Food Anxiety & Food Allergies

Many people who have food allergies, especially children, have tremendous anxiety about food, fears of cross contamination, fears of eating outside of the home, and fears of having an allergic reaction. When this level of fear/anxiety is too high, it can interfere with the person’s ability to live a normal life. Dr. Yellen has significant experience with food anxiety/food allergy issues, including the anxiety often involved for people going through Oral Immunotherapy Treatment (OIT) for their food allergy.
