Updating knowledge about food allergy: critical needs for the practicing clinician

Food allergy has become a major part of the practice of allergy and immunology, necessitating that the allergist/immunologist remain current on the most cutting edge knowledge in patient management and research. We also need to be equipped to answer the “million dollar questions,” such as why food allergies are on the rise, and can food allergies be treated. Allergy/Immunology clinicians need to separate the “haves” from the “have nots” – that is, defining the patients who have food allergies, from those who think they have food aller gies, but in reality they do not.
