Season 3, Episode 7: Baby food allergies, eczema, and starting solids can feel overwhelming, especially when mom guilt and family opinions get added to the mix. In this episode, we sit down with allergist Dr. Farah Khan (@farah.khan.md) for some real talk about food allergies, mom guilt, and navigating cultural skepticism.

We cover:
• Purvi's story of discovering a cashew allergy
• Why mom guilt hits hard when navigating a food allergy and why it’s not your fault
• Starting solids with less fear (and less math)
• How to know if it’s an allergy vs. a sensitivity
• EpiPens, testing, and the realities of oral immunotherapy (OIT)
• South Asian families, aunties, and why food allergies are “not real” in their eyes

If you’re managing food allergies and feel overwhelmed, this conversation will help you breathe a little easier. You are not alone.
