			<description><![CDATA[I think you've absolutely hit the nail on the head there Tara! The differing of opinions within the NHS is so extreme. You're told one thing by one GP, the complete opposite by another..... it's hard to know who to listen to at times! As you say, it becomes a knee-jerk reaction to trying to fix a problem that is essentially a total unknown until you happen to stumble on the cause through a process of elimination!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Thank you for your wonderful comments! It is a worrying situation indeed, and you're right, it's easy to see how desperate parents will do anything to help their children if the NHS has been unable to provide the necessary treatment for whatever reason.
I completely agree with the sugar content issue for food marketing directly at children, and it is something we should definitely all sit up and take note about.
I'm so sorry to hear that you have also had a fight on your hands for diagnosis, and thank goodness you were able to get advise from a trusted source!
Fingers crossed the situation within the NHS starts to improve so that others don't have to endure the suffering our little ones have gone through!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This is a worrying situation. I totally understand why parents are buying such kits when the NHS response can often be too leave children on Movicol and or just call symptoms IBS. I also think it is ridiculous to simply blame malnutrition down to omitting food groups. The children's food market is worth billions and full of highly processed sugar laden food often with a high carb component. This is a much bigger cause of malnutrition in children but too many big businesses are starting to see a reduction in sales due to food intolerances etc so let's attack the parents who often have no other choice.
Personally we have been very lucky and advised by an educated (in this field) pedetrician but this has been one individual in a many and it has been very hard work to get answers and eventually with my youngest we had to go outside the NHS and pay for tests that have only just become available in the UK. But it is only because I have spent so much time looking and researching in this area because if my own health issues that we did this.
I think it smells of wider corporate interest when these stories are published in such a blanket form. Where does it leave parents? Feeling more confused, guilty and perhaps reintroducing food that could be damaging to their child's long term health. Food allergies and intolerances are notoriously hard to dx I'd love to see how the research in this case was done. Given that the average Coeliac dx in the NHS takes 10 years!
Great post. Thank you for highlighting this.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Great article. Well doe Nat. So true...the state of allergy understanding in the nhs is appalling. When my daughter was diagnosed with dairy and egg allergy it was after a lot of heartache...and getting a coeliac diagnosis was a whole lot more. The fact that Dr's are happy to diagnose ibs for any tummy problems needs to change. I gave up with the nhs long ago for me.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I think you are spot on with this, especially your key suggestion. It's all such a mess at the moment with different health officials telling you different things which, as a first time mum - let alone first time telling with food issues - I found completely overwhelming. It was desperation that made me start cutting things out of her diet.]]></description>
