Organizations: Food Allergies

This list identifies local and national organizations that provide resources and support for families who have a child with food allergies. Organizations are grouped into a "General Food Allergy" category, with organizations supporting IgE-mediated allergies and a "Non-IgE Food Allergy" category, for specific diagnoses such as Food Protein-Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome (FPIES) and Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE). To learn more about the differences between IgE and non-IgE food allergies, read this article from Kids with Food Allergies.
