Follow topics like oral immunotherapy, school or anxiety, save the podcasts and blogs you like, and turn on notifications. No account needed.
Start with Food Allergy Canada, the national charity, and the Canadian Society of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, whose site has a find-an-allergist directory. For children, the Canadian Paediatric Society's Caring for Kids handouts are written for parents. Your own allergist is always the best source for your situation.
Recent work covers oral immunotherapy for more foods, omalizumab (Xolair) for people allergic to several foods, needle-free epinephrine and early allergen introduction for babies. Our clinical studies page lists new papers every day with a plain-language summary, plus the trials recruiting in Canada and the US.
Yes. Food allergy-informed therapists are listed in the Academy of Food Allergy Counseling directory (Canada, the US and the UK), and Food Allergy Canada, FARE and FAACT have coping guides and support groups. If you're in crisis, call or text 988 in Canada or the US.
The directory is curated: every podcast, book, blog, person and organization was chosen for being useful and evidence-minded, and the descriptions are in our own words. News and research come in automatically each morning from trusted sources; an AI model sorts them and writes the short summaries, which are labelled, and every item links to the original. Nobody pays to be listed.
Yes. Save the topics, podcasts and blogs you care about and turn on alerts: a notification on your phone or computer, or a weekly email once you sign in. No account is needed for phone notifications.
From ResQBand
A tap on the ResQBand Tap Card opens your emergency steps and a Call 911 button on most phones, and the helper can alert your emergency contacts with one more tap. The kit adds a tracker, a temperature disc and a thermal pack for your epinephrine.
General information, not medical advice. We link to other organizations' resources; we don't control them, and a listing isn't an endorsement. Summaries marked as AI summaries are written by an AI model from the source and can miss nuance, so read the original before acting on anything. In an emergency, use epinephrine and call 911.
