Diagnosis of Food Allergies

“Diagnosis of Food Allergies,” a 40-minute video produced by FARE, offers in-depth presentations on how to recognize different types of adverse reactions to food and seek a medical diagnosis. The presentation first introduces adverse food reactions, including IgE-mediated food allergies that can cause life-threatening symptoms, several types of non-IgE-mediated food allergies, and food intolerances. This is followed by a description of diagnostic methods that are in use today as well as new diagnostic approaches that are under investigation.
