Children with food allergies, what do we do?
Many children suffer from food allergies , most frequently in children under five years who present with skin rashes, diarrhea and vomiting after eating some food. Approximately 1 in 12 children have any food allergies, being most common allergies to peanuts, milk, seafood and nuts.
In Parentheses we tell you what you can do to make your child does not suffer with food allergies .
Avoid extreme clean
The causes of food allergies are not clear. Some experts say it has to do with hygiene, where the “hyper-cleaning”, we have culturally prevents children from being exposed to germs they need to develop natural antibodies. Others think it may be due to changes in food production, or the types of food consumed by children at the beginning of life.
Prevents watching what your child eats
Recommended by experts to avoid allergies is prevention. First, maintaining nutrition through breast milk as much as possible. If this is not possible, the ideal is to use a milk formula low in allergens. If the child has a food allergy should be removed immediately from the diet, however, many children outgrow their allergy over time, to develop your body.
If you suspect your child has food allergies should talk to your doctor. If you have already suffered once, your allergic reaction may progress to have symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, rash or prurient (itching), tingling sensation in the mouth, swelling and dizziness. To add a food in the diet, a physician should be monitored, and should be done gradually, taking care not to ingest other foods that may confuse what is the cause of allergy.
