E135: Talking Food Allergies w/ Dr. Reller, Lily, Xavi & Hobie — Fun Facts & Safety Tips

Welcome to the Get Healthy Tampa Bay Podcast with Dr. Kerry Reller! This week, I’m joined by my three special co-hosts—Lily, Xavi, and Hobie—to explore food allergies in a fun, family-friendly way. We discuss what food allergies are, how they differ from intolerances, and why eczema is the #1 risk factor for kids. You’ll learn about the top nine allergens, how early food introduction can help prevent allergies, and the latest guidance on epinephrine use that may change how quickly you respond in an emergency. We also share practical tips for reading labels, dining out, traveling, and keeping kids safe at school and parties. Tune in for an educational—and entertaining—episode on food allergy prevention and safety.00:28 Introduction & Meet the Co-Hosts02:05 What Is a Food Allergy?04:20 Food Allergy vs. Food Intolerance06:02 The Top 9 Food Allergens09:15 Why Eczema Is the #1 Risk Factor11:50 Early Food Introduction Myths and Facts14:32 Can Kids Outgrow Food Allergies?17:15 How We Test for Allergies (Oral Food Challenge)20:08 Reading Labels and “May Contain” Warnings23:10 Signs of a Reaction & When to Use Epinephrine27:40 Updated Epinephrine Guidelines & School Advocacy31:20 Final Tips from the Kids & Wrap-UpConnect with Dr. RellerPodcast website: https://gethealthytbpodcast.buzzsprou... My linktree: linktr.ee/kerryrellermdLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kerryrellermd/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ClearwaterFamilyMedicineInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/clearwaterfamilymedicine/Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@kerryrellermdClearwater Family Medicine and Allergy website: https://sites.google.com/view/clearwa...Podcast: https://gethealthytbpodcast.buzzsprou...Subscribe to the Get Healthy Tampa Bay Podcast on Apple podcasts, Spotify, Amazon music, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, Pandora.
