The Food Allergy Talk Podcast

💥 NEW blog post on WebMD! 💥

Have you ever had others compare your/your child’s food allergy management to someone else they know?

Have you ever been witness to online or social media battles of two different ways to manage food allergy?

Could differing sides be in fact different, yet also both be right? Absolutely! Let’s talk about it…

“The Comparison Trap: No Two Food Allergy Individuals Are the Same”

An excerpt:

“There Is No One-Size-Fits-All Approach

Take this already confusing situation and add in other genetic as well as existing conditions such as autism, asthma, diabetes, or even eczema. In addition to food allergies, the health landscape for each food-allergic individual is very subjective and not a one-size-fits-all diagnosis, nor can the approach to management be anything other than unique. Combine this with additional personalized factors that inevitably vary from person to person in everything from social to economic, and everything in between.

These very real, very factual differences will create varying choices in relation to food allergy management, including but not limited to:

*Keeping food allergens in the home vs. not

*Participating in food allergy therapy treatments vs. not

*Sitting at a food allergy-designated table at school vs. not

*Consuming foods labeled with “may contains” vs. not”…

“The Aftermath of a Food Allergy Anaphylactic Reaction”

An excerpt:

“The First Anaphylactic Reaction

He has experienced two anaphylactic reactions. One was to peanut that led to an ER visit, and eventual peanut diagnosis, and the other led to another ER visit and confirmation of garlic allergy. 

He had several “minor” reactions to peanut from about 8 months old until about 18 months old. We were young parents in early 2000, and there just wasn’t the education and awareness that exist today. We didn’t realize that food allergies are unpredictable. What caused a mild reaction in the past may cause an anaphylactic reaction in the future, and vice versa.”

As a way to continue to bring education, awareness and support to the food allergy community I have created a group for us to build and foster COMMUNITY together.

I love sharing on social media, as well as on my podcast. So many times though I’d love to carry that conversation over… and now we can 🩷🩵🤍

However, I'd love to interact with each of you more, as well as have you "meet" and support one another - COMMUNITY!

As a holistic nutritionist, I focus on the whole person. There is much to be said about the health of the whole person by means of support, connection, and COMMUNITY.

I hope that The Food Allergy P.I. COMMUNITY on Facebook will grow to be that for YOU!

To have a little fun in getting this group going and growing - I'm giving a 💰50 Sprouts 🌱 Farmers Market gift card away Friday December 8th, 2023.

Look BEFORE Friday for the Sprouts Farmer's Market giveaway post in that group for details. Winner announced Saturday 12/9 🛒 💰

Pearson's mint patties contain peanut and the individual packs are not labeled. Imagine them in a bowl.
Always read labels and if not there insist on the original packaging or do not eat. Words to live by!!

Exciting news! Scientists have reversed food allergies in mice by targeting the gut microbiome.

People prone to food allergies tend to have a less diverse community of microbiomes from those without allergies.

This causes the gut bacteria to become imbalanced.

Butyrates are metabolites that foster the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut and maintain its lining.

But how does this affect the gut microbiome?

When the gut microbiome lacks the butyrate-producing bacteria, fragments of partially digested food can leak out of the gut and wreak havoc on the immune system.

This "attack" can cause allergic reactions and other ailments.

Instead of restoring the missing bacteria, researchers decided it was far more beneficial to deliver the metabolites straight to the gut.

Laboratory mice were administered micelles in their ill-functioning guts and the treatment restored their gut’s protective barrier and microbiome.

Most importantly, the treatment prevented a life-threatening anaphylactic response when the mice were exposed to peanuts.

Researchers noted that this type of therapy is not antigen-specific, so in theory, it could be broadly applied to any food allergies through the modulation of gut health.

Trials will begin in larger animals next, followed by clinical trials.

If the trials are successful, and the FDA approves the oral treatment, the micelles could potentially be marketed in small packets. Consumers would tear open a packet and stir the contents into a beverage. Reachers are also investigating delivery via injection.

We are hopeful that this is the beginning of something incredible for the food allergy community. How do you feel about these findings?
