Newswise — A new study in Pediatrics finds 8 percent of children have food allergies, much higher that previously reported.
Allergist Dr. Stanley Fineman, president-elect of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, can provide an allergist’s perspective on the study’s findings, including:• The study’s limitations and issues surrounding self-reporting of food allergies• The importance of correctly diagnosing and treating food allergies• How parents should approach their child’s food allergy or possible food allergies• How allergists treat food allergies
For information on food allergies or to find an allergist, visit www.AllergyAndAsthmaRelief.org, along with an allergist locator.
The Pediatrics study is embargoed until Monday, June 20, at 12:01 a.m. Eastern time.
