Treatment of IgE-mediated food allergy involves avoiding the food causing the allergic reaction. In association, an action plan for allergic reactions is indicated, sometimes including self-injectable adrenaline. In addition to these dietary and medical implications, there are two equally important ones: nutritional and psychosocial. From a nutritional point of view, it is known that children suffering from food allergy have a growth delay in height and weight compared to their non-allergic peers. Specifically, this condition is directly related to the specific food excluded from the diet, the number of foods excluded and the duration of the elimination diet. From a psychosocial point of view, the child often cannot eat the foods other guests eat. Children with food allergy may perceive an aura of parental anxiety around their mealtime and may be afraid that what they eat could have harmful consequences for their health. Furthermore, children's and their parents' quality of life appears to be affected. The need to manage the allergy and the nutritional and psychosocial problems positions the pediatric nutritionist and the child neuropsychiatrist as support figures for the pediatric allergist in managing the child with food allergy.
