Baby Food Allergies - All You Need To Know

In recent year we have seen an increase in the susceptibility of allergies. Baby food allergies are of particular concern as the source may be difficult to detect.

Baby food allergies are as common as adult food allergies.

If your baby appears distressed for no apparent reason or has unexplained areas of itchiness to the skin, then perhaps he or she has a baby food allergy.

What is an Allergy?

An allergy can be defined as an intolerance to a particular substance when touched, inhaled, injected or ingested.

When our body is exposed to a substance that causes an allergic reaction the response may be nasal or respiratory congestion, itchy or runny nose, watery eyes, diarrhea, or itchy rashes anywhere on the body.

Baby Food Allergies - Can My Allergies be Passed on to my Baby?

If you tend to have an allergic reaction then your baby may have a tendency to be allergic also.

However you and your baby may not share the same food allergies or be allergic to the same substances.

You may have asthma, while your child may develop hay fever.

Baby Food Allergies - How to detect them

It can sometimes be difficult detecting the cause of baby food allergies. If you think your infant has a baby food allergy, eliminating the following products from their diet may help.

o Milk and dairy products

o Eggs

o Nuts

o Shellfish

o Citrus Fruits

Once you have eliminated each of these food groups from your baby's diet, you can begin to reintroduce them gradually one by one.

Wait a few days before the introduction of an additional food group and do not mix food groups.

If your baby has a baby food allergy you be able to detect it by monitoring his or her reaction to the introduction of these individual food groups.

Baby Food Allergies - Can they be prevented?

Breastfeeding your baby for the first six months of his or her life helps to reduce the incidence of allergies earlier on in life.

Try to avoid giving your baby pre-prepared foods that contain additives, or tinned or packaged foods.

Baby Food Allergies - When are they Most Likely to Occur?

Baby food allergies can occur at any time. Many babies are allergic to, or have an intolerance to cows milk and your baby may develop an allergy to other milk or wheat products, shellfish, nuts or citrus fruits.

If your baby has an allergic reaction after eating a particular food, you should see the signs within an hour.

Baby Food Allergy - Signs to Look For

The symptoms of a baby food allergy could include swelling or itchiness of the lips or tongue, wheezing or a skin rash.

Some babies may develop an intolerance to particular food groups.

If your baby has a food intolerance, symptoms might include diarrhea, vomiting, stomach pain, colic or wind.

Treating Baby Food Allergies

As long as you can find the cause, then the best way to treat a baby food allergy is to refrain from giving your baby that particular food.

If your baby is experiencing related symptoms then the allergy could be pollen related rather than a baby food allergy. Non food substances that could also cause an allergic reaction include pet hairs, tobacco smoke, feather pillows, perfume or dust mites.

Baby Food Allergies - Healthy Alternatives

If your results indicated that your infant is experiencing baby food allergies, here are some non allergic foods that you can try introducing into their diet.

o Mangoes, apples, grapes

o Barley, oats, rye

o Cauliflower, carrots, sweet potatoes

o Chicken, salmon

If in any doubt you should seek professional help to determine whether it is a baby food allergy or something more serious.

Baby food allergies are quote common and with a little work are fairly easy to detect. Once you have detected the source of your baby's food allergy, the simplest way to eliminate the symptoms is to remove the cause.

Bad Breath May Be Caused by Sinus Problems

Chronic bad breath, which is also known as halitosis, may accompany a sinus problem. If you have a constant sinus problem, or post nasal drip, the mucus that is produced from this condition runs down your throat and accumulates in the back of your throat and on the back of your tongue. This is one place where the bacteria on the back of your tongue produce plaque. Plaque production causes bad breath.

With a post nasal drip you generally have a thick phlegm in your throat. This phlegm may be infected. Your throat is usually kept moist by secretions from the nasal area and mucous glands in that area. When the liquids that keep your throat moist are reduced then the fluids thicken, and we become aware of this thick goo.

When we notice this thick material, we try to get rid of it by coughing, or even spitting it out. While it's accumulating on the back of your throat and tongue the anaerobic bacteria that live there begin to multiply and produce the foul odors that cause bad breath.

The trick then is to get rid of your sinus problem, which may give you relief from your foul breath condition.

One way to get relief from a post nasal drip is by using a spray. Look for natural nasal moisturizers, ones without additives. Beware of sprays with additives or preservatives. Some of these reportedly make the condition worse and can contribute to nasal congestion coming back. One additive to avoid is benzalkonium. Be sure to read the label when you're looking at moisturizing sprays for your throat or nose.

Clean your nose for sinus problem relief

Here's a way you can clean your nose out with salt water. You will need to have some salt, some water, and a small infant aspirator. Just dissolve a half a teaspoon of salt into 8 ounces of warm water. If you have high blood pressure use less salt. Draw the water into the aspirator and place the tip into one nostril. Tilt your head back so that your nose is straight back and the aspirator is pointing straight back into your nose, so that its parallel to the floor. And then gently breathe in through your nose to pull the water into your nostril.

I know this may be uncomfortable, especially the first few times. As you practice you'll become used to it. Do this with the other nostril and spit the water out. You may need to do this a couple of times to get relief. Then when you're finished, thoroughly blow your nose to remove any water. You may have to do this two or three times a day for several days to get relief.

An alternative is to gargle with warm salt water, this will help clear the throat of all the mucus that's accumulated there.

Foods Involved With Sinus Problems

Spicy hot foods may be the cause of chronic problems with your sinuses. If you're suffering from a post nasal drip, try to avoid hot peppers and spicy foods. Try it for a few days, and test whether you can feel a difference in your sinuses and your breathing. Also check your breath!

The production of mucus is stimulated by dairy products. Dairy products contain lactose, which is a sugar. This lactose is a nutrient for the bacteria in your throat and in your in your intestinal tract. If you have too much lactose it can have an adverse affect on your gut and even on your immune system. I discuss lactose in more detail in my article about how your diet can affect your breath, which you can find on my website.

Bad Breath and Tea

Tea can be used to get relief from sinus problems. Hot tea is known to stimulate the movement of the little hair-like structures (cilia) that are at the back of the throat, helping to reduce post nasal drip. This may be why chicken soup is so effective. One reason this helps is that it washes away the mucus from the back of your throat into your stomach, where it gets broken down. And the bacteria in the mucus will be destroyed by the actions in your stomach.

Keeping Things Moist

Medications may make your nose dry out. Especially if you're taking a large number of them. One way to alleviate this is to use a moisturizing spray or humidifier.

A humidifier can be a great help especially during the winter. This helps keep everything from drying out and getting thick. Using distilled water in the humidifier keeps impurities out of the air. It's also a good idea to clean your humidifier about once a week, using water mixed with a little bit of white vinegar. The white vinegar kills mold and mildew that can accumulate in the humidifier.

A Remedy From the Sages of India

This last suggestion comes from the yogis of India. They use a neti pot. It looks like a small teapot with a long spout, and it holds a few ounces of water.

Here's the way to use a neti pot. First put some warm water and a pinch of salt in the neti pot. Start with a very little bit of salt and as you use the neti pot continue to increase the salt until you feel a slight sting when you do the process.

Do this over a sink. Tilt your head sideways and put the spout in one nostril and slowly pour until all the fluid in the pot has drained out the other nostril. Make sure you tilt your head sideways so that the nostril that you are draining is on the bottom.

Refill the pot, and do the same thing with your other nostril. It may take a little bit of practice. Then blow your nose through both nostrils.

Here is a video demonstration of using an neti pot on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8KOsNtpV8w
