Food Allergies Support Group

Food allergies are bewildering enough in our home countries, let alone here in Doha where ingredient labels often don't exist or are written in a foreign (to the parent) language. Allergen-free food products come and go in the Doha grocery stores and allergy-friendly bakers are hidden treasures. In short - not fun.

To assist in helping others here in Doha cope with family food allergies, the Doha Mums Food Allergies Support Group was started by several of our members.  They aim to assist the parents who have children with food allergies in learning more about food allergies, sensitivities and intolerances.  The Food Allergies Support Group meets up to discuss cooking food in allergy-friendly ways, ways of coping with the stress of raising a child who has food allergies, local medical resources and places where you can find allergen-free grocery items and allergy-friendly baked goods.

Anyone is welcome to attend their meetings - you need not be a member of Doha Mums. However, upon joining Doha Mums you will also be able to join the private Food Allergies Subgroup, where you will have 24/7 access to recipes, ideas and strategies.  For more information on the next Food Allergies Support Group meeting please take a look at the upcoming Events or simply contact Lyssa.
