Who are we ?
- A multidisciplinary team formed
by a pediatric allergist, a pediatric gastroenterologist, two dietetians specialized
in pediatric nutrition, and a nursing staff.
- We are located at the Children's
Hospital, University Medical Center of
Geneva, Switzerland. We are working in close collaboration with the Allergy
Unit of the University Hospital on food allergies in adult patients
- We aim:
- to take care of patients with
a suspicion of adverse reactions to foods. We provide diagnostic procedures
(including double-blind food challenges), follow-up care of patients,
and nutritional counseling.
- to inform health professionals,
and anybody interested in food allergy-related issues.
- Why a Web page ?
U.S. servers already provide information on this topic, but we would like to
provide information for people in Europe, and Switzerland in particular.
- Your comments are welcome, so
please write us to share your experience on the topic ...
