This was a great article!  Very clear and concise descriptions and great presentation format!  This emphasis on the different types I've never seen stressed before.  It would be very helpful to further understanding by also knowing what is the percentage of IgE mediated vs. non-IgE mediated food allergies.  I hope that additional information can be posted in a comment or follow-up blog entry.  Thank you!
