why are food allergies so ignored?

Question

is this a heavily debated area or something? my nephew has food allergies & so i can see what a difference his diagnosis makes in his behavior. why is it that pediatritions so often ignore food allergies as correllated with behavior? what is the deal here? am i missing a huge debate or something?

please, only educated & mature answers. i really do want to understand the issue, so don't lash out at me.

Answer 1

people ignore food allergies because of the complications and efforts to suit everyone's needs

people can just say to keep an eye on what their kid is eating, so they continue to make the situation an eyesore

some people with these allergies don't know what there foods contain, at least

but many people are worried, so that is why there is strict limits
people assume that these people with allergies know what they are doing

Answer 2

A good Dr. doesn't ignore a food allergy. In children they very well may be allergic so several foods that can cause behavioral and phsysicological problems. Everything from being Hyper, to stomach illnesses and nauseaa to respiratory problems and even migraine headaches. The problem with diagnosing it is that a child may not be allergic to one specific food, but to a combination of foods. He or she may be able to tolerate eggs that are used as a mix in cake but not be able to eat a fried egg. Wheat and nuts are common allergies as is milk. Because bread and milk products are staples of childrens healthy diets, its hard to get kids to understand and even harder to get adults to understand that the kid is not just naughty.

Answer 3

The chance that a child has behavior problems if he or she also has allergies is about 10 percent higher than a child without allergies.
