Episode 15
Monday, 6 May, 2024
This episode of Eat Your Greens with Dr. Black delves into the complexities of food allergies, intolerances, and sensitivities in children, emphasizing the differences between them. A personal story from a mother, Carli, highlights the severe reaction (FPIES) her son had to oatmeal, underscoring the challenges parents face when dealing with uncommon food reactions. Dr. Black provides a comprehensive overview of food allergies, detailing how they're an immune response, typically immediate and potentially life-threatening, unlike food intolerances which result from digestive issues and are less severe. The episode also explores the concept of food sensitivity and its vague, non-specific symptoms. Misinformation and the exploitation of parents' concerns by the wellness industry are critiqued, particularly the misuse of IgG tests for diagnosing food allergies. Practical advice is given on diagnosing and managing food allergies and intolerances, with an emphasis on the importance of consulting healthcare professionals for accurate diagnosis and avoiding unnecessary dietary restrictions. Additionally, the discussion touches on the genetic and environmental factors contributing to food allergies, and the hopeful message that some food allergies can be outgrown. Finally, the talk highlights how adjustments in diet, based on solid medical advice, can improve symptoms and quality of life.Links for resources and information discussed in the episode:Food Allergy.orgNon-IgE-mediated gastrointestinal food allergyWhat is causing the rise in food allergy?
