Abstract
The field of food allergy is continually changing, with advances in clinical care to better understand the mechanisms of disease and in possible new diagnostics and treatment models. The development of several new guidelines that focus on improving the standardization of the diagnosis and management of food allergy has helped to further guide clinicians in providing optimized care for children and adults with food allergy around the world. Much of this work has been made possible through the collaborative efforts of advocacy organizations, industry, and government with clinicians and researchers in the fields of allergy and immunology. We have been able to advance our understanding of disease mechanisms and to help close gaps in knowledge and resolve misconceptions in the treatment of food allergy. This review will focus on the concepts of a holistic approach to food allergy that is working to improve CARE for subjects with food allergy, including new advances in clinical care, advocacy, research, and education.
