Food allergy |
| Overview Symptoms Treatment Prevention |
| Alternative Names: |
| Allergy to food |
| Prevention: |
| Breastfeeding helps to prevent allergies. Otherwise, there is no known prevention of food allergies except to delay introducing allergy-causing foods to infants until the gastrointestinal tract (GI tract) has had a chance to mature. The timing for this varies from food to food and from baby to baby.
Once an allergy has developed, carefully avoiding the offending food usually prevents further problems. |
