Allergen Component Testing: Alyssa’s Story

Alyssa Bauder scheduled what she thought was a routine appointment with an allergist but received news that changed her life. While she still had a life-threatening allergy to peanuts, she no longer was allergic to tree nuts, fish, shellfish, or chickpeas—news that seemed almost too good to be true. Learn how she tackled 13 food challenges and worked with her therapist to manage food allergy-related anxiety with a strategy that led to wins like her first Starbucks at 24 years old and a lot of fun along the way.

Alyssa is thankful for the freedom she’s gained and is glad to still be a part of the food allergy community, one that she’s passionate about and plans to continue advocating for through both her platform and career.

Greece Peanut and Tree Nut Allergy-Friendly Travel Itinerary

Hi! I'm Susie and I am the food allergy mama of a now college-aged daughter who is allergic to peanuts and several tree nuts including cashews, pistachios and brazil nuts. I am also the Founder of Spokin! We are a foodie family that loves to travel and wanting to make it easier was a big part of why I started Spokin! We recently went on a dream trip to Greece for two weeks and visited Santorini, two areas in Crete including Elounde and Chania, and Athens. I was truly amazed at how allergy aware most places where and we used an Equal Eats card for the first time that was literally a life saver! I shared reviews for every place we visited and you can follow me on the Spokin app @susie

Greece Wheat-Free Travel Itinerary

Hi! My name is Alex Adams and I’m an adventurous foodie living in Miami Beach, Florida. I discovered I have a wheat allergy in 2019 and have been gluten-free ever since. While a bit more challenging sometimes, I love to travel, experience different cuisines, and find restaurant gems near and far. Last summer, I went on an 8-day trip to Greece and got engaged! We had so many wonderful meals of fresh fish, delicious cheeses, plenty of Greek salad and great cocktails. Santorini was the perfect island for a romantic getaway where we could wine and dine at spots like Venetsanos Winery with a multi-course, gluten-free wine pairing lunch, and we finished the trip celebrating at beautiful beach clubs in Mykonos. Follow me on the Spokin app to see all of my restaurant and travel reviews and on Instagram for more fun gluten-free eats at @passthetreats.
