Food allergy isn’t just about what’s on the plate — it’s about safety, dignity, and equal access in every part of life. I’m grateful to @KevinMD for giving patients and advocates a voice in this urgent conversation. Pls watch our conversation

Read my new piece via @allergicliving Boarded the flight an ER doctor. Diverted flight as a critically ill patient. Allergic reaction mid-air led to lawsuit. Will this change if airlines are accountable? allergicliving.com/2025/06/2… The allergy and airline spaces are watching: Will this case finally shift airline liability?

✅Food allergies are NOT an inconvenience ⚠️They are a serious medical condition that can & has taken lives ✈️We need standardized airline policies, trained crews, and a culture that treats passengers with dignity. 📹Watch my interview with @kevinmd on busting misconceptions

As families gather, we’re reminded: life is full of meals. But with a food allergy, one bite can be deadly. Avarie, a U.S. student abroad, died after unknowingly eating tree nuts. Her epinephrine wasn’t with her.kevinmd.com/2025/04/what-ava… This must change. We need to keep telling these stories—not for shock, but for change. My latest piece on @kevinmd is a call to action for better education, stronger systems, and a safer world for those with food allergies.Please share—because we must keep having these difficult conversations if we want to prevent more senseless deaths.

Flying with food allergies? What you need to know The scariest part isn’t the allergy—it’s the inconsistency. Watch my conversation w/ @kevinmd& learn steps you can take NOW to mitigate risk of anaphylaxis kevinmd.com/2025/03/compassi… 📈 98% of food allergy travelers feel anxiety—not because they’re anxious people, but because they never know how they’ll be treated. 🥗A passenger ate an airline meal, had a reaction mid-flight—WHY because labels don’t have to be complete in the air. Meal labels in US aren’t required to list all allergens, even the top ones. 🆘 Fighting for Better Emergency Medical Kits (EMKs) For the past decade, I’ve been advocating for airlines to carry the right medications in their EMKs. Right now, some kits lack lifesaving medications for severe allergic reactions. Progress has been slow, but we’re seeing movement. I call myself pessimistically optimistic—I know change is hard, but we’re closer than ever to fixing this major safety gap. 📢 There’s more you need to know so listen today
