The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology has recently issued The Food Allergy Stages handouts to help families manage food allergies and teach children about food allergies. Dr. Anitha Shrikhande and Dr. Theresa Bingemann, two allergists serving on our Medical Advisory Board were instrumental in the creation and distribution of this timely information with AAAI.
