Food allergies are common health problems in children. Some children experience symptoms such as abdominal pain and bloating when eating certain foods such as milk, fruit and bread.

Following a diet program under the supervision of a dietitian, the child can avoid trouble without being malnourished.

German nutrition expert Amke Reza said allergies can actually occur with the first sip of breast milk. Some children suffer from congenital enzyme defects and can not tolerate lactose because the body can not decompose lactose.

Puffiness and abdominal pain
Symptoms of lactose intolerance are bloating, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Through early diagnosis, this problem can be easily addressed; babies have milk that contains pre-disrupted lactose.

German pediatrician Klaus Peter Zimmer noted that allergy to bovine milk can also attack infants despite full breastfeeding. Allergens are transmitted to the child through breast milk, which is used in the treatment of cow's milk.

The sensitivity of food also includes sensitivity to fruit sugar (fructose), and here the child should avoid fruit, fruit juices also contain a large amount of fructose.

Abdominal disease
Celiac disease also occurs in food allergies. The child suffers from health problems when eating gluten, such as wheat and barley.

The symptoms of abdominal disease are bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, weight loss, fatigue and headaches.

Gluten may cause inflammation in the small intestine, which not only appears as abdominal pain but also in the form of other symptoms such as diarrhea, weight loss, fatigue and headaches.

Food program
To detect allergies, the nutritionist advises parents to note what the child is eating and the symptoms that follow. Through blood analysis, you can tell if your child is allergic to a particular type of food.

A dietitian should also be consulted to develop a nutritional program for the child to ensure that he is not malnourished because he is deprived of important nutrients for his body. For example, children who are allergic to lactose and bovine milk have high risk of calcium deficiency and vitamin D .

In order to avoid this, the body must be supplied with nutrients in the form of dietary supplements, for example.
