The Food Allergy Maze

My exclusively breastfed son was diagnosed with 12 food allergies in infancy, so my experiences with true food allergies were filled with fear and worry. Learning from a half dozen allergists all over the US, I work clinically and personally with food allergies, sensitivities, and intolerances. These terms are often used interchangeably, but they are not the same thing. It is important to understand the definitions, treatment approaches, and potential outcomes for each of these conditions.
