Welcome back to episode 2. In this episode I explain the difference between IgE-mediated food allergy, non IgE mediated food allergy and mixed IgE and non IgE food allergy and I also talk about the immune mechanism that underlies an allergic reaction and what the methods are to diagnosing food allergy with a specific focus on IgE-mediated food allergy in this episode. I also share stories along the way of my personal experiences. If you would like to find out more please do visit my blog post which will detail everything that was discussed in the podcast.
