Food Allergies and Eczema: The Shocking Truth

A board-certified dermatologist explains the relationship between food allergies and eczema (atopic dermatitis). I uncover the common misconceptions about food allergies and how they relate to a compromised skin barrier as seen in eczema. I explore how our immune system differentiates between food (good guy) and pathogens (bad guys). I walk through the cause of food allergies and how food allergies such as peanut allergies start. I review some of the common food allergens and allergy-prone foods. I discuss allergy prevention strategies such as early introduction of common allergens. Finally, I offer some recommended early introduction products that may help prevent allergies in kids.
