Using an Egg Ladder for Babies with Egg Allergy with Carina Venter, PhD, RD

#124: What if your baby reacted to egg…does that mean eggs are off the table forever? Not necessarily. In this episode, food allergy researcher and dietitian Carina Venter, PhD, RD, explains what an egg ladder is, how it may help some babies with egg allergy work toward tolerating egg again, and why this approach is used more often outside of the United States. Carina also shares why egg white matters, why “egg intolerance” is usually not the right term, and what to ask your pediatrician or allergist before trying an egg ladder.
