The Wicklow Project

She did it! This kid right here has just completed her first oral food challenge and knocked off a potentially life threatening food allergy from her list. This is HUGE and such a relief.

Today, over a period of 3 hours, Emma was able to consume 16 peanut M&Ms with little to no reaction. What does this mean? She can now eat peanuts freely and will have to consume a serving of peanut twice a week for the rest of her life. She still won’t be like the other kids who aren’t allergic to peanut, but hey, I’ll take it!

She is very excited to try a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and to no longer have to avoid her baby sister if she’s had peanut butter.

Thank you Dr. Yeung and Tammy for guiding us on this journey to ❤️

My sweet Emma. You have no idea how strong and brave you truly are. For the past few years, you have taken daily micro doses of what your body essentially thinks is poison. Whether this was the right decision or not, I still don’t know, but tomorrow you will be pushing your body harder than it’s ever been pushed. Challenging yourself to see if your body can tolerate 16 peanuts. Whether you make it to 16 or not, know that we are so incredibly proud of you for making it this far. You’re our beautiful little hero and we love you so much.

1 in 3 children with food allergies have been bullied as a result of their food allergies. That is not okay. Let’s raise our children to be kind, empathetic, compassionate and let us, as parents, lead by example.

In a time where kindness is much needed, let’s 💕

Tomorrow marks the beginning of the Top 10 Challenge with the Canadian Allergy, Asthma and Immunology Foundation . Every year the Challenge raises money for the Top Ten Food Allergy Research Grant, which supports scientists working to improve treatment for patients today, and uncover ways to hopefully eliminate food allergies in the future.

In support of my followers and customers and to help raise awareness of the implications of life with food allergies, I will be eliminating the Top 10 allergens from my diet from February 19-28th.
