NI child's severe allergies as just touching certain foods trigger symptoms

A mum based in Co Down has opened up on her daughter's severe allergies and praised the support they have received.

Now four years old, Seren is no longer allergic to wheat, but the other allergies remain. Her symptoms are so severe that even touching foods containing milk, eggs, and nuts can cause her to cough and have a rash. "I started trying her on formula, but she would projectile vomit the entire bottle. I'd never seen anything like it. I thought it was strange but thought she may have got a bit of a tummy bug. So we tried again a couple of days later, but the same thing happened, it was like her body totally rejected the milk.

"We were having to be so careful with everything and it was really difficult weaning her because we couldn't use the standard things that people would would wean babies on to, as we were having to be so careful about allergens and introduce her so carefully." "Then her sister dripped some ice cream on her arm and she started coughing, which is really severe as coughing is actually a sign of anaphylaxis. When she was two, she ended up in anaphylaxis as she liked a piece of pavement chalk she was holding, which we didn't realise contains milk.
