Families where children have food allergies during the pandemic were spending an increase of between $100-200 per month on food in Canada #csaci22 This is on top of their other previous costs

That’s it for me here at #CSACI22 I’ve yet to figure out what other Meetings I’ll be at in the upcoming year, but will definitely be Live Tweeting from Ottawa for #CSACI23

Lots of great guidelines from this group - Drug Allergy just released, EoE just about to be released, Chronic Sinusitis about to be released! Work in progress - #anaphylaxis, #immunodeficiency and #Immunotherapy #JTFPP a very busy group which I'm proud to be a member of!
