When a child is allergic to a particular food, family members face a challenge in selecting and preparing meals. But a few parents refuse to have peanut butter around their house. They can't, because even a trace of that perennial favorite could send their child to the hospital. When a child has a food allergy, a lot of the old standbys like peanut butter go out the door. Not if your child has a milk allergy.
Ice cream is out as well.
Not for the kid with a wheat allergy. As much as having a food allergy is a challenge for the person affected, it can be an even greater challenge for family members who are responsible for preparing meals. They have to learn about substitutes for common ingredients like flour, then try to find them. They have to become avid label-readers. They have to find new recipes that their kids will like, and hammer home to their children what they can and cannot eat.
