Food Allergies
Food allergies can start during the first year or even the first months of life. Major culprits include milk, egg and soy. To a lesser extent, small children may react to tree nuts and peanuts. Children who are allergic to foods may experience allergic symptoms when they come into contact with the offending food or often within minutes of eating even a trace of it. Reactions can include:
rashes
hives—itchy bug-bite-like welts on the body
stomach pain with vomiting
diarrhea
difficult breathing
swelling in the mouth and throat
