TY  - JOUR
AB  - <jats:p id="p1">The field of food allergy has seen tremendous change over the past 5-10years with seminal studies redefining our approach to prevention andmanagement and novel testing modalities in the horizon. Earlyintroduction of allergenic foods is now recommended, challenging theprevious paradigm of restrictive avoidance. The management of foodallergy has shifted from a passive avoidance approach to activeinterventions that aim to provide protection from accidental exposures,decrease allergic reaction severity and improve the quality of life offood-allergic patients and their families. Additionally, noveldiagnostic tools are making their way into the clinical practice withthe goal to reduce the need for food challenges and assist physicians inthe – often complex – diagnostic process. With all the newdevelopments and available choices for diagnosis, prevention andtherapy, shared decision-making has become a key part of the medicalconsultation, enabling patients to make the right choice for them, basedon their values and preferences. Communication with patients has alsobecome more complex over time, as patients are seeking advice online andthrough social media, but the information found online may be outdated,incorrect, or lacking in context. The role of the allergist has evolvedto embrace all the above exciting developments and provide patients withthe optimal care that fits their needs. In this review, we discussrecent developments, as well as the evolution of the field of foodallergy in the next decade.</jats:p>
