Food Allergies: Understanding and Managing Reactions

Kansas City’s Food Allergy Specialist for Children & Adults


Living with a food allergy can be overwhelming—every meal, label, or social event comes with uncertainty. At KC Allergy & Asthma, we help patients get clarity, confidence, and control.


Whether you're navigating a suspected reaction or managing a known allergy, we offer expert diagnosis and long-term solutions that go far beyond basic avoidance.

Why Choose KC Allergy & Asthma for Food Allergy Care?

  • Specialized in Identifying True Food Allergies

Many people are misdiagnosed or confused by food sensitivities versus actual allergies. Our board-certified allergy specialist uses precise methods to identify real, immune-based food allergies.

 

  • In-Depth Testing and Evaluation

We offer skin prick testing, blood testing (IgE), and oral food challenges to determine which foods are truly unsafe—and which may be tolerated safely.

 

  • Customized Allergy Management Plans

Get more than just a diagnosis. We build personalized plans that include emergency preparedness, label reading strategies, cross-contamination prevention, and nutritional guidance.

 

  • Expertise in Pediatric Food Allergies

We’re trusted by parents across Kansas City for the accurate diagnosis and safe care of infants and children with milk, egg, peanut, tree nut, and other allergies.

 

  • Support for Complex or Unusual Cases

Our clinic sees patients with multiple allergies, history of anaphylaxis, delayed reactions, and food-dependent exercise-induced symptoms. We’re prepared for complex cases that require expert attention.

 

  • Desensitization & Tolerance Testing Options

For select patients, we offer supervised food challenges and oral immunotherapy referrals when appropriate, helping expand safe food options over time.

  • Milk and dairy
  • Eggs
  • Peanuts and tree nuts
  • Wheat and gluten-related symptoms
  • Soy
  • Shellfish and fish
  • Sesame
