Kate Grimshaw qualified as a dietitian in the UK in 1989 after completing a Post Graduate Diploma in Human Nutrition and Dietetics (Her first degree was in Human Biology). She has since worked in a number of clinical dietetic posts. In 1995 she completed her MSc in Human Nutrition and in 2003 gained a post-graduate diploma in Allergy. In 2012 she completed her PhD looking at infant feeding practices in the first year of life and the development of food allergy. Many aspects of food allergy and nutrition are of interest to her including aetiology, diagnosis and treatment of food allergy and also the nutritional adequacy of exclusion diets in children and adults. The importance of the whole diet and its influence on the gut microbiome and immune system are of particular interest following on from her PhD findings. In September 2018 she moved to work at Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust as dietetic manager but she continues to work clinically within the food allergy field and provides dietetic support to adult patients with both IgE and Non-IgE mediated food allergy at Salford. As well as her research, clinical and management roles, Kate lectures on the Food Allergy Module of the MSc in Allergy at the University of Southampton and also to a number of University Dietetic Training programs. She is also research member of the Food Allergy Specialist Group of the British Dietetic Association.

Lee and his parents share their experience with the ModuLife Program and the Crohn's Disease Exclusion Diet (CDED).
Experts, supported by Nestlé Health Science, have introduced a simple to use scoring tool – the Cows’ Milk Related Symptom Score (CoMiSSTM) – enabling primary healthcare professionals to more efficiently interpret symptoms and consider earlier intervention. CoMiSSTM will significantly aid in raising awareness of CMA to help support in the diagnosis of this common infant allergy.
The aim of this webinar is to aid primary care individuals in the diagnosis and management of cows' milk protein allergy. Evidence suggests that it can take an average of 10 weeks and 4 visits to a healthcare professional to get a diagnosis of cows' milk allergy (CMA).1

Kristian discusses that the introduction of solids shouldn’t change due to cows’ milk allergy. He gives recommended timelines for this introduction and other weaning advice.
Kate discusses how the introduction differs between IgE and non-IgE mediated allergy. She discusses how, with suitable patients, the milk ladder and how it works.
Kate discusses how important it is for the child to be on the right formula. She discusses how there is evidence that an EHF could be seen as the first step of the milk ladder, introducing a child back onto dairy products to see if they have outgrown their allergy. She also highlights cases where this shouldn't be tried - these cases a child should be under the care of a paediatric allergy dietitan.
Kristian discusses how taste buds of infants mean they don’t notice taste differences in milks. He mentions how some formula taste better than others, specifically lactose containing formulas. He also mentions a method of titrating from one milk to another.
Kate discusses how adding flavours isn’t recommended - she further discusses how formulas containing lactose can taste better and therefore may be tolerated better.
Helen discusses the amount of formula and how it varies by infant condition and weight. She also gives a rough guide based on age.
Helen discusses the vitamins and minerals needed with both breastfed infants and formula fed infants both with or with cows’ milk allergy.
Kristian discusses how it isn’t advised to concentrate up a feed as a norm but further discusses special areas under the advice of a dietitian where it might occur.
Kristian discusses that guidance says that soya formula shouldn’t be used for Infants under 6 months of age and the reasons behind this.
Helen discusses that all amino acid formulas are suitable for a halal diet. She tells us that only SMA Althera is currently suitable for a halal diet in the extensively hydrolysed formulas.
Kate discusses that approximately 90% of patients should tolerate an EHF. She further discusses how an EHF should be first line choice in dietary management of cows’ milk allergy. She also highlights the areas where an amino acid formula should be used.
Helen discusses how and why you would order samples of formula for patients.
Helen discusses the difference between an EHF and an AAF. The differences between certain EHFs and when to use an AAF.
Kate discusses the much misunderstood differences between lactose intolerance and cows’ milk allergy. She also discusses the different types of lactose intolerance.
Helen discusses the importance of history taking to help diagnose IgE mediated allergy and also the tell tale signs that occur with this type of allergy. She also discusses the different tests that can be taken to diagnose the allergy.
Helen discusses the difficulties in identifying non-IgE mediated allergy. She discuses methods to help inform the likelihood of allergy and then how to perform an elimination diet and reintroduction to diagnose the allergy.
