In this 2-part podcast series we review food allergies. Part 1 reviews what food allergies are and what they are not. We highlight the most common allergens and how to recognize a food allergy. We also discuss testing and management of food allergies. In part 2 we are joined by Robyn Lao, a pediatric nurse practitioner and mom of a child with food allergies to discuss living with food allergies, parenting tips and some of the amazing advocacy work her family has been doing for people living with food allergies in California.

We would like to thank Robyn Huey Lao for joining us for this episode, and Dr. Erika Cherk - pediatric allergy immunology fellow for reviewing the content, although Drs. Lena and Dean take responsibility for any errors or misinformation.
