Food Allergies & Food Intolerances

Course Description & Information:

• Nearly everyone at some point will experience either a food allergy or a food intolerance. When people have an unpleasant reaction to something they ate, they often think that they have an allergy to the food. Actually, however, only about 3% of adults and 6%-8% of children have clinically proven true allergic reactions to food. This course covers common food allergies and food intolerance and distinguishes between the two. Current research is reviewed for the most common food allergies and current treatment recommendations are discussed.
