Allergist

I'm your host, Dr. Alice Hoyt.

Being engaged with a board-certified allergist who does have passion for food allergy management can really help improve you and your family's quality of life.

Hello and welcome to Food Allergy and Your Kiddo.

I'm your host, Dr. Alice Hoyt, and I am very excited to finally have on the podcast one of my friends and colleagues, Dr. Mike Pissner.

And so you were getting at also that kids spend a lot of time in school.

So it's about over a thousand hours a year a kid is in school and we're relying on the school community to take care of our kids.

Now, pediatricians and pediatric allergists, we have... 30 to 60 minutes of interaction with our families and our patients a year.

And so there's so much more to taking care of a kid with a food allergy for a pediatrician or for a pediatric allergist than the time that they're within our offices or even the time that they're in within their own homes.

Any questions pertaining to one's own health should always be discussed with their personal physician.

The Find an Allergist search engine on the academy website is a useful tool to locate a listing of board-certified allergists in your area.

Thank you again for listening.

Hello, I'm Dr. Mariam Hanna, and this is The Allergist, a show that separates myth from medicine, deciphering allergies and understanding the immune system.

I sat for dinner with a room full of gastroenterologists and allergists and had the most intriguing conversation and reluctance for long-term management for patients with EOE when there's seemingly amongst gastroenterologists no reluctance to treat their IBD patients long-term.

So here I was, scratching my head, and I guess one causes strictures and bad things like fistulas and cancer, and the other one, well, what about remodeling everyone? Do we know if everyone is impacted with remodeling? Can you predict to what degree? Or do we still not know enough, and will we miss an opportunity for our pediatric patients specifically in 10 to 20 years from now? Are we going to regret this moment? Then the appetizers came around and the conversation in the room flipped to elimination diets.

So please like ask the question and then do something about it and then follow up on the answer.

Perfect.

Thank you, Dr. Savas, for joining us on today's episode of The Allergist.

My pleasure.

Thank you.
