Let's talk about impacts that the pandemic had on #foodallergy, initially and now - both my own clinical observations as an allergy-informed family therapist, and research data that's now available.
First, observed impacts the pandemic has had on social media engagement. (1/12)

Love this simple, memorable set of steps for walking through #foodallergy!
@TherapistTamara dropping some growth oriented mindset perspectives for coping with chronic illness related experiences 👏🏼

New strategy to help manage #foodallergy and allergy-related #anxiety and overwhelm.
🌱 The “GROW Through Discomfort” technique helps you identify other reasons for your anxiety (not just risk) so you can grow through the discomfort.

Such a compelling narrative here - families want access to comprehensive care, including mental health support. So excited seeing these calls for integrated care!

Food allergies are a chronic and potentially life threatening condition well established to cause not just adaptive stress but impairment in ADLs and reduction in QOL.
Access to mental health support is shockingly poor as shown here…(1/)

@rebeccaknibb81 giving an update on our #GAPSstudy. Globally almost 80% of parents experience food allergy distress. For the lucky few caregivers who saw a mental health professional, less than half were referred and had to self-seek help #WAOBSACI2022

So fantastic! Thanks to @PBSKIDS & to @MichaelPistiner, who is just such a mensch. This piece is specifically about food allergy - which is often misunderstood- but more broadly about cultivating inclusion & compassion. Please read, share, amplify! Kids will win if you do.

Having the right assessment tools can help improve patient and provider communication. Thrilled to be part of a collaborative team dedicated to supporting the whole patient!

Proud to share this collaborative work - all credit to @KaitBProctor @FullBelliesDoc & team.
tl;dr: there is a shortage of validated tools, developed to NIH PROMIS or FDA standards, that can be used at the bedside to identify psychosocial distress in #foodallergy families

Grateful to @AllergicLiving for raising awareness of #ARFID and its association, in some patients, with #foodallergies. We have much yet to learn, but are actively collaborating with Dr. Sharp and his skilled team @childrensatl & @EmoryPediatrics. More to come!
17 Sep 2021
With #foodallergies, you must avoid allergens. But for some kids, needed avoidance can tip into very restricted eating & refusal of safe foods. It's a disorder called ARFID.
Read this important article about ARFID & FA, and meet families grappling with it. @ATLergist

Great fun bantering w/ the 1 & only @AllergyKidsDoc on this episode. Thanks for the opportunity @AAAAI_org!

Best of luck y’all! Let’s all show each other more love & compassion.

If you take care of #foodallergy patients & you aren’t familiar with ARFID (I wasn’t either until recently), look it up. Probably some of your patients meet diagnostic criteria.
Here we report our experience of a pilot embedding a psychologist in our clinic @childrensatl. (1/n)
