Abstract
Food allergy is increasing in frequency and so is the misunderstanding of what constitutes a true food allergy. This article will review basic concepts of classic IgE reactions to food as well as discuss some that occur through other mechanisms. The importance of a detailed history is emphasized. Information is provided on optimal evaluation, interpretation of results and treatment of these potentially life-threatening reactions. Finally the role an allergist can play in co-management is discussed.Entities:
