[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child, in his first year at college about 8 hours from home, also has severe food allergies. I was quite concerned, but he has risen to the occasion. He has 3-4 restaurants on campus that he enjoys eating at, and the school is very good about asking about food allergies. He also zoomed with the school dietician before the school year began to
Discuss all of his options. I was worried that he might it eat much, to avoid having to worry about the possibility of anaphylaxis, but he is handling this aspect of being away from home beautifully. I would say that he has adjusted beautifully to being away at school and handling g things on his own. I wish that he could make one or two really good friends, he has lot found his group, but it doesn’t seem to bother him at all. He figures that he will eventually find his people.[/quote]

This is great to hear. I've been thinking that I didn't want my DD to be no more than 4 hours away because of her food allergies but I don't know if it really matters. Whether she's an hour away or 8, she still has to learn how to navigate them without me. Can I ask where your son attends school? One thing that's important is that she goes to one that does a great job accommodating students with food allergies. [/quote]
