So much research innovation in food allergy to get excited about💙.
Shellfish allergy is common, but got left behind in the race to food allergy therapies. Finally, tide's turning with: avoiding fewer seafood items; emerging methods of OIT (no more carrying cooked shrimp!) & key upcoming trial. Plus, Xolair's promise. See our intriguing report!.

One would think so, right? With food allergies rising globally, airline emergency medical kits should reflect the medical realities of the century we’re living in. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. See @AllergicLiving new chart comparing airlines’ allergy policies.Links to both.
@snufflewort @flairairlines @AllergicLiving Shouldn’t all airlines carry epinephrine? People can become allergic to something all of a sudden, which happened to me, and they wouldn’t be carrying any meds because they wouldn’t know they had an allergy.

Passengers with #foodallergies are loyal and repeat customers in a world full of choices- it takes so little and means so much - hats off @flairairlines 🎩🎩🎩.
Giving a massive shout out to @flairairlines for how they handled my kids’ nut allergy. They made 4 announcements to not eat nuts on the plane & didn’t sell their cashews. They did say their emergency box had no epinephrine, but we carry epi pens. #yyj @AllergicLiving #allergy

Food allergy is a multi-factorial disease and will likely have many potential treatments that will not work for everyone - this is not a case of one size fits all- looks like we have another factor to consider -stomach acid.The future becomes brighter with each new discovery.
Researchers found that kids with more stomach acid lost #OIT desensitization faster after skipping allergens than those with lower levels. Intriguing connections between the metabolic environment & immune system beg for further study. Learn: @UNC_SOM @UNC_Health_Care #foodallergy.

✈️ Food allergy safety on airlines must be inclusive, consistent, and grounded in respect for ALL allergies. Because of the name No Nut Traveler, people often assume my work is solely about nuts from flights. Yes, I’m a mother to a child with a severe.
