WEBINAR – ALPHA-GAL SYNDROME: FROM DIAGNOSIS TO (INGREDIENT) DETECTIVE

Tuesday, Dec. 10. 1 pm Eastern Time.

Speakers: Beth Carrison, INHC, Jennifer Platt, DrPH and Dr. Tina Merritt, TBC United Board Chairwoman

This webinar will provide an overview of Alpha Gal Syndrome (AGS) – the tick-borne condition that upon exposure to galactose-alpha-1,3-galactose (“alpha-gal”) renders patients allergic to mammalian meats and the myriad by-products that contain mammalian-derived ingredients (e.g. pharmaceuticals and vaccines).

Participants will receive the best available and most current information. They will learn about diagnosis and the key areas of support required for AGS patients of all ages, with a focus on dietary needs and how to be an ingredient detective.

The instructors will also review pharmaceutical considerations (OTC, Rx, and vaccines) and social challenges faced by the patient in the workplace and school, with friends/family, and with their health care team. While much information will be presented, attendees will leaving feeling empowered and able to act on the knowledge learned.
