The main  food “culprits” identified are cow’s milk, egg, peanut and gluten.  Dr Rodney Ford has a paediatric clinic specialising in gastroenterology and allergies. He manages thousands of children and families with food allergy, ezcema, gluten-sensitivity and coeliac disease. He has authored over a hundred publications and books.

Eczema Cure It! is one of Dr Rodney Ford’s books that will give you invaluable information and answers in an easy digestable way. I have this book and would recommend reading this to any parent with a baby or toddler suffering with angry red rashes on their face and body.

However it is really important to know the difference between the two terms or conditions. As some food allergies can cause life threatening reactions food allergies have to be managed and treated differently to health issues caused by food intolerances. By understanding signs and symptoms as well as the science behind a food allergy or food intolerance clearer choices about lifestyle, education and planning can be made.  

The food intolerance network has a great informative fact sheet all about the differences between a food allergy and a food intolerance.
