So many children these days suffer from all sorts of food intolerances or allergies. Some of the more common intolerances are things such as dairy or lactose intolerance, gluten or wheat intolerance, nut allergies and the like. Some intolerances are more serious than others, like a nut allergy for example could be fatal! Dairy intolerance usually will cause a child to experience symptoms such as a snotty nose, a cough or even a skin rash or eczema. Always remember to chat to the child’s parents about any food allergies if you are required to do any cooking/baking or food preparation for the children.
