Adverse reactions to food in all the greater because of the increase in industrial production and intolerance develops from early childhood 

In recent years, more and more people are developing sensitivities or intolerances to certain foods. In the beginning they were mainly involved a dairy and wheat products, but today is a manufactured food added another dimension: preservatives, additives, artificial sweeteners and genetically modified ingredients.

Food intolerance, although at first glance harmless, over an extended period of time can damage the tissues of the digestive organs. In the not so distant past, such as digestive disorders, developed mainly adults, these diseases are still the same extent and subject to the children.

Kelly Dorfman, author of What's Eating Your Child?, Emphasizes how important it is for parents to recognize the signs of the time of intolerance in their children, and the time taken certain measures to mitigate these problems.

Here are 7 signs of food intolerance:

First Vomit

Vomiting can be the result of intolerance to casein, a milk protein. In this case you need at least a week to get all dairy products from the diet of the child, and the mother's diet if you are still breastfeeding. In the market there are so many free dairy products difficult to digest casein forms, and to repair any damage caused to the gut enrich the child nutrition probiotics.

Second Chronic diarrhea

Diarrhea can be the result of gluten intolerance or lactose, and is often accompanied by bloating and frequent winds. If it is lactose intolerance, you should avoid fermented milk products because the lactose in them is often very low.

It takes a few months of eating out all dairy products and soy-based foods.

Such skin problems can be a reaction to a combination of gluten, casein, eggs, and some fruits (oranges, grapefruit, lemon, strawberry and pineapple).
In this case it is best to send your child allergic to blood tests to eliminate allergic reactions as a cause of skin changes.

Hyperactivity may be due to sensitivity to chemical dyes or even I sugar is added to the increased number of large industrial foods. A British study from 2007. The connect up to 6 different colors for foods with increased hyperactivity in children. The countries of the European Union, therefore, require the presence of such dyes is featured on the label.
The best solution to these problems is the selection of organically produced foods that do not contain any artificial colors or added sugar.

6th Irritability

Possible cause irritability is intolerance to gluten. Sensitivity to gluten can cause some neurological symptoms, not just indigestion. Some of the symptoms such as irritability, headaches, loss of coordination and ADHD.

7th Small stature or the finicky palates

Too high selectivity in children when it comes to food can be caused by intolerance to gluten or zinc deficiency in the body. In addition, celijakalija generally can cause difficulty in growing children and small stature is one of its symptoms. Zinc deficiency, on the other hand, tends to decrease appetite in children which in turn has an impact on growth and development, I even hormone levels.

In this case it is advised to avoid gluten for at least a month and undergoing blood tests to determine levels of zinc in the body. For each case, with a proper diet, you can easily replace the zinc adequate diet supplements.
