About the Pediatric Food Allergy Series

Over the past decade, pediatric allergy prevention has shifted dramatically.

Following landmark trials like LEAP, we moved away from delaying allergen introduction toward early, regular exposure. As dietitians, we’ve been part of that shift, supporting families through complementary feeding and helping translate evolving evidence into practice.

And it’s working.

Early allergen introduction has been shown to significantly reduce the risk of developing food allergies.

But there’s still a gap.

Infants at highest risk are still not consistently identified or supported.
Families are navigating fear, uncertainty, and mixed messaging.
And many clinicians are left asking, what does this actually look like in practice?

This 3-part series brings together two allergists and one dietitian, to walk through the full continuum of care:

From prevention → to diagnosis and management → to one of the most challenging areas in practice: food trials and allergen reintroduction.

Because knowing the evidence is one thing.
Applying it with real families is another.

The Dietitian’s Role in Food Allergy Prevention and Management

This is where practice becomes individualized.

Identifying infants at higher risk isn’t always straightforward.
Conversations with families often carry fear and uncertainty.
And decisions around reintroduction don’t follow a single path.

Dietitians play a central role in navigating these moments.

We guide early feeding decisions.
We adapt recommendations based on risk, history, and family context.
And we work alongside family physicians, pediatricians and allergists to provide coordinated, practical care.

This series is designed to strengthen that role, so you can approach these decisions with clarity and confidence.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this series, you will be able to:

• Interpret emerging evidence on the long-term outcomes and clinical impact of early allergen introduction strategies

Speaker(s)

Session 1: Outcomes of Early Allergen Introduction: Shifting the Paradigm in Food Allergy Prevention

Dr. Farah Khan, MD, MS

Live: June 15, 2026 at 2 PM EDT

This session connects the evidence behind early allergen introduction with what families are experiencing today. While awareness has increased, hesitation remains, often driven by fear of allergic reactions and external influences.

Dr. Khan will review key research and focus on how to translate that evidence into meaningful, reassuring conversations with families.

You’ll learn how to:
• Review key trials and outcomes following early allergen introduction
• Understand how early introduction reduces the risk of food allergy
• Translate evidence into clear, practical guidance
• Address fear and hesitation around allergic reactions
• Navigate the emotional side of feeding decisions
• Respond to common concerns influenced by media and misinformation

Session 2: Role of the Allergist in Infant & Pediatric Food Allergy: A Practical Guide for Dietitians

Dr. Doug Mack, MSc, MD, FRCPC

Live: June 22, 2026 at 4 PM EDT

This session provides clarity on how food allergy is assessed and managed, and where the allergist fits within the care team.

You’ll gain a stronger understanding of testing, diagnosis, and how dietitians and allergists collaborate to support safe, effective care.

You’ll learn how to:
• Differentiate IgE-mediated, non-IgE, and mixed food allergy presentations
• Understand the role and limitations of testing (SPT, sIgE, component testing)
• Recognize oral food challenge as the diagnostic gold standard
• Identify when referral to an allergist is appropriate
• Understand how dietitians contribute to care alongside allergy management
• Strengthen collaboration and communication within the healthcare team

Session 3: The Challenges of Food Trials in Allergic Children

Heather Mileski, RD

Live: June 23, 2026 at 1 PM EDT

This session addresses one of the most challenging and practice-changing areas of pediatric nutrition: how to approach food trials and allergen reintroduction.

Building on the evolution of strategies such as milk ladders, Heather will focus on how to move beyond rigid protocols and develop individualized plans that reflect both clinical risk and family context.

You’ll learn how to:
• Understand the development and use of milk ladders and similar approaches
• Identify when to recommend at-home trials versus supervised challenges
• Assess clinical and family-level risk factors before reintroduction
• Move away from one-size-fits-all approaches
• Tailor reintroduction plans based on the child, history, and family readiness
• Reduce barriers and support families through the reintroduction process

This is the series many dietitians have been asking for, practical strategies you can bring directly back to your clinic.
