Understanding Baby Food Allergies: types of allergies, signs and symptoms, testing and root causes.
In this episode we kick off our Baby Food Allergy Series by exploring the essentials of understanding food allergies in infants. Food allergies can feel overwhelming, but this episode aims to demystify the basics and empower you to take the first steps in managing and supporting your baby’s health.
We cover:
- What food allergies are and how they differ from intolerances.
- The three main categories of food allergies, including IgE-mediated, non-IgE-mediated, and mixed allergies like EOE.
- Common symptoms to watch for and how they manifest.
- Why food allergies are on the rise globally, including in Australia where they’re one of the fastest-growing health concerns for children.
- First steps to take, including how to navigate elimination diets, when to seek professional help, and the importance of supporting your baby’s gut health and immune system.
Whether your baby is showing signs of discomfort or you’re looking to confidently introduce allergens, this episode is packed with insights to get you started on your journey.
