What you should know about children and food allergies

Some 8 percent of children under 18 are allergic to at least one food, and for children younger than 3, 1 in 17 are allergic to at least one food. Finding out more about children and food allergies could help your children with their own food allergies.

Food allergy versus food intolerance

You should employ food allergy testing if you suspect an allergy and not as a screen for it.

Knowing the difference between a food allergy and a food intolerance is a tricky business. Knowing which your child may be facing can help you understand how to properly treat them, and avoid serious consequences in dealing with their issues.

Detecting a common food allergy early

Testing can determine which types of foods may cause an allergic reaction.

With one in every 13 children having a food allergy, it seems that now, more than ever, it’s important for parents to know the basics on food allergies and have the ability to identify potential food allergy problems in their children early on.

Testing your child for a food allergy

The doctor will update this chart to reflect any allergy trouble-spots for the patient once tests are complete.

Food allergies are on the rise among children. A pediatrician, allergist or immunologist can use a skin test, RAST or oral food challenge to determine whether your child is allergic to a particular type of food.
