Prevention
breastfeeding helps to prevent allergies.
Otherwise, there is no known prevention
of food allergies except to delay the
introduction of allergy-causing foods to
infants until the gastrointestinal tract
(gi tract) has had a chance to mature.
The timing for this varies from food to
food and from baby to baby.
Once an allergy has developed, carefully
avoiding the offending food usually
prevents further problems.
