The same tongs used for warm nuts are used for your ice. On an airplane. At 30,000 feet.

This is exactly why cross-contamination on flights is not "going overboard." My guest Lianne Mandelbaum has been collecting stories like this for years β€” and they need to be heard.

Have you ever wondered what's actually inside an airplane emergency medical kit? I hadn't β€” until I had to open one mid-flight to help a patient.

There are no auto-injectors required on board. The kits haven't been updated since 2005. My guest Lianne Mandelbaum from No Nut Traveler has been advocating to change airline policy for food allergy passengers β€” this is a must-listen.

I see patients with complex allergy and immune conditions at GAIN in Salt Lake City and via telehealth nationwide.

Parents β€” if your baby has eczema, what was the first thing you did?

If the answer is "cut out a bunch of foods," you're not alone. But that might actually be making things worse. On this week's episode, Dr. Tom Chacko at Chacko Allergy, Farah Khan, MD, Pediatric & Adult; Allergy, Asthma and Clinical Immunology, and I broke down the biggest mistakes we see β€” from unnecessary elimination diets to those massive food allergy panels that create more confusion than clarity.

I see patients dealing with this every single day at GAIN in Salt Lake City and via telehealth nationwide. If this sounds like your family, let's talk.

Have you ever avoided a treatment because of a bad reaction you had in the past?

Farah Khan, MD, Pediatric & Adult; Allergy, Asthma and Clinical Immunology made such a good point on the podcast β€” that anxiety from a past reaction can become part of your story in a way that keeps you from exploring what could actually help. Sometimes the best next step isn't a new medication. It's talking to someone who can help you work through what happened.

Has a past experience ever made you hesitant about a treatment? I'd love to hear your perspective πŸ‘‡

Have you ever wondered if your doctor's recommendation was based on what's best for you β€” or what they would pick for themselves?

I had this honest conversation with Farah Khan, MD, Pediatric & Adult; Allergy, Asthma and Clinical Immunologyand Dr. Tom Chacko of Chacko Allergy , and the answer might surprise you. We all carry biases β€” the key is whether we meet the patient where they are.

Have you ever been told something about a treatment by a doctor who's never actually done it?

Dr. Amanda Whitehouse, Food Allergy Anxiety Psychologist, and I talked about this on The Immune Edit. I had a patient come in repeating things about OIT that I knew immediately came from a provider who's never performed it. Families are making major decisions based on secondhand opinions from people who don't do this work.

If your doctor doesn't know, the right answer is "let me get you to someone who does." There's zero shame in that. And parents β€” there's nothing wrong with getting a second or third opinion.

Go find your answers.

What's the one thing you wish people understood about living with food allergies?

Dr. Amanda Whitehouse, Food Allergy Anxiety Psychologist, put it perfectly on The Immune Edit β€” people outside this world think it's as simple as "oh, you can't eat peanuts." But it's the constant advocating, the trauma, the chronic stress on your body, the lack of support. It touches every part of your life.

If you're in this world, you already know. Drop what you wish others understood below.

Doctors β€” how do you reset between rooms when the last conversation was heavy?

I talked about this withDr. Amanda Whitehouse, Food Allergy Anxiety Psychologist on The Immune Edit and it hit different saying it out loud. A patient shares something devastating, and three seconds later you're walking into the next room trying to show up fully for someone else. That person deserves your best too.

How do other providers handle this? Drop your thoughts below.

If you're dealing with anxiety β€” are you sure it's anxiety and not trauma?

Dr. Amanda Whitehouse, Food Allergy Anxiety Psychologist, made a point on The Immune Edit that I think more people need to hear. We walk around saying "I'm so anxious" but sometimes what we're actually carrying is unprocessed trauma. And those two things need different kinds of support.

Her advice: stop judging yourself for what you're feeling. Your body responded to something real. Trust that. And then get help adapting when it's no longer serving you.

Food allergy parents β€” 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 β€” 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.
