How and why to organize your kiddo's food allergy test results

Do you have a pile of your kiddo's food allergy information? Maybe you have thought about placing your kiddo's allergy test results into some sort of order - maybe organize all those pieces of paper in a binder? Or maybe you have the results available online, not exactly organized but somewhat in one place? 

But it just doesn't seem quite organized, right?

We gain a better understanding of things when we write things out yourselves. So it makes sense that organizing your kiddo’s allergy test results can help you better grasp your kiddo’s disease process as you can clearly see:

Initial reaction storySkin test resultsBlood test resultsResult interpretations and recommended plans by your allergistIngestion challenge plans and outcomesEpinephrine auto-injector locations and expiration dates

 When you put all this information together onto a page, it helps you visualize the clinical side of your kiddo's food allergy journey. It also allows you an easy way to make sure you and your allergist are on the same page (literally!).

In this episode of the podcast, Pam and I discuss a tool that I created especially to help families manage their kiddo's food allergy clinical information. You can access the Clinical Info Organizer here within the blog post that accompanies this podcast episode.

Enjoy this episode!
