Approximately 10% of U.S. adults have a food allergy, and nearly twice as many adults believe they have a food allergy. Of children, 8% have a food allergy, and 40 % have multiple food allergies. Plus, food intolerance affects 15% to 20% of the population. This comprehensive CPE program will enable you to get up-to-date on this widespread and growing public health problem. More specifically it will enable you to:
- Provide expert dietary management of food allergies and intolerances in accordance with evidence-based recommendations.
- Counsel parents on the critical importance and safety of the new guidelines for the early introduction of allergenic foods, viz. peanut.
- Offer expert advice on the potential benefits of selected dietary supplements in the management and prevention of food allergies and intolerances.
- Compare and differentiate celiac disease, non-celiac gluten sensitivity, and wheat allergy.
- Describe allergic conditions associated with a food allergy, including eosinophilic esophagitis and food-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis.
