He'...I'm not sure what this guy was trying to say. He's as clear as mud. It seems to me that he's saying that all the studies out there are inadequate and that no one knows for sure what they should do. That when it comes to intro'ing foods there's no clear data on what is really correct. I'm not sure he's down playing food allergies. I think he's down playing the studies and even blasting the one where they did a random phone poll (which in my opinion is completely inadequate too). The Minnesota study is a non issue for me because it was done so long ago. We have no recent statistics? And you can't even use anaphylaxis as a cause of death so why even bring that up?<BR/>For all of the money going into research for food allergies, I don't understand why we don't have better studies or research to draw from. My feeling was that this guy was kind of saying that too. That he doesn't know what to tell the parents of his patients because most of the studies and recommendations aren't clear. They seem to change with the wind. I sort of agree with him. My children are 2.5 years apart and I was given different guidelines for introducing solids for both (same pediatricians). I think the Dr. is afraid to make any recommendation because he's afraid he'll be wrong.<BR/><BR/>Now I could have misread that article. But that was my take.ChupieandJ'smama (Janeen)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12367131116081742274noreply@blogger.com
