Frequently Asked Questions
We greatly appreciate our readers' loyal support and look forward to bringing you an exceptional new e-magazine. Following are answers to key questions.
– Gwen Smith, Allergic Living Editor
- Why are you discontinuing the print Allergic Living magazine?
Allergic Living's shift to a fully digital format relates to people increasingly using their mobile devices to get news and information. Our readers often ask us for the convenience of phone/mobile access to our articles, many of which have only run in the magazine. In turn, the digital format allows us to create interactive features such as podcasts and better serve readers.
The movement away from print is also a reality all publishers are addressing as advertisers increasingly show greater interest in digital than print. At the same time, costs of printing and distribution have grown significantly. The print model has become challenging to sustain.
Lastly, at Allergic Living we're passionate about our mission as the leading source of food allergy news and feature coverage. Spending less on the increasing costs of a print publication allows us to put more resources into bringing our readers great coverage – both in the new special edition e-magazine and on Allergicliving.com.
- What type of content is in the new Allergic Living e-magazine?
The special edition e-magazine is designed as an insightful and helpful publication. It is, however, different from the former Allergic Living print magazine. Each special edition is a standalone "big topic" guide, investigating a hot-button area of allergic life from a number of challenging angles and solutions.
For instance, e-magazine No. 1 focuses on a hugely important area: "Food Allergy Anxiety." Articles include: helping children to break through food allergy fears, guiding you to a place of calm control, actionable expert advice, and plenty of frank discussion from families, teens and adults.
The format of the Allergic Living e-magazine is a magazine-style flipbook, which is responsive across mobile devices. Readers still find Allergic Living's quality, in-depth reporting, but there are innovations, including podcasts and interactivity.
- What happened to my subscription if there are no more print magazines?
The print magazine ended with the Spring 2019 edition. As mentioned in our correspondence with readers, print magazine subscriptions shifted automatically to the new series of Allergic Living special edition e-magazines. With each edition, we email you a notification with a link and access instructions.
As a subscriber, you will receive access to the same number of e-magazines as you would have received of the print magazine. The e-magazine will cost others $7.95 per edition and will be sold on a per-issue-basis, rather than subscription.
Although you will have paid less per issue within a subscription, you will face no additional charge.
If you have other questions, email us at: readersupport@allergicliving.com
- How will I know when a new e-magazine becomes available and access it?
As each new Allergic Living special edition e-magazine is published on Allergicliving.com, we email subscribers and other purchasers. A link and instructions to access the publication is included.
- After I read my first special edition e-magazine, what happens if I don’t like it?
Subscribers to the former print magazine certainly can cancel, the same as with print magazine. Money is refunded based on the value of the issues remaining on the subscription.
That said, if you have enjoyed Allergic Living writers' work in the past, know that we plan to continue our strong reporting and to produce an excellent series of e-magazines. We appreciate our subscribers' support – and hope you will give the new format a chance.

- For non-subscribers, what does the Allergic Living e-magazine cost? Is it shareable?
The e-magazine costs $7.95 per edition and is being sold on a per-issue basis.
To support the quality journalism we produce, we are charging this modest amount per issue. The e-magazines are behind a paywall, so payment is required for access.
But we appreciate our readers telling friends about the new Allergic Living special edition e-magazine. Please do share news of it with the link to the ordering page. The more successful the digital publications are, the more journalism we can undertake.
- Do the e-magazines work on my mobile phone or tablet?
Yes, they are in a convenient flipbook format, which is responsive on mobile devices.
- I recently renewed my print subscription by mail, but I don't think my check was cashed.
You will have received an email from info@allergicliving.com for information on the status of a recent mail renewal. Or email our subscription department at readersupport@allergicliving.com, mention your check wasn't cashed and include a phone number.
- Can I subscribe in the future for multiple Allergic Living e-magazines?
No, since we've adopted a different ordering model. After current subscribers have received the e-magazines owed from a former print subscription, Allergic Living e-magazines will then be available for purchase one at a time.
This reduces administrative work and costs, and is a reasonable price for the quality of publication that's being produced.
