I was diagnosed with a lot of food allergies when I was very young. So many yummy foods, including soy sauce, had to be eliminated from my diet by the time I turned 4 years old. As an 11 year old, I have been craving Asian food practically my whole life! One day, when I was grocery shopping with my dad, I spotted something new on the shelf: Coconut Secret Organic Garlic Sauce & Marinade. That’s the one. We took it home and I got creative in the kitchen. I made what I call, Soy-Free Chicken Stir Fry.
Staying Healthy
Having food allergies can be scary. If you think you have food allergies, don’t wait to talk to your doctor about getting tested.
I make important choices to protect myself like:
- Carrying my asthma inhaler, Benadryl, and epinepherine pen everywhere I go.
- Asking questions at restaurants to make sure I can get a safe meal that hasn’t been cross contaminated.
- Checking labels on the foods I want to eat to make sure the ingredients are safe for me before I eat them.
I try to keep things interesting by finding new ingredients, like this Coconut Secret Organic Garlic Sauce & Marinade, to try in new recipes like this Soy-Free Chicken Stir Fry.
