What are “hidden food allergies,” and do they actually exist?

In Part 1 of this three-part series, Dr. Doug Jones is joined by allergists Dr. Farah Khan and Dr. Tom Chacko to break down the food allergy journey—from the first reaction to an accurate diagnosis. The conversation tackles common myths, social media misinformation, and the overuse of non-validated food tests.

You’ll learn:

• When food allergy testing is appropriate

• Why IgG “food sensitivity” tests aren’t evidence-based

• How skin tests and IgE blood tests should (and shouldn’t) be used

• Why allergy numbers don’t predict reaction severity

A must-listen for patients, parents, and clinicians looking for clarity over hype.
