How to Have a Magical Disney Vacation with Pixie Lizzie's Disney Planning Tips
Food Allergy and Your Kiddo

Calling all Disney World fans!
If you've ever been to Walt Disney World, then you know that a lot of planning goes into those magical memories. And if you have food allergy and haven't been to Disney lately, then, oh, boy, have we got a treat in store for you.
Our families love going to Disney because we know that we will have LOT OF SAFE FOOD OPTIONS without having to look too hard and without getting "the look" from the wait staff - ahem, cast members (the official term for Disney employees). In planning upcoming trips, we thought it'd be great to have an authorized Disney travel planner with a FOCUS ON FOOD ALLERGY share her tips with you!
So tune into this episode in which we interview Lizzie Reynolds, aka Pixie Lizzie, of Allergy Free Mouse and her own travel company Pixie Lizzie. In addition to food allergy-focused guidance, here are a few tips you'll learn about in this episode!
- Know the weather and time of year you're planning your trip (50 degrees in Florida feels so different from 50 degrees elsewhere!)
- Know the parks you want to visit during the time there
- Consider working with an authorized Disney vacation planner, many of whom (like Lizzie) are NO CHARGE FOR THE TRAVELERS (planners get $ from Disney!)
Oh, and also, Pixie Lizzie shares awesome information about the chefs and the food allergy-friendly menus at Disney.
There's just so much great content packed into this under 30-minute show!
"See ya real soon!"
- Pam and Dr. Hoyt

Eating safely at restaurants despite food allergy - can OIT help?
Food Allergy and Your Kiddo

What topic would you like discussed? Text us!
Eating away from home is one of the most stressful situations food allergy families can experience. No matter how much you trust the restaurant and how fantastic its people are, the worry of allergen accidentally getting into your kiddo's food is always there to some degree.
And how much of that allergen would cause an allergic reaction? A microgram? A milligram?
In this episode, I go through the super interesting article "Risk of shared equipment in restaurants for consumers with peanut allergy: a simulation for preparing Asian foods" from the peer-reviewed journal Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, the journal of the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology.
Relevant here is immunotherapy, such as oral immunotherapy (OIT). Immunotherapy can make kiddos with food allergy more tolerant of the allergen. This means a kiddo would be less likely to have an allergic reaction when ingesting allergen.
But does that tolerance translate into real world benefits, like improving safety while eating at a restaurant? Tune in to this episode to hear what this article's researchers found!
And visit the infoblog for the link to the article and more information on safe eating strategies and on immunotherapy!
And, of course, Merry Christmas!

Peanut Challenges in Babies - What You Need to Know!
Food Allergy and Your Kiddo
08/13/20 • 28 min
What topic would you like discussed? Text us!
You've probably heard about doctors recommending babies eat peanut to prevent peanut allergy. This is a major shift from the recommendation made 20 years ago which recommended babies avoid this potentially allergenic food. Allergists did not have much evidence upon which to make that recommendation.
But now we have evidence that supports actually introducing peanut - in an age-appropriate, safe way - to babies who are at risk of peanut allergy as a way of preventing the development of peanut allergy. And in some babies who have already developed a peanut allergy, peanut products may be used to teach the immune system to tolerate peanut.
Does all this sound confusing? Tune in to this episode where I discuss with my friend and colleague - Dr. Jackie Bjelac - how peanut can be introduced to at-risk babies, and we go into detail about what to expect at a "food challenge."
Also, learn more on the accompanying infoblog where you can find the Food Challenge Checklist!

Food allergy prevention and feeding babies potentially allergenic foods... what does the evidence say?
Food Allergy and Your Kiddo
12/10/20 • 48 min
What topic would you like discussed? Text us!
Recommendations for when to feed babies certain foods have changed over the years. You may have had one set of recommendations for one child, then with another child, you had different recommendations! So when should babies first have foods like scrambled eggs and peanut butter?
We know that early introduction of potentially allergenic foods can certainly help prevent allergy in some children. But how does that actually translate out into practice? How does that directly affect families?
Tune into this podcast with food allergy expert Dr. Brian Schroer, Director of Allergy and Immunology at Akron Children's Hospital, as Pam and I discuss with him his fantastic article “Practical challenges and considerations for early introduction of potential food allergens for prevention of food allergy,” from the peer-reviewed Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice.

Positive allergy skin and blood testing doesn't confirm allergy!

Yep, you read that title right...
A positive skin and/or blood test does not necessarily mean a person has an allergy.
"But, why not?" you may be wondering.
Tune into this episode of the Food Allergy and Your Kiddo Podcast where I discuss food allergy, immune tolerance, and how the immune system is like a teeter-totter!
Check out this episode's blog post, where you can access earlier blog posts on immune tolerance as well as an awesome video about allergy antibodies.
