Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Allergy & Immunology care with Dr. Natalie Diaz-Cabrera:

What is an Allergist / Immunologist?

An allergist/immunologist is a medical expert specializing in diagnosing and treating conditions related to the immune system, including allergies and immunodeficiencies. They help identify triggers and develop strategies to prevent reactions, improving patients' quality of life.

What can I expect during my first allergy consultation with Dr. Natalie Diaz-Cabrera?

Your first consultation with Dr. Diaz-Cabrera will be a detailed detective process, focusing on a thorough history of your symptoms, potential exposures, and family history. She will also likely perform diagnostic tests, such as skin testing, to pinpoint specific triggers and develop a personalized prevention plan.

What is anaphylaxis and how can I prevent it?

Anaphylaxis is a severe, life-threatening allergic reaction. Prevention involves strict avoidance of known triggers, carrying an epinephrine auto-injector, and having a clear Anaphylaxis Emergency Action Plan, which Dr. Diaz-Cabrera will help create.

Can my child outgrow a food allergy?

Many children can outgrow allergies to milk, eggs, and wheat. However, allergies to peanuts, tree nuts, and seafood are less likely to be outgrown. Dr. Diaz-Cabrera can monitor this with testing and conduct an oral food challenge when appropriate.

What is Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE)?

Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is an allergic condition where a type of white blood cell builds up in the esophagus, causing inflammation and difficulty swallowing. It's often triggered by food allergies, and Dr. Diaz-Cabrera works with gastroenterologists to identify the trigger foods and manage the condition.

Are there alternatives to allergy shots?

Yes, for some environmental allergies like grass and ragweed pollen, there are under-the-tongue tablets or drops (sublingual immunotherapy) that can be taken at home. Dr. Diaz-Cabrera can discuss if this is a suitable prevention option for you.

I think I have a drug allergy. What should I do?

Stop the medication if safe to do so, and contact your prescribing doctor and an allergist immediately. Dr. Diaz-Cabrera can help determine if it was a true drug allergy through a detailed history and, if necessary, specialized skin testing or a drug challenge to ensure future safety.

How do you test for a food allergy?

We begin with a skin prick test or a blood test (IgE test) to identify potential allergens. However, the gold standard for diagnosis is an oral food challenge, performed in our clinic under strict medical supervision, to definitively confirm or rule out a food allergy.
