It is just heart-breaking to see your little one suffer from allergies – whether it’s food allergies, asthma, allergic rhinitis (hay fever), or atopic dermatitis (eczema).
Food allergy
A food allergy reaction occurs when a person’s immune system overreacts to a food (or a substance in food) and triggers a protective response. Allergies tend to run in families; errors in a gene that helps regulate the immune system are associated with higher rates of allergies, but it’s difficult to predict whether a child will inherit a parent’s food allergy.
