Hello! My name is Courtney Fox.
I was born with a life-threatening dairy allergy and never grew out of it. I have also lived with Oral Allergy Syndrome (OAS) since I was 21.
Growing up and especially throughout college and my young adult life, I did not have very many resources to turn to when I encountered challenging situations while dealing with a potentially anaphylactic food allergy. I didn’t know anyone else with a food allergy like mine, and I still know very few adults who live with life-threatening allergies.
Food allergies affect my entire life, whether it is social outings, working, traveling, relationships, or just everyday occurrences. I’ve always wanted to start a blog, and so as I enter into my thirties, I decided I finally wanted to create a place to share my experiences and hopefully help out others who are going through similar situations. I try to keep a positive attitude in general and strive to lead a normal life regardless of my allergies.
I hope you enjoy reading about my experiences!
