Description
Hanna Sikorska-Szaflik, Joanna Połomska, and Barbara Sozańska reviewed how food allergy affects teens, in a paper published in 2025. Allergies to milk, egg, wheat, and soy often fade with age, while those to nuts, fish, and shellfish tend to last into the teen years.
Avoiding trigger foods is still the main treatment, but strict diets can leave teens short of key nutrients and can slow growth. Teens also face fear of eating the wrong food by chance, strain with friends, and shame about carrying their emergency injector. The authors call for care teams that pair allergy doctors with diet and mental health experts, plus training that builds teens' own skills.
