Re: Food Allergy Awareness: Does Exposure to Food Allergens Affect Outgrowing?

Heddi6/26/135:09 PM

Thanks for providing this information. By the way, the link you've shared appears to be incorrect. I found the guideline listed above in: Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Food Allergy in the United States: Summary of the NIAID-sponsored Expert Panel Report (p. 9, 3.7).

Both are accurate references for the NIH Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Food ...

Re: AAFA’s Ask the Allergist: Are Cast Iron Pans Safe for Food Allergies?

StephC1/18/1810:16 AM

❤️

We use cast iron daily, and sometimes cook dairy and eggs in them (two of my 13 year old son's allergens.) Washing cast iron with soap and water automatically requires heat-drying and wiping with an oil once cooled. We do this daily; it's not technically "reseasoning;" it's just proper rust prevention. My family has done this since my childhood; I'm 47. I still use one of my father's skillets. Even if a pan totally rusts over, a simple scrubbing in soap and water with steel wool removes the...

Re: Ask the Allergist: Can You Have Anaphylaxis to a Food You Haven't Eaten in a While?

ToniMareeC7/14/204:13 PM

👍

Thanks for the info! Just wondering - in the example of peanut, I’ve been told to continue to give a teaspoonful twice a week (After we cautiously introduced it without any issues).. Is there any info to suggest it would matter if you give less than this, or if the teaspoonful is somewhat spread throughout the day/over a few days? (Babies can be so temperamental with eating!). Would you suggest doing this also with fish and legumes (giving them twice weekly)? (my baby is allergic to eggs,...

Re: Ask the Allergist: Can You Have Anaphylaxis to a Food You Haven't Eaten in a While?

Kathy P7/14/207:58 PM

That's a great questions ToniMareeC! The main studies have been regarding the introductions of peanuts and there hasn't been a lot of new information released since the 2017 studies. I did find this from the American Academy of Pediatrics: One thing to keep in mind is that all kids are different. It's always best to check in with your child's doctor about food introductions especially since your child has a history of food allergies.

I'm definitely looking forward to hearing more about what's new in the food allergy world for kids. It can be hard to keep up with all of the information out there so hearing from an expert on the latest research is a can't miss opportunity.
