New Diagnostic Guidelines for Food Allergies

The American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI) released new guidelines on the diagnosis and management of food allergies today. The guidlines represent a consensus between many different medical associations and government agencies about best way to diagnose and manage food allergies.

This is first set of agreed-upon guidelines, and so is a big step in standardizing care for people with food allergies. Make sure your doctor or allergist has a copy of the new guidelines.
