Making sense of food allergies and intolerances.
From cow’s milk protein allergy to complex elimination diets, we’re here to help you navigate allergies with expert care and calm reassurance.
Understanding your child’s reactions with confidence and clarity
Food allergies and intolerances can feel overwhelming — especially when symptoms seem confusing, unpredictable, or distressing for your child. At Cubs Paediatric Dietetics, we help families make sense of what’s going on, providing clear, evidence-based support for both IgE and non-IgE allergies.
Whether your child is experiencing hives, delayed digestive symptoms, eczema flare-ups, persistent reflux, or discomfort after eating certain foods, we’re here to help you identify triggers safely and confidently — without restricting more foods than necessary.
How We Help
Every child’s allergy story is different. We take the time to understand your child’s full picture — their symptoms, feeding history, growth, routines, and past reactions — so we can provide clear, practical recommendations that genuinely work for your family.
Our approach is gentle, thorough, and always guided by the latest paediatric allergy evidence. We support families through each step of diagnosis, elimination, and reintroduction, making the process feel as calm and manageable as possible. We also work closely with paediatricians, allergists, and GPs to ensure your child’s care is cohesive, accurate, and fully supported at every stage.
Common concerns we can help with include:
Immediate symptoms such as hives, swelling, vomiting or breathing difficulties after eating certain foods. We help families navigate avoidance, and safe nutrition.
Delayed reactions like reflux, diarrhoea, eczema, mucus/blood in stools, or persistent discomfort. We guide families through safe elimination and reintroduction steps.
Support to identify triggers, select nutritionally appropriate alternatives, and prevent unnecessary restrictions.
When symptoms appear both immediately and hours later, we provide structured assessment and management.
Step-by-step guidance for reintroducing allergens safely, helping children build tolerance over time.
Specialist support for infants experiencing vomiting, diarrhoea, blood/mucus in stools or distress after eating trigger foods.
Clear, practical education for shopping safely without limiting your child more than necessary.
Balanced, realistic eating plans to protect growth, avoid deficiencies, and support everyday family life.
