WEBINAR: Non-IgE-Mediated Food Allergies Are Real and VERY Misunderstood
This webinar will discuss types of food allergy that differ from the immediate-onset reactions that are triggered by IgE antibodies and can result in anaphylaxis.
These non-IgE-mediated food allergies include food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES), eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and various forms of cow’s milk protein allergy, among others. Confusion regarding non-IgE-mediated food allergies can delay proper diagnosis or lead to unnecessary dietary avoidance. This webinar will discuss important differences between IgE-mediated and non-IgE-mediated food allergies, such as underlying causes, diagnostic testing, management, prognosis and risks. No discussion on this topic would be complete without discussion of food intolerance and sensitivity as well.
FARE is a Continuing Professional Education (CPE) Accredited provider with the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR). CDR Credentialed Practitioners will receive one Continuing Professional Education unit (CPEU) for completion of this course.
