Summary: 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 presentation on this topic would be complete without discussion of food intolerance and sensitivity as well.

Registration is FREE, and a recording of the webinar will be sent to all registered attendees.

Please send questions in advance to Karie Mulkowsky at kmulkowsky@foodallergy.org.
