How Can Food Allergy Be Prevented?

My 16 month granddaughter is still suffering from food allergies and her skin is always broken out and itchy. My daughter has taken her to an allergist and eggs and milk are the main culprits but we ve found out through trial and error that she s allergic to avacado, banana, strawberry pears etc. Her pediatrician said she is only in the 5th percentile now She s still eating baby food. What can we give her to make her that will have more caloric intake and more fatty foods. This was recommended by her pediatrician. Thank you for any feed back

hi sir/madam,
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.

Healthy Tips:-

• Breast-feeding exclusively for the first four to six months, or using a hypoallergenic formula, may strengthen the immune system while delaying or preventing atopic dermatitis and milk allergy.

• Restricting a mother's diet during pregnancy or while breast-feeding has not been shown to help prevent the development of allergies.

• Solid foods should be introduced gradually between four to six months of age. Egg, dairy, peanut, tree nuts, fish and shellfish can be gradually introduced after less allergenic foods have been tolerated. In fact, delaying the introduction of these foods may increase your baby’s risk of developing allergies.

• Reducing exposure to some allergens, such as dust mites, may delay or prevent allergy or asthma symptoms.

• Exposure to tobacco smoke before and after birth increases your infant's risk of developing wheezing and asthma.

Hope this info was helpful.
