So in practice, what would you say are the challenges to managing cow's milk protein allergy in minority groups?

Kiran AtwalGUEST
It really depends on the individual in front of you and not the fixed identity that's assigned to them by society.

Kiran AtwalGUEST
And a quote that really resonated with me, which was one, um, I came across in a paper about South Asian parents managing food allergy, but really applies to any group, is that when we look at people from different ethnic minority groups, they're not a homogenous group, and factors such as social class, dietary practices, religion, and migration history are really important.

Kiran AtwalGUEST
And whether parents speak English, whether they're first, second, third generation migrants or have sufficient health literacy are also some of the important things to understand, which I wrote about in my article.

Kiran AtwalGUEST
And for dieticians, it's actually really important to remember it's more than just knowing about the dietary customs that belong to each ethnic minority group.

Kiran AtwalGUEST
If we start to think about some of the structural barriers of the consultation, um, language barrier can be a challenge.

Kiran AtwalGUEST
So if you think about cow's milk protein allergy and the management of it, it's a lot of complex information that you have to convey.
