There are common foods that are known to cause allergies such as peanuts. But dear mothers, monitor the symptoms and follow your instinct. Sometimes children refuse to eat a single food like fish, or throw up after digesting. If this happens, contact your doctor or read about the symptoms. When introducing new food in your child’s diet, like fish, strawberries or peanuts, start with small doses and monitor his/her body’s reaction to it. On the other hand, if you find these symptoms happening once or twice, it might just be the normal case of your child not wanting to eat or not liking the food. Keep an eye out for reactions and symptoms.

Finally, intolerance isn’t a disease, it is just the body’s reaction to certain items around your child and not all intolerances are from food. Other elements around you may cause intolerance, like certain types of flowers, pollen, dust, etc. KEEP THIS IN MIND

Most common reactions to food allergies are either on the skin, in the gastric system, or will show in their bowel system.

WE RECOMMEND... - Teach your child about their allergy, the triggers, who to go to and where. - Keep their medication nearby at all times. - Inform their teachers, classmates, friends and family members of their allergies. - Keep a supply of alternate foods. - Order allergy tags for your child (amazon.com)
