I wrote this e-book to assist others, having experienced similar challenges myself!

My daughter had cow’s milk protein allergy (CMPA) from birth and later developed allergies to egg, sesame, tree nuts, and peanuts. (She has thankfully outgrown all these allergies now - you can read her allergy journey here.)

When she was born in 2012, awareness of food allergies was limited so I was anxious about travelling with her.

On our first holiday after weaning, we chose self-catering so I could cook her safe meals. My daughter mostly ate beans on toast and pasta that I brought along, as these were the only foods I felt confident giving her.

I spent hours reading labels, avoided restaurants, and felt constant anxiety.

By our last holiday before she outgrew her allergies, I had learned enough to confidently manage her allergies with airlines, restaurants, and hotels.

I want to pass on all these tips to you so you can equip yourself with the knowledge to safely enjoy your holiday and relax too!
