If your child has already developed a food allergy, do not lose hope and give up on feeding other allergens. Studies show that having one food allergy can increase your risk of other food allergies developing, so we want to get proactive. See your allergist about how to proactively feed allergens safely.  You might also talk to your allergist about treatment options.
