Course Information:
Adverse food reactions, including food allergies, have diverse clinical signs with gastrointestinal and/or cutaneous manifestations. In this course we discuss the classification, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management of adverse food reactions. We will primarily focus on nutritional management and will discuss diagnostic food trials for the different types of adverse food reactions, gastrointestinal and cutaneous. We will review how to identify nutrients of concern for both gastrointestinal adverse food reactions and cutaneous adverse food reactions and how these nutrients of concern impact dietary management. Feeding strategies, diet selection, and case management will also be discussed. To earn a certificate of completion the participant must complete all learning modules and score 80% or better on the end-of-course test. Completion of the course will take a minimum of 111 minutes. Participants must complete the participation requirements by April 30, 2025 to be eligible for a certificate.
