People suffering from Food Allergies need to be able to get information about the food you make or sell in order for them to decide can they eat this food without having an allergic reaction. Without medication these reactions can be serious.

Many people wonder whether or not they will outgrow their allergies. Although allergic asthma may spontaneously improve, particularly during adolescence, it may also worsen or reoccur later in life. It is no longer thought that people outgrow these diseases. The diseases sometimes can become dormant and you may be free of symptoms. Still, allergic disease can return or even have its initial onset later in life.

We know that the predisposition to allergies is genetic. While we are not sure of the exact mechanism of inheritance, we know that children born to allergic parents have an increased risk of developing allergy. The exact risk has not been established but one can consider that approximately one-third to one-half of children born to parents where only one parent is allergic will have allergies, and 50 to 70 percent of children born to parents both of whom have allergies will become allergic.

ADHD continues into adulthood in most cases. However, by developing their strengths, structuring their environments, and using medication when needed, adults with ADHD can lead very productive lives. In some careers, having a high-energy behavior pattern can be an asset.

It depends. Asthma usually gets much better in adolescence, so a child with mild asthma might have no symptoms as a teenager, and a child with serious asthma symptoms will have fewer problems as a teenager. However, in many cases the child's lungs may still be inflamed, as shown on lung function tests. In these cases, asthma may return in later life, usually in the 30's or 40's. Experts don't know why that is.

Most children will outgrow their epilepsy but it is hard for doctors to predict which ones. Children who have normal development, a normal EEG, and no seizures while they're taking medication have the best chance. So do children with certain types of epilepsy that are usually outgrown. These include the reflex epilepsies and benign rolandic epilepsy. Children with benign rolandic epilepsy routinely stop medications after age 15.

It will be your responsibility to check for food allergies and to inform us of any concerns. If a guest should have severe allergies that we are unable to accommodate then either you or the child's parent should provide alternate refreshments for that child.

While some children's asthma symptoms do seem to improve with time, most children with asthma do not outgrow it. Asthma attacks are triggered by a variety of things.

In children, the most common triggers are exposure to cigarette smoke, colds and infections, and environmental allergies (dust, pollens, pets).

No. This is a genetic disorder not an illness like the flu. To date there is no cure for this genetic disorder. Some children experience improvement in starch digestion between the ages of one and three and a half years old. After that we have not been able to document any improvement in starch digestion. We also have no data to support any child improving sucrose digestion regardless of age for all of the children we track.

The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) did a study that began in Connecticut in the 1970's and followed a group of children from kindergarten through college. The results showed "that of the children who were reading disabled in grade three, (and received no reading remediation)...74% remained disabled in grade nine.

Bedwetting resolves with time or treatment in the majority of children. A follow-up study in the United Kingdom during the sixties showed that about 15% of children who wet the bed became dry every year. Parents should not wait for their child to outgrow the bedwetting. Modern treatment can lead to earlier dryness and a better quality of life.

Currently, there are no medications that cure food allergies. Strict avoidance is the only way to prevent a reaction.

However, it can be noted that children develop more allergies as they grow up, instead of outgrowing them, particularly at the age of nineteen. These allergies will apparently disappear at older age.

However, allergies can also be much more subtle and present with more chronic symptoms of congestion, post nasal drip, chest tightness and a general feeling of malaise (just not feeling well).
