Much of food allergy support networks in elementary, middle, and high school, as well as college have begun to catch up with the needs that food allergies present: food allergy free classrooms, resources from nurse's offices, and allergy-free dining to name a few. But life on your own after graduation presents you with struggles and with no form of structure anymore to find those resources to make it through.
