Food Allergies Impact More Than Just What You Eat

They affect your child's safety, your family's routines,and everyday moments that should feel simple —like school lunches, birthday parties, and eating out.

It's overwhelming. It's exhausting. And it can feel isolating.

You don't have to navigate it alone anymore.

Food Allergy Facts

You Are Not Alone

Current statistics from publicly available, reputable sources — the CDC-supported FARE National Indicator Report and NIH-funded research.

Every 10 seconds

a food allergy reaction sends someone to the emergency room in the U.S. — about 3.4 million ER visits each year. A clear, practiced action plan makes all the difference.

More than 40% of children with food allergies have had a severe reaction such as anaphylaxis.
Emergency treatment for food anaphylaxis rose 377% between 2007 and 2016.
Epinephrine within minutes is critical — and more than one dose may be needed.

The Big 9

Nine foods cause about 90% of food allergic reactions in the U.S. and are the “major food allergens” that labels must declare (sesame joined the list under the FASTER Act):

33 million

Americans live with food allergy — about 1 in 10 adults and 1 in 13 children. That's roughly two students in every classroom.

5.6 million of them are children — nearly 8% of all kids.
About 40% of children with food allergies are allergic to more than one food.
Childhood prevalence rose 50% between 2007 and 2021, after rising 50% in the decade before.

Erica L. Elliott, FNP-C

Clarity, Confidence, and Care for Every Allergy Journey

Hello, I'm Erica L. Elliott, a Family Nurse Practitioner with Full Practice Authority in Illinois and the founder of Alleviate Allergy Clinic. With over 15 years of experience as a Nurse Practitioner and 6 years dedicated to evidence-based allergy research, I specialize in helping children and families navigate complex food and environmental allergies with clarity and confidence.

My passion for this work is deeply personal. My son has experienced severe, life-threatening food allergies since infancy, including multiple anaphylactic reactions. Walking this journey as both a clinician and a mother has given me a unique understanding of how overwhelming and isolating food allergies can feel.

At Alleviate Allergy Clinic, I provide personalized, concierge-style telehealth care for families in the Kane County Tri-Cities and surrounding communities. My approach is pediatric- and family-centered, focusing on root-cause exploration, nutrition guidance, symptom relief, and practical strategies to help your child feel safe, included, and well.

You don't have to navigate this alone — I'm here to walk alongside you every step of the way.
