Insider secret to help as you sort through a story... when you hear... the NEXT DAY they developed symptom X. It is incredibly unlikely that this is an IgE-mediated reaction to a food.

It should come as no surprise that guidance provided in specialties with rapid advancements has changed dramatically over the past 2 decades. So your assumptions based on your anecdotal past experiences is (1) outdated and (2) simply wrong.
