Recorded Webinar: The Keys to Preventing Food Allergies (Part 1)

Recorded Webinar | Part 1 of 3 | The Keys to Preventing Food Allergies
This webinar was presented on Thursday, November 14, 2019 from 2-3 p.m. ET.

Dietitians and nutrition professionals get relatively little, if any, exposure to food allergy management during training. Professionals need to understand the risks for nutritional deficiencies due to the over-restriction of foods and the impact food allergies have on a client’s quality of life. As a result, miseducation and misunderstanding is common, and is proven by the promotion of non-evidence-based approaches to dealing with clients who have adverse food reactions.

Join Sherry Coleman Collins, MS, RDN, LD, as she discusses how RDNs and others in the nutrition discipline can better understand the strengths and weaknesses of current food allergy diagnostic methods; how food allergies develop; and interventions that may reduce risk.

Learning Objectives

After completing this continuing education course, nutrition professionals should be able to:

  1. Direct parents and patients using the latest guidelines for nutrition intervention to prevent food allergies, obtain an accurate food allergy diagnosis, and successfully manage food allergies.
  2. Implement an evidence-based approach as they educate patients in order to reduce the risk of food allergy reactions while protecting quality of life.
  3. Understand and use the appropriate educational approaches and techniques to teach families, pediatric patients, or adult patients about successful food allergy management.
