Some disappointing news about a treatment for eczema, asthma, and EoE, once thought to be a candidate for #foodallergies, actually causes more reactions and anaphylaxis. Do you or your child have a food allergy and use Dupixent? Please share your experience.

Great news as DBV submits their Viaskin Peanut Patch for FDA approval to treat young kids. They also have a milk patch in trials for milk allergy and EoE. #foodallergies
