At the end of 2018, this specific incident changed her perspective on food allergies forever. She had a chocolate from Poland with no English ingredients on it, and asked her friend to read it. As her friend misread the ingredients, she went into anaphylactic shock while losing trust in the people around her.

The incredible, Gemma Mae Strohbach, teaches us what it's like living in South Africa where food allergies are not prioritized, how she didn't eat in restaurants for 1 year after the 2018 incident, or even at her Grandma's house on Christmas, and how her 5-year long boyfriend accommodated to her food allergies. Gemma shows us how she slowly regained her trust for the people around her, while trying to live her life to the fullest.

If you would like to know how to date with food allergies, or how to travel to different countries while staying safe: tune in to this week's episode of Less Panic, More Peace.
