Chloe Raisbeck, diagnosed with oral allergy syndrome at age seven, has not consumed fruits or vegetables for over 20 years fearing severe allergic reactions. Her allergy, triggered by pollen, led to significant health challenges, causing her to rely on multivitamin supplements for nutrients. After experiencing severe symptoms from peaches and apples, she sought medical help, which confirmed her allergies. Chloe's experience highlights the psychological burden of living with food allergies and the drastic lifestyle changes required to avoid potentially fatal reactions.
“I was able to eat fruit and vegetables normally with no symptoms. But since taking a bite of that peach, my relationship with food has changed.”
“Every time I eat, there’s a constant fear. It has made eating very difficult - and I’ll have to rely on giving myself multivitamins every day to treat my allergies.”
