Managing Food Intolerance at School

Practical guidance and strategies for effectively handling food intolerances within a school environment.

Food intolerance reactions might not show up right away and can take several hours, or even days, to appear. Watch out for signs like tummy troubles (like bloating, gas, or diarrhea), skin problems (like itching or rashes), respiratory issues (like a runny nose or sneezing), or general discomfort (like headaches or feeling tired). Food intolerances can also impact behaviors, such as depression or ADHD. If your child frequently feels unwell after eating certain foods, it might be a sign of food intolerance.

Having a food intolerance doesn't mean your child can't enjoy eating! It's all about finding what foods work best for their body. The best course of action to get clear answers would be to take a food intolerance test so that you are aware of foods their body is intolerant of. ADHD and other behavioral changes may also be impacted by their food intolerances. In case of accidental exposure, it's important to understand how to manage the symptoms and when to seek medical help.
