In this issue we look at oral food challenges as part of the diagnosis and management of food allergy; and how to stay safe in hospital if you have a food allergy. Dana Alexander from Coeliac New Zealand writes about coeliac disease; and author Jackie Nevard describes the things she learnt from her son’s experience with anaphylaxis. In our regular features, the Malaghan Institute describes their research into a new role for a key molecule, which might help in the fight against allergic disease; Anna Schmidt finds an allergy-friendly café in Auckland’s Mission Bay, and Alana Scott provides an allergen-free recipe for mini pancakes.
