As many as 10% of adults in America have at least one food allergy. Many of the most common food allergens are key foods in the vegetarian diet, including wheat, soy, tree nuts, peanuts, and sesame, but individuals may also be allergic to spices and many other foods.

Understanding how food allergies impact a vegetarian diet and assisting clients in managing their allergies in the context of this eating pattern is an essential skill for every dietitian working in this area. Food allergies have a huge impact on the lives of those diagnosed with them, regardless of their dietary patterns.

However, for those eating a vegetarian diet, food allergies can have an even greater impact by removing sources of protein and dietary fiber, and limiting safe options for nutrient-rich foods. This webinar will help practitioners provide the best possible care while preparing clients and patients to choose safe, nutritious alternatives to food allergens.
