Medical Disclaimer

Effective November 7, 2026

In an emergency, call 911 and follow the emergency plan your doctor gave you. Use epinephrine as prescribed. Do not wait to check an app.

• Smidgen is built by parents, not doctors. BelAllergy (Belysa and Eduardo Inoa) is not a medical provider.
• Smidgen does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and does not replace your pediatrician, allergist, dermatologist, or clinic.
• Smidgen never calculates, recommends, or changes a dose. Every dose, medicine, and instruction shown comes from what a parent entered from their own clinic’s plan. Moving to a new dose is always a parent’s decision, made with the clinic.
• Check everything in Smidgen against your clinic’s original documents. If they differ, the clinic’s documents win.
• Starter checklists, menus, reminders, inventory estimates and any AI features, including recipes and suggested places, are conveniences. They can be wrong. Always read food labels, watch for cross-contact, and call ahead about allergies. No recipe or place is promised to be safe for anyone.
• Notifications can arrive late or not at all, because phones can delay or silence them. Don’t rely on a reminder alone for a dose or an appointment.
• The calendar’s projected step-up dates are estimates. Your clinic’s schedule decides.
• Food allergy treatments such as oral immunotherapy carry real risk of allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. Only do them under a qualified clinician’s supervision.
• Information shared by other families is their personal experience, not advice for your child.
• Smidgen is not affiliated with any clinic, hospital, treatment program, or manufacturer.
