"New Guidance: Solving the Mystery of Food Allergy Prevention" - Ellen Karlin, MMSc, RDN, LDN, FADA

Lecture Summary: Food allergy is one of the most common chronic diseases of childhood. We now have recommendations for infant feeding, based on randomized controlled trials regarding the prevention of food allergy. However, the new guidance has created uncertainty, confusion and fear among our patients. Pregnant women and families with young children need guidance to help them to navigate through the challenges and barriers faced when introducing potential allergens into the diet of the infant and young child. This course will provide practical advice that you can share with your patients for food allergy prevention based on the newest guidance.
