Using an Egg Ladder for Babies with Egg Allergy with Carina Venter, PhD, RD

#124: What if your baby has had an allergic reaction to egg? Is there ever the option that the baby can eat eggs again? Yes. And an egg ladder may help. Carina Venter, noted allergy researcher and dietitian is joining me to talk about using an egg ladder for babies with egg allergy. She is a member of the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Guidelines Group who recently published revised guidelines on the prevention and development of food allergy in infants and young children. In this episode Carina is talking about why ladders are used more frequently outside of the US than in (she also published the first ever ladder for dairy, the MAP and subsequent iMAP) and how to talk to your practitioner if they’ve never heard of an egg ladder but you are interested in using an egg ladder. Be sure to check the shownotes for this episode for all of the research documents and guidelines Carina is mentioning in this episode. It’s a lot. But if your baby has an egg allergy I think you’re really going to appreciate this interview with Carina Venter, PhD, RD.
