LAKE FOREST, CALIFORNIA — The winter holiday season is often an especially challenging time for parents of children who have severe food allergies. These parents know that their children are at risk for having an almost instant – and potentially fatal – reaction after ingesting even a tiny amount of a common food, but they often do not know how to keep their children safe at food-filled holiday get-togethers. Plumtree Press’ book, How To Manage Your Child’s Life-Threatening Food Allergies: Practical Tips For Everyday Life, provides the answers.

Written by food allergy author Linda Coss, How To Manage Your Child’s Life-Threatening Food Allergies is an easy-to-use reference manual that gives parents the tools they need to manage this very difficult condition.

During the holiday season the usually complicated task of keeping severely food-allergic children from coming into contact with allergens is magnified. How do you get relatives, friends, and other parents to take the condition seriously? People often do not believe that “just one bite” can be deadly, and do not like to see children “deprived” of holiday favorites. How do you prevent house guests from “contaminating” your home and food supply with allergens? How do you determine if it will be safe for your child to be at a particular party at all? How do you tactfully discuss the party menu with the hostess – and ask her to leave out particularly dangerous items altogether? How To Manage provides the answers to all these questions and more.

How To Manage Your Child’s Life-Threatening Food Allergies is available at www.FoodAllergyBooks.com, from Amazon.com, and from various online and bricks-and-mortar booksellers nationwide.

Linda Coss is also the author of the popular What’s to Eat? The Milk-Free, Egg-Free, Nut-Free Food Allergy Cookbook. The mother of a teenage son with multiple potentially fatal food allergies, Ms. Coss has over ten years of experience as the leader of a support group for parents of children with severe food allergies.
