FightAlpha-Gal

I’m Tara, a wife, athlete, and mom who has been navigating life with Alpha-Gal for the past 5  years. Bit by a Lone Star tick in Oklahoma in August 2019, I went through many months of hives, severe gastrointestinal distress, and many episodes of near anaphylaxis before being diagnosed with Alpha-Gal.  At that time, the allergists and doctors were not well-informed and I had to do much of the research myself and through the small Alpha-Gal community.  I personally, know how scary and desperate I felt going through this condition alone, and advocating for myself when the traditional medical community was of little help.  Through the help of holistic practitioners, a brand new diet, and seeking out answers, I was able to find a lifestyle that I was able to thrive in.
