Children’s Food Sensitivities – Food Allergy Test
Could your child’s diet be aggravating their health?
Hidden food sensitivities could be affecting your child‘s mood, behaviour or health. Sometimes a seemingly healthy food can lead to a sensitivity or allergic reaction that can lead to inflammation, which can affect a multitude of health dimensions in a child. It may not be severe or immediate, as say a peanut allergy, but there can be non-life-threatening low-grade sensitivities that can affect a child’s day-to-day functioning.
