Frequently Asked questions
Food allergies are typically diagnosed through allergy testing, such as skin prick tests or blood tests, to identify specific triggers.
Common allergens include milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, wheat, fish, and shellfish.
You will receive detailed advice on identifying allergens in foods, reading labels, and preparing safe meals to avoid cross-contamination.
If your child shows symptoms of an allergic reaction, follow your action plan, which may include using an EpiPen or seeking immediate medical help.
Some children may outgrow certain food allergies over time, but this varies by individual. Our Consultant Paediatrician can monitor this over the years.
