AB  - Incidence of food allergy has been increasing and is more commonly seen in 
      children. Allergic reactions can vary, with symptoms ranging from mild to severe. 
      This article aims to explore the immunological mechanisms involved in food 
      allergy, as well as distinguishing between immunoglobulin E (IgE) mediated and 
      non-IgE-mediated reactions. Careful diagnosis of the allergic child is essential 
      and the article describes validated tests carried out in this process. Adopting a 
      multidisciplinary approach to the management of children with allergies is vital 
      because it ensures patients and carers are supported, empowered and therefore 
      able to enjoy an improved quality of life.
