Tapioca is Cassava starch, it's not a grain, soy product, or citrus so it should cause no issues with your friends. Just make sure there aren't any additives to the tapioca that could cause a reaction, for instance citric acid as a preservative.

How can I help someone with severe allergies?

Antihistamines can help relieve sneezing, itching, a stuffy or runny nose, and watery eyes. Examples of oral antihistamines include cetirizine (Zyrtec Allergy), fexofenadine (Allegra Allergy) and loratadine (Claritin, Alavert). Corticosteroid nasal sprays. These medications improve nasal symptoms.

How do you deal with someone is having allergic reaction?

Immediately call 911 or your local medical emergency number. Ask the person if he or she is carrying an epinephrine autoinjector (EpiPen, Auvi-Q, others) to treat an allergic attack. If the person says he or she needs to use an autoinjector, ask whether you should help inject the medication.
