💡 What you'll learn:

•      The difference between food allergy (IgE and non-IgE) and food intolerance, including how quickly reactions occur and whether they're life-threatening

•      Which reactions can be diagnosed with blood or skin prick tests, and why food elimination and reintroduction is the only way to diagnose intolerance and non-IgE allergy

•      Why IgG testing is not evidence-based and should be avoided

•      The difference between wheat allergy, coeliac disease, and wheat (fructan) intolerance

•      The difference between dairy allergy and lactose intolerance, and why lactose intolerance does not mean a fully dairy-free diet

•      What to expect from an allergy specialist dietitian assessment, and when allergy tests are genuinely useful
