Sensitization does not mean allergy. True food allergy is something much smaller. Without a clinical history of reaction, you don't end up at a diagnosis. So that panel food test you just asked for is just a terrible, terrible idea... https://t.co/3ojKXrYDAS @DrDougMackMD

This important research has been published by colleagues at Imperial College in London, using huge primary care databases to look at the changes in rates of #foodallergy in the 10 year period from 2008 to 2018.

Allergy London’s Professor @DrAdamFox talks about this further and shares:

“We already know from previous work from this group, looking at the same period, that it saw a very significant increase in the number of severe allergic reactions presenting to A&E departments.

This new data reveals some remarkable findings...

1️⃣A marked increase in the number of people suffering from food allergy, with the main increase being in pre-school children. Overall, the prevalence of food allergy increased from 0.4% of the population in 2008 to 1.1% in 2018 with the highest prevalence of 4.0% in pre-school children in 2018. 0.7% of adults had a food allergy in 2018.

2️⃣Worryingly, in those with previous food anaphylaxis, only 58.3% of the children and young people and 54.8% had a prescription for adrenaline autoinjector. This is in direct contradiction of NICE guidelines for managing those at risk of anaphylaxis. Adrenaline autoinjectors prescription was less common in those resident in more deprived areas suggesting important health inequalities.

3️⃣Also of concern, 88.4% of food allergy were patients managed exclusively in primary care, meaning they have likely limited access to new treatment options or specialist dietetic or psychological input.”

Sharon Chinthrajah: Watchful waiting rather than go directly to ED instruction after “anaphylaxis”? But can we agree when this is appropriate? #eaaci2024

Feeding your infant peanuts regularly until the age of 5 reduces their risk of peanut allergy.
The BSACI has guidance about preventing food allergies in infants.

“A big step forward… I am truly inspired by the unwavering dedication of the @BenedictBlytheF as well as the other Allergy charities - as this week the Prime Minister responded to their campaign for meaningful government action to be taken to safeguard children with food allergies in schools.” - A comment from Allergy London’s Professor @drAdamFox #ProtectPupilswithAllergies
