Symptoms

Stomachache and Gastrointestinal Distress

Food sensitivities in children can produce colic, diarrhea, persistent vomiting and stomachaches. Children with early and long-lasting food sensitivities have three times the risk of developing allergic rhinitis (commonly called hay fever) and more than five times the risk of developing asthma as children whose reactions are short-lived.¹ If gastrointestinal symptoms persist, it is important to have your child tested for allergy. The earlier you know which allergens are causing reactions, the sooner you can begin avoidance or other recommended treatment.

Talk to your doctor. He or she can help you get to the cause of your child's allergy-like symptoms.
