Let Babies Eat: New Guidelines to Prevent Food Allergies Link for CME Credit Coming Soon In this grand rounds episode of Pediatrics Now, host Holly Wayment brings us cutting-edge approaches to infant food introduction and allergy prevention, featuring Nationwide Children's Hospital's Dr. David Stukus . Dr. Stukus delves into the history of infant feeding guidelines, the evolving scientific evidence, and practical strategies for pediatric practitioners. Listeners will gain insights into the confusion caused by changing guidelines, the landmark LEAP trial's impact on peanut allergy prevention, and the importance of introducing allergenic foods early, based on evidence rather than outdated practices. The episode provides evidence-based recommendations to support parents, addressing common misconceptions and fears about food allergies. Join the discussion to better understand the relationship between eczema and food allergies, how to effectively reassure and guide families during clinics, and strategies to help pediatric patients achieve diverse diets that minimize allergy risks. Learn how pediatricians play a crucial role in educating families and preventing unnecessary dietary restrictions that can lead to food allergies. This episode is a must-listen for any healthcare professional looking to navigate the complexities of infant nutrition and allergy prevention with clarity and confidence.
Think diagnosing food allergies is as simple as running a test? Think again. Food allergy testing is a maze of gray areas, false positives, and, hopefully, a clear food allergy diagnosis. Navigating food allergy testing can feel overwhelming, with skin pricks, blood tests, and conflicting advice. How do you determine which tests are truly useful? How can you avoid unnecessary dietary restrictions from false results? In this episode, Dr. David Stukus, a board-certified allergist and immunologist, joins Dr. Gupta and Kortney to demystify the science of food allergy testing. From the importance of patient history to the latest diagnostic tools, Dr. Stukus provides clear guidance to help you make informed decisions while navigating food allergy testing. What we cover in our episode about food allergy testing The Crucial Role of History in Food Allergy Diagnosis: Dr. Stukus highlights why understanding a patient's reaction history (symptoms, timing, and context) is critical for guiding effective testing decisions. Choosing the Right Tests: We break down skin prick testing, blood tests like IgE and component testing, and innovations like epitope mapping. Dr. Stukus explains why IgG testing is untrustworthy and emphasizes oral food challenges as the gold standard for diagnosis. False Positives and Negatives: Learn why expert interpretation of test results is crucial and how overtesting can lead to unnecessary restrictions and confusion. When to See an Allergist: Practical advice on when to consult a specialist and what to expect during your visit for evidence-based care.

Facts and fiction can overlap in movies and television. That's especially prevalent in medical dramas where the details seem so real but often don't portray the full picture. While the intention may be to create powerful entertainment, sometimes a storyline can misinform the viewer. Unrealistic circumstances, overexaggerated outcomes and the bending of scientific truth, create confusion. When it comes to food allergies, how a situation is handled can be the difference between a routine medical occurrence and a lifesaving episode. “This is where we see some really dramatic portrayals because you generate that emotional kind of connection and we see it both from how reactions are portrayed inappropriately or very severe consequences or frankly people make fun of food allergies a lot,” David Stukus, MD, says. In this episode, we dig into how portrayals in the media landscape can impact patient families in the medical community. We are joined by Dr. Stukus, who is otherwise known as the allergy kids doc on social media. Dr. Stukus is the director of the Food Allergy Treatment Center at Nationwide Children's Hospital, as well as a professor of clinical pediatrics in the division of allergy and immunology. In addition, we have Vivian Hernandez-Trujillo, MD, with us. Dr. Hernandez-Trujillo is the director of the Division of Allergy and Immunology at Nicklaus Children's Hospital, as well as a clinical professor of pediatrics at Florida International University Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine. These two doctors are at the forefront of important conversations for change. “I honestly think education is just important. Once we're armed with accurate information, that's powerful. I can speak as a patient, as a mom of two girls with food allergies, and as someone who is a physician for patients with food allergies, my cup is always half full,” Dr. Hernandez-Trujillo says. This episode was recorded at the 2023 American Academy of Pediatrics National Conference and Exhibition. Some highlights from this episode include: Common examples of allergy inaccuracies within media The narrative around nut allergies How we remove the stigma around allergies and change how they are portrayed Undoing outdated practices and updating our information For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org

Food allergies are super common. According to the American College of Asthma and Immunology and the CDC, about 5% of kids and about 4% of adults are affected by food allergies. The allergic reactions can range from mild to severe and life threatening. Food allergy symptoms are most common in babies and children, but they can appear at any age. You can even develop an allergy to foods you have eaten for years with no problem (bummer). As we learned in our previous episode about Celiac Disease with Dr. Alessio Fasano, when we restrict people's diets, it can create a really stressful and isolating situation for them. How can we support people with food allergies? Can we treat the allergies? Are food allergies actually more prevalent now than they have been historically?
