by Meghan Neri (Author)
The diagnosis. The planning and preparation. The constant vigilance. The uncertainty. The fear. These can be constant struggles for food allergic individuals and those who care for them. You try to do everything right, you follow all the "rules," and then BAM, just one bite of the wrong food and an allergic reaction can rock your world. With no right answers and plenty of wrong ones, what works for one family doesn't necessarily work for another. Just One Bite is a book about relatability. The "I get that"s along with the "who knew"s. For Meghan Neri, experienced food allergy parent, educator, support group leader, and advocate, some of the best medicine has come from connecting with others who understand. So open these pages and find connection. Follow the Neri family's journey of fear, adversity, and hope. You are not alone.
