That's Fit

Eating out with food allergies has got to be a difficult experience. Not only do you have to be very careful what to order, you have to rely on the people preparing your food and the wait staff to remember your requirements, and in some cases, if someone makes a mistake, it can be a life threatening.

If you have a food allergy and love to eat out, check out the Food Allergy Buddy card. Follow just a few simple steps online and the card will be created for free to print out and use at your next restaurant outing. Though I don't suffer from food allergies myself, I created a dummy card to see how they looked. The cards include your name, a list of allergies, an emergency contact number, and a place for your server to write in your table number. It was a very simple process, and there was even a space for additional allergies not listed.

The cards fit in your purse or wallet and designs for children are available. The cards might also be nice to hand to your child's teacher or day care provider. I love simple solutions to difficult problems, and this card seems to fit that bill. Has anyone ever used one of these? I'd love to hear about it!
