It's hard to have a food allergy.

Hello! Thanks for stopping by! Feel free to post your own stories, questions or recipes!

Today was a great day for the Kupchik kids! We had lots of summer time fun. But I was reminded once again what an affect a food allergy can have on a person.

This afternoon we ran through the McDonald's drive thru on the way to a friends house.
Getting our fructose free chicken nuggets and a water of course. 


While in the car Nate mumbled something like "Not everyone can.." then "I can't..."


I said "Babe what are you talking about?" then paid and drove to the next window. Nate said, in his 8 year old macho way.."nothing Mom, nothing." I could tell he was a little bummed.


When we got to the next drive thru window I noticed the McDonald's worker's t- shirt. The shirt was covered with pictures of fruit- delicious, big, fructose fruit.


The shirt said something on it- I couldn't make it out...but Nate had. He noticed. 


And yes, if he ate the fruit on the shirt he would get sick, lose his appetite for the day and lose weight. Something he cannot afford to do.


It's just a t-shirt....but when your'e a kid, when you can't have something, you are more aware of it.


Having a food allergy is tough. It's a fructose filled world...and my Nate can't have it. But luckily there are plenty of things he can have :)
