Hosted by the BDA Food Allergy Specialist Group
Join us for an exciting update on the latest developments in food allergy management and dietetic practice across paediatric and adults.
Study day overview
Following an introduction the session will be chaired by Ruth Chalmers and Rachel De Boer. Attendees will hear about the latest research on milk and egg ladders in paediatrics and a review of current knowledge on adult milk and egg allergy. A series of quick-fire presentations highlighted new resources and research, including an allergy prevention weaning booklet, parental perceptions of allergen introduction, and the implementation of Benedict’s Law in dietetic practice will follow before a brief comfort break. Then Professor Fox will discuss 5 papers, before exploring how dietitian supplementary prescribing can be successfully utilised in paediatric allergy. The day will conclude with an update on Food Protein-Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome (FPIES), focusing on recent developments and their implications for clinical practice.
Overall, the programme provided a comprehensive overview of current evidence, emerging research, and practical strategies to support dietitians working in allergy services.
