Allergic reactions can affect different areas of the body but are most likely to appear on the skin, in the tummy area or the chest. Please browse the symptom guide if you are looking for detailed explanations and pictures to each symptom possibly caused by food allergy.
If you have found that your child is affected by one or more symptoms listed, the questions below will help you to find out if a food allergy could be the cause of the problem. If you suspect that your child has CMA, please speak to your GP or Paediatrician.
Time is always short at Doctor’s appointments, so you can use the Visit Planner to help you prepare for them. This tool will be very useful in gathering all the relevant information beforehand, such as the family history of food allergies, medications, treatments and infections.
