Kids & Parents Can Share Food Allergies

Video Transcript

Yep, believe it or not, your allergies, more than likely your child's going to have those same allergies. So basically, when they're quite young, you want to watch out for those things. So if you're allergic to citrus, these lovely peanuts right here, eggs, soy, which is a huge health craze obviously, milk, you're going to watch out for those things. And if your older children, if you're lucky and you have older children, you can kind of monitor them too and if whatever food allergies they have, your younger child may have them too. So basically when they're young, you want to make sure that that child isn't introduced to that food until later on or even maybe you want to introduce it earlier in the day in a smaller amount, so this way you have the whole rest of the day to see if, what their symptoms could be. Could it be the sneezing, could it be the mucusy problems, could they have a rash afterwards, or hives, or eczema, or anything like that. So you see, you can really monitor your child and see what it is that could be possibly go wrong because if anything does happen, any kind of antiplatic shock or anything like that, you want to make sure to be able to get them to the hospital. So you just want to say, o.k. let's take an egg, let's give them just a little piece of this egg, to try it out in the morning or maybe just a nut or two to introduce it to their system very slowly because if you have those allergies, they're going probably have it too. And you want to make sure and be careful with that.
