Failure to Thrive to FPIES Diagnosis: An Interview with Allyson Cutaiar
Show Notes

Meet Allyson Cutaiar, EMT, first-time mom of a 18-month-old little girl named Lexi, hyperemesis warrior,  and lover of books and chocolate. She shares her experience as a first-time mom with anxiety on top of her experiences parenting a baby diagnosed with failure to thrive, food allergies, and the process that led to her daughter’s diagnosis. Learn how Allyson's mother's intuition, support from fellow moms, and advocacy for her child saved her sanity and led her daughter to treatment that has allowed her to thrive.

In this interview, we talk a lot about medical appointments and conditions and experiences we had with our own children with food allergies and intolerances. We discuss our children and the conversations we had with their doctors.  Please remember that each case and each child is unique and nothing we speak about in this podcast should be taken as medical advice to treat, cure, or diagnose any possible disease or condition. If you have concerns about your child’s health you should call and speak with your pediatrician immediately. Remember this podcast is a place for moms to vent and discuss our shared experiences to let other moms know they are not alone. 

I hope you enjoy and if you have concerns about your child’s health that this gives you the confidence to reach out to your child’s doctor without fear of being labeled that crazy mom who calls about every bump and bruise, every rash, and every different diaper. No one knows your child better than you and no one can be a better advocate for your child than you.
