The key to an allergy-free diet is to avoid giving your child the foods or products containing the food he/she is allergic to. The items that your child is allergic to are called allergens.

Be sure to avoid foods that contain any of the following ingredients:

  • abalone
  • clam (cherrystone, littleneck, pismo, quahog)
