Join Dr. Danielle Belardo and her expert of the week, pediatric allergist and immunologist Dr. David Stukus, for a myth-busting episode about food allergies, intolerances, and "sensitivities." Danielle and David crack down on food "sensitivity" scams and unnecessary, unvalidated tests that people all over social media are falling victim to. Even allergies have a dark side, so tune in to learn what is fact and what is, simply, fiction.

Danielle and David discuss:

  • The basic terminology and meaning of food allergies, sensitivities, and intolerances
  • The difference between IgG and IgE and why IgG testing isn’t validated or accurate
  • Low histamine diets and the pseudoscience claims these diets make
  • How to use a trial, elimination, and reintroduction diet to discover food intolerances
  • Why an oral food challenge is the gold standard for allergy testing
  • Ways to find a provider to get an accurate allergy diagnosis
  • Red flags for spotting allergy misinformation on social media

David Stukus, MD, is a Professor of Clinical Pediatrics in the Division of Allergy and Immunology. Prior to becoming the director of the Food Allergy Treatment Center, Dr. Stukus started the Complex Asthma Clinic at Nationwide Children's Hospital in 2011, which treats children with severe or difficult-to-treat asthma. He holds multiple leadership positions in the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology (AAAAI) and the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology and is one of twelve allergists invited as a member of the Joint Task Force for Practice Parameters. He is the Social Media Medical Editor for the AAAAI, where he produces and hosts their podcast "Conversations From the World of Allergy." He has been named a Top Doctor in Pediatric Allergy every year since 2015.
