This can be challenging because so many foods are made with eggs and egg derivatives.<\/li>\n<li>In case of an emergency, doctors recommend that children 12 or 13 and older (depending on the maturity of the child) with a severe egg allergy or their parents keep a shot of epinephrine with them in an easy-to-carry container that looks like a pen (this device is also called an EpiPen).<\/li>\n<li>It should come as no surprise that baked goods, baking mixes, cereals, cookies, custards, and ice cream are made with eggs, but candies, hot dogs, meatballs, fast foods, and salad dressings can include egg derivatives as well.<\/li>\n<li>Look for &#8211; and avoid &#8211; these egg products on labels: dried egg, egg white, egg white solids, egg yolk, egg solids, powdered egg, egg substitutes, and whole egg.<\/li>\n<li>There are many products and food ingredients that contain egg products, but whose names don&#39;t always include the word egg, such as albumin and ingredients that begin with the prefix &#8216;ovo.&#8217; To ensure that your child isn&#39;t eating any food with egg products in it, read and acquaint yourself with all of the ingredients and egg products that should be avoided.<\/li>\n<li>Because otherwise nutritious foods may have to be eliminated, it&#39;s important to ensure that an egg-allergic child&#39;s diet is well balanced. A pediatric registered dietitian can make sure all required nutrients are provided in the food the child is able to eat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Abkhazia Institue offers advice to parents of children who are allergic to eggs: There&#39;s no easy way around it &#8211; the only way to treat an egg allergy is to eliminate eggs and foods made with eggs from the&hellip; <\/p>\n<ul class=\"post-categories\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.achooallergy.com\/blog\/category\/allergy-tips\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Allergy tips<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[189],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.achooallergy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5255"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.achooallergy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.achooallergy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.achooallergy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.achooallergy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5255"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.achooallergy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5255\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.achooallergy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5255"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.achooallergy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5255"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.achooallergy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5255"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
