From Pollen to Plate: Understanding Pollen Food Allergy Syndrome
This spring, patients may be reporting that some foods cause their mouth to itch. Is this a food allergy? Or is this pollen food allergy syndrome (PFAS)? In this episode of ImmunoCAST tackles the clinical challenge of distinguishing this condition from more severe food allergies. We explore the mechanisms behind PFAS, its relationship to seasonal allergies, and the importance of comprehensive allergy evaluation. Key topics include the role of specific IgE testing, differentiating between true food allergies and cross-reactivity with pollen, and management strategies such as avoiding trigger foods and processing methods to denature allergens. Gain valuable insights into improving patient outcomes through accurate diagnosis and tailored management plans.
