Daily Recommended Intakes

Having a child with multiple food allergies is challenging in many ways. One of the large tasks of food allergy is to ensure proper nutrition while removing an entire line of food, sometimes a whole food family.   If there can be a food that replaces the allergenic food that has been removed, nutrients can be filled in.  If there is no replacement, you can risk a nutritional deficiency.   Having a Registered Dietitian help analyze the diet for nutritional adequacy is very helpful and reassuring.   But in between dietitian visits, or in the absence of one, there are online resources that can be a guidance. One useful one is this one from the USDA.
