Food allergy parents — has your child ever had a reaction at school and then been expected to just… go back the next day like nothing happened?

I sat down with Dr. Amanda Whitehouse, Food Allergy Anxiety Psychologiston The Immune Edit and she nailed this. Think about what that experience actually is for a kid. The reaction, the panic, the epi pen, everyone staring. And then we send them right back into the same environment. That's not just scary — that's trauma. And when it goes unaddressed, it shows up later as what we think is "just anxiety."

If this hits close to home, I'd love to hear your experience below.

Do you know someone who chews forever, sips water with every bite, and avoids things like steak, chicken, or bread?

Maybe they've always been called "picky" or "dramatic."

What if it's not behavioral at all — what if their esophagus is chronically inflamed?

This condition is called EoE, and it's one of the most misunderstood allergic diseases I see.

It can be food or environmentally driven, and having EoE does NOT exclude someone from food immunotherapy.

Ever heard the term eosinophilic esophagitis and had no idea what it meant?

Let me break it down: your body produces an inflammatory cell called an eosinophil — usually triggered by allergies.

When those cells traffic to your esophagus, they create chronic inflammation.

That's EoE.

And it's way more common than most people realize.

Has food ever gotten stuck in your throat or chest and you just… dealt with it?

Chewed more carefully, ate slower, avoided certain textures?

Most of the adults I see with EoE have been compensating like this for years — sometimes decades. I see these patients every week at GAIN in Salt Lake City, and virtually for patients nationwide.

On this episode with Dr. Gary Soffer, we discuss integrative and functional medicine.

Integrative medicine is about communication, blending evidence-based care with complementary practices like nutrition, movement, and mindfulness.

Functional medicine? Often more tests, more supplements… sometimes without solid evidence.

Not everything “alternative” is harmful, but not everything is helpful either.

The goal isn’t more labs or more pills. 💊
It’s better care, guided by evidence and patient-centered conversation.

Quick question for anyone doing IVIG — how much are you hydrating before, during, and after?

Dehydration + infusing too fast is the recipe for one of the most common IVIG side effects (aseptic meningitis). And it's way more common than the 1% some sources claim.

Hydrate the day before. Day of. Day after. Don't skip it.

If you're dealing with long COVID or post-vaccine symptoms and nobody can tell you why — there might be 3 things going on that most doctors aren't checking for.

I'm breaking down the three ways IVIG is helping these patients: lingering spike protein, autoantibodies, and a specific antibody deficiency that keeps showing up in this population.

Worth a watch if you've been told "your labs look normal" but you still feel terrible.

Did you know only 10% of people with food allergies ever see a specialist beyond their family doctor?

Dr. Adam Fox shared some eye-opening stats on The Immune Edit — including that food allergy cases have doubled in the last decade and anaphylaxis ER visits have tripled in 20 years.

Are you or your child getting the right level of care?

Have you ever thought about quitting allergy treatment after a tough reaction?

Dr. Adam Fox has a perfect analogy for why that reaction doesn't mean the treatment isn't working — and Dr. Jones takes it even further.

Did you know there's an FDA-approved peanut allergy capsule that most allergists never even used?

I talked about this with Dr. Adam Fox on The Immune Edit — and why real food therapy has been the answer for 144,000+ patients.

Has anyone on IVIG experienced a flare right after treatment and thought — is this even working?

You're not alone. That initial flare might actually be a GOOD sign. It means your body is starting to clear out the immune complexes that were causing problems in the first place.

It's not comfortable — but it's the junk coming out.
