THE LEADERS AND THE BEST FOR THE TREATMENT OF FOOD ALLERGIES
8% of children and 2% of adults in the U.S. have food allergies. And the numbers are growing especially in children.
The most common food allergies – dairy, eggs, peanuts, fish, shellfish, soy, tree nuts and wheat – are becoming more and more prevalent. And rare food allergies, such as eosinophilic esophagitis (EE), are emerging.
Managing food allergies can seem like a daunting, full-time job. That’s why we are here to help.
