not an allergist, I am a physician practicing radiology.  As a radiologist, I specialize in reading CT scans, x-rays, mammograms and ultrasounds.

When it comes to food allergies, I’m a mom on a mission and a parent with passion and purpose.  When my oldest son was first diagnosed with food allergies, I established and led a local food allergy group in order to bring families together for support and education.

In my experience, food allergies are overwhelming at first but become manageable with education. My initial fear and frustration subsided as I read books and articles about food allergies and spoke with people who had “been there, done that.”

I have been passionate about sharing my experiences and educating others about the severity of food allergies.   After attending a retreat several years ago, I was motivated to pursue my passion by writing a book to promote food allergy awareness and understanding.  I hope that my book will be inspirational, informative and motivational.

Through my future book and social networking, I desire to create a dialogue among parents, teachers, relatives, daycare and medical providers and anyone else who deals with food allergic individuals so that we can share ideas, resources, and concerns.

I look forward to hearing your ideas and I encourage you to join the conversation!
