food allergy guidelines

Food allergy guidelines recommend identifying and avoiding specific allergens through careful reading of labels, and being prepared to manage accidental exposures. For individuals at risk, early introduction of allergenic foods may help reduce allergy development, under medical supervision. In case of an allergic reaction, quick administration of antihistamines or epinephrine (auto-injectors) is critical, and seeking emergency care is important. Everyone with known allergies should have an action plan, and those around them should be educated on recognizing reactions and providing help. Regular follow-ups with healthcare providers ensure appropriate management and updates on allergy status.
