Food allergy isn’t just about what’s on the plate — it’s about safety, dignity, and equal access in every part of life. I’m grateful to @KevinMD for giving patients and advocates a voice in this urgent conversation.
Pls watch our conversation

Boarded the flight an ER doctor.
Diverted flight as a critically ill patient.
Allergic reaction mid-air led to lawsuit.
Will this change if airlines are accountable?

The allergy and airline spaces are watching:
Will this case finally shift airline liability?

✅Food allergies are NOT an inconvenience
⚠️They are a serious medical condition that can & has taken lives
✈️We need standardized airline policies, trained crews, and a culture that treats passengers with dignity.

As families gather, we’re reminded: life is full of meals. But with a food allergy, one bite can be deadly.
Avarie, a U.S. student abroad, died after unknowingly eating tree nuts. Her epinephrine wasn’t with her.kevinmd.com/2025/04/what-a…
This must change. We need to keep telling these stories—not for shock, but for change.
My latest piece on @kevinmd is a call to action for better education, stronger systems, and a safer world for those with food allergies.Please share—because we must keep having these difficult conversations if we want to prevent more senseless deaths.

Flying with food allergies? What you need to know The scariest part isn’t the allergy—it’s the inconsistency. Watch my conversation w/ @kevinmd& learn steps you can take NOW to mitigate risk of anaphylaxis kevinmd.com/2025/03/compas…
📈 98% of food allergy travelers feel anxiety—not because they’re anxious people, but because they never know how they’ll be treated.
🥗A passenger ate an airline meal, had a reaction mid-flight—WHY because labels don’t have to be complete in the air. Meal labels in US aren’t required to list all allergens, even the top ones.
🆘 Fighting for Better Emergency Medical Kits (EMKs)
For the past decade, I’ve been advocating for airlines to carry the right medications in their EMKs. Right now, some kits lack lifesaving medications for severe allergic reactions. Progress has been slow, but we’re seeing movement.
I call myself pessimistically optimistic—I know change is hard, but we’re closer than ever to fixing this major safety gap.
📢 There’s more you need to know so listen today

@md_hippocrates @DrDougMackMD But increasing the speed of tolerance is not the sole reason for ladders. They help reduce unnecessary dietary restriction so would the evidence for limited harm not mean this remains something for shared decision making.
English

@DrDougMackMD Hmm, BE and BM does not seem to provide any clinical benefit toward resolution of egg /milk allergy. Now that the "science" does not support this therapy will it stop being offered? #foodallergy #egg #milk
English

Our recent systematic review on BAKED MILK AND EGG -This analysis can't differentiate if these safely and effectively hasten tolerance or if tolerance is simply inevitable in most patients possessing baseline baked tolerance regardless of baked use. Free! authors.elsevier.com/c/1jWa97tEbbQt…

Food allergies not funny.
Where does the line between humor and harm lie?
Girl purposely slapped in face w/ hand covered in peanut butter at school- went to hospital
Words of jest easily turn into actions -read my piece
allergicliving.com/2024/04/04/opi…
It's time for us to recognize the dark side of foodallergy humor and take it seriously. Let's continue to educate, advocate and call out the jokes so that one day it will be unacceptable to joke about a condition that can kill.

@NHSAntisemitism @LondonAllergy An abhorrent tweet, quickly retracted suggests a lapse of judgement - we all have those. I'm jewish & have known this doctor well for 20+yrs & have discussed religion & culture at length. She is kind, compassionate, a great doctor and most definitely not an anti-semite.
English

Dr Sophie Farooque @LondonAllergy - Allergy Consultant and Clinical Lead for Allergy at Imperial - mocks one of the young women held hostage.
Difficult to understand the thinking & bigotry that leads a clinician to this point.
I don’t believe anyone is safe in her care.

@OComedie @GMB @susannareid100 @richardm56 That fellow here....its fine to use an expired pen as long as the liquid in the window on the device isn't cloudy. Obviously better to have in date pens so consider signing up to the reminder alerts on the company websites.

@GMB @susannareid100 @richardm56
Susanna when the only pen is out of date perhaps days or weeks and no other pens available, surely no harm in trying as it might work? Ask fellow before he leaves #gmb studio... !
