Food allergies occur when the body reacts against harmless proteins found in foods, and can be common in children and teens. Here's a helpful guide on signs of food allergies to look out for, how to manage food allergies, and how to lower the risk of developing one. 🥜
"Starting around 6 months, parents can help lower the risk of food allergies by offering common allergens like peanuts, eggs, dairy and sesame. Delaying the introduction of these foods may actually raise the risk. Begin with small amounts, one food at a time, and watch for reactions. If your baby has eczema or a family history of allergies, check with your pediatrician first. Safe, early exposure can make a big difference."
