Food Allergy Friday Newsletter
Dr. Alice Hoyt

 

Hello!

I hope you are having a great Friday!

In most of these newsletters, I am sharing with you recent food allergy news or discussing an issue that pediatricians, NPs, PAs, and/or families have asked me about. Today, I'd like to try something a little different!

I'd like to ask you what are you being asked by colleagues and families about food allergies? Especially those questions to which you might not have the most robust answer - but you would like more information. 

For the next newsletter, I will review your questions - along with a mix of questions I see on social media - and will provide evidence-based answers to these questions. 

And remember - this is food allergy. There are no silly questions!

Warmly,
Alice
