Listen "Food Allergies in Kids: Prevention and Management with Dr Nelu "
Episode Synopsis
Food allergies are on the rise, but there are some things you can do to try and reduce the risk of them developing in your kids.
From eating a variety of food during pregnancy - yes including nuts if you're not allergic yourself - to avoiding food-based skin products like almond oil on your infant. And it's so important that you introduce a range of foods, bit by bit, when your bub starts eating solids.
Dr Nelu Simonsz (pediatrician and mother of 3) joins Dr Preeya to share a pile of practical golden nuggets when it comes to preventing food allergies, along with how to manage them (and the stress) if they do develop.
All those FAQs on “do we need a skin prick test?” “is this red skin around the mouth a food allergy reaction?” answered with plenty of singing and giggles on the way.
The discussions in this podcast are general in nature and do not replace the need for you to see a qualified health professional for any concerns you may have.
