I’m in a somewhat similar situation and share your frustrations with eating out. I have an almost-4-yo who is severely allergic to milk, egg, peanuts, cashews, pistachio, and hazelnut. And a very messy almost-2-yo who outgrew a bunch of allergies and is now only allergic to eggs. Keeping toys, children, and surfaces clean after the 2yo eats his prescribed preventative Bamba and yogurt is … challenging.
We luckily (?!?) have a peanut allergy, which has the benefit of being banned in (seemingly) every childcare establishment in San Francisco, and which people take with a level of deadly seriousness that in our case (mild) is likely unwarranted. But for me, who is conveniently able to eat whatever, it's a whole new world!
Yes to all of this! My son is also allergic to sesame and I so relate to every word!
