It’s easy for an allergist to say, “Stay off of wheat, dairy, soy and eggs”, but it’s a whole different story for parents to figure out how they and their child will actually survive with so many restrictions. If you are left wondering how you will feed your child to properly fuel his growth, or how you will find enough food to eat while breastfeeding an allergic infant, you deserve the support of a registered dietitian. 

Even if you have a safe and adequate food plan, many allergy moms find that their child is a very selective or “picky” eater. Unfortunately, allergies can cause medical trauma and food-related anxiety. It can be heartbreaking to watch an already-restricted child refuse the safe foods that were painstakingly prepared for him. Adding to the complexity is the fact that anyone on a restricted diet is at a greater risk of developing an eating disorder. 

So how can you keep your child safely nourished and eating happily?
