• Activity INFORMATION

  Overview

  In a podcast-style discussion, Mike Corvino, PharmD, and Cole Swanson, PharmD, explore the management of food allergies and Celiac disease, conditions that significantly impact quality of life and can result in significant complications if left untreated. Food allergies are immune-mediated responses to certain proteins, while Celiac disease involves an autoimmune reaction to gluten, leading to intestinal damage and systemic effects. Management strategies focus on avoidance of triggers, nutritional counseling, and the integration of emerging therapies to improve patient outcomes. This session will provide healthcare professionals, particularly pharmacists and nurses, with practical insights to incorporate into daily medical practice.
