What happens if the kid is already in care and then is found to have food allergies? Just asking because one of my little had issues lots of nasal issues but she occasionally had constipation problems; by age 2 she was tested & found to have allergies to 20+ foods alone & I had been caring for her since birth - turns out allergies to food can cause tummy issues (like severe smelly poops, constipation etc). 3/4 of the meals here were vegetarian & her favorite foods were the ones she couldn't eat anymore. They included dairy, soy, eggs, apples, mushrooms, bananas.
I now have baby brother in care & unlike her, he is only allergic to bananas that we can tell (same tummy issues she showed after he eats them). She aged out
