Answer to Question 1
The difference between an allergic reaction to a food and intolerance to a food involves the immune system. A child who has food intolerance has an abnormal response to a food, but it does not compromise the general health and well-being of the child. A child who is intolerant to a food can eat small amounts of it and have little or no reaction. A child with an allergy to a food has a response that is triggered from the immune system; such a reaction may bring about a serious medical condition or may be life threatening.
Answer to Question 2
The most common bodily areas where signs of allergy may occur are the mouth and throat. Very young children may pull or scratch at their tongues or their hands in their mouths when they are having a reaction. Older children might tell you that the food is too spicy or that the tongue feels prickly or strange. They also may break out in hives, feel clammy, or possibly faint. For children whose parents do not know they have an allergy, familiarity with common reactions is very important.
