Flying With Food Allergies: What Airlines Won't Tell You with Lianne Mandelbaum

Think you know what to expect when flying with a food allergy? Think again. Airline labeling laws, emergency kit contents, and pre-boarding rights are not what most passengers assume — and the gaps in protection are bigger than you'd think.Dr. Doug sits down with Lianne Mandelbaum, founder of No Nut Traveler and airline correspondent for Allergic Living, to break down what every food allergy family needs to know before their next flight. Lianne has spent over a decade advocating for safer air travel after her son was bullied for his peanut allergy at the Denver airport — and United Airlines refused to help. They cover which airlines will (and won't) accommodate you, why you should never eat an airline meal, how co-factors like stress, fatigue, and altitude can lower your reaction threshold, and what's actually inside those emergency medical kits (spoiler: not what you'd hope). Plus, the latest DOT ruling that limits pre-boarding rights to only peanut and tree nut allergies — and why Lianne is fighting to change it.🩺 Become a patient at GAIN: myimmunenetwork.com📱 Follow Dr. Doug Jones: @drdougjones on Instagram and TikTok🌐 Learn more: drdougjones.com
