After the Diagnosis....What Do I Do Next?

Work with your physician to develop an emergency plan. Make sure you know when and how to administer emergency medications, how to contact your doctor, etc.

Contact The Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network
Note: A great FAAN resource is the videotape "It Only Takes One Bite".

Obtain a MedicAlert emblem (bracelets work well for children).

Learn how to read a label. This is more complicated than you may think! To familiarize yourself with the various terms, see The Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network's how-to-read-a-label cards.

Get involved in a local support group if possible! FAAST serves the Greater Cincinnati area.

For information on the symptoms of a serious food allergy, check the FAAN web site at www.foodallergy.org or ask your doctor.
