Safety First: Children Allergies
The National Center for Health Statistics found that 3 million children under 18 had food or digestive allergies in 2007. Since 1997, food allergies have increased by 18% among children, although researchers are puzzled as to why. Children with food allergies are also 2 to 4 times more likely to suffer from skin reactions like eczema and asthma as well. The good news is that most food allergies in kids clear up after age 5. Even so, those first few years can be very difficult and some children may always have adverse reactions to foods like milk, wheat or peanuts.
The most important part of raising a child with a food allergy is to keep them safe. At home, you will need to make adjustments in many of your recipes to ensure that your child does not come into contact with his or her allergens. It's natural to feel overwhelmed and stifled at first, but after a little bit of digging, you'll find alternates for just about all of your families' favorite foods. There are many broad cookbooks, such as The Allergy Self-Help Cookbook, which offers more than 325 recipes free of all common allergens, such as wheat, milk, eggs, corn, sugar and yeast. Then there are also more specifically targeted books, like Amazing Dairy Free Desserts (for a milk allergy), Bakin' Without Eggs (for an egg allergy) or Gluten Free Gourmet Bakes Bread (for a gluten allergy). For a list of books containing food allergy recipes, visit www.kidswithfoodallergies.org/cookbooks.html.
Sometimes children with food allergies begin to feel depressed or ostracized when other kids tease them for being unable to eat certain foods. It's important that you sit down with your child and talk about these feelings. A good way to get into a discussion is to read one of the books written about food allergies. Nicole Smith is the author of several helpful children's food allergy books, such as Allie the Allergic Elephant: A Children's Story of Peanut Allergies; Cody the Allergic Cow: A Children's Story of Milk Allergies; and Chad the Allergic Chipmunk: A Children's Story of Nut Allergies. For other wonderful books to go over with your child, please visit www.kidswithfoodallergies.org/books-child.html. By reading these books, children will learn how to avoid dangerous situations and stay safe just like their favorite characters in these memorable stories.
If having children with food allergies is a difficult diagnosis for your family, then visit the Food Allergy Initiative website (www.faiusa.org) to find support groups in your area. For example, the Food Allergy Support of Sacramento in California is a parent-run group that focuses on networking, peer support and food free events for kids with food allergies to meet other kids like them. The Metro DC Food Allergy Support Group holds family social events, like Halloween parties and Christmas events. The WNY Food Allergy Connection is a volunteer community resource that provides food allergy recipes, coping tips and peer meetings. The Parents of Allergic Kids Support Group in North Carolina holds bi-monthly parent meetings and child activities. Philadelphia's Food and Environmental Allergy Support Team holds guest speaker discussions on allergies in schools or at restaurants, as well as product suggestions, allergy testing updates, psychological effects of allergies, new allergy medication options and alternative therapies.
