Abstract

Food allergies are common in children and they can be severe. They result in dietary restrictions and significantly affect quality of life. There is currently no cure for food allergies and the mainstream approach to management consists of food avoidance and provision of emergency medication. Recently, a more active approach to management is being adopted, which includes anticipatory testing, early introduction of potential food allergens, active tolerance induction and active risk management, all of which are discussed at length in this review.
