Alpha-gal life
Welcome to Alpha-gal Living
For many of us, our first question is now what? An Alpha-gal Syndrome (AGS) diagnosis can be scary, overwhelming, and confusing. Learning to live with AGS can feel like an uphill climb with little margin for error. Many of us know exactly how you feel.

Your allergy isn’t like their allergy.
It has many names.
It’s the tick bite allergy, the red meat allergy, the mammalian meat allergy, the Alpha-gal allergy. A diagnosis means the same thing. We must now learn to avoid some of our most favorite foods and products and re-tool our routine activities. What’s not the same is how wildly different each of us has to manage life with Alpha-gal Syndrome.
Alpha-gal Living offers a safe space for those impacted by this sudden and dramatic life change. Join us to better understand this condition and replace fear and worry with hope and confidence.
Avoid triggers, not the food (and people) you love.
The social connections over food are cherished. When diagnosed with Alpha-gal Syndrome, your relationship with food totally changes. Many of us worry that those special times together will too.
Understanding how to avoid trigger foods, especially from “safe” choices, can let you focus on fun times and being with loved ones. We’re building a resource to help you steer away from the trickiest and sneakiest triggers.
