Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.   I’m Fred Fishkin.      Severe food allergies can be frightening…and they are becoming more common.     But there places parents and families can turn to for help.   Dr. Ruchi Gupta is  a professor of pediatrics and medicine at the Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine and the author of The Food Allergy Experience and Food Without Fear…

“Very, very important to talk to your doctor, get to the allergist, make sure you know how to recognize signs and symptoms, how to use that epinephrine auto injector like Auvi-Q.  And very, very important to educate everyone taking care of your children.”

Dr. Gupta is also a mom to a child with severe food allergies.. and recently partnered with Brittany Mahomes…who with her Super Bowl champion husband…has two young children with the condition as well.
