I thought I'd start #FoodAllergyAwarenessWeek by describing how I (a board certified pediatric allergist) establish the diagnosis of #foodallergy.

This is a life altering diagnosis & it's important to get it right;unfortunately many are misdiagnosed. Follow this thread ⬇️ #FAAW
When I first meet a family with concern about #foodallergy, I introduce myself 😁 and ask "How can I help you today?". Then I let them talk...uninterrupted.

I then learn what concerns they have and gain insight into foods, symptoms, etc. #FoodAllergyAwarenessWeek
The clinical history is the MOST important test in diagnosing #foodallergy. I need to know:
What foods cause concern
Timing of symptom onset
Types of symptoms
Duration
Treatment?
Does it happen every time
