Allermix FAQ | Allergen Introduction & Allergy Support

When should I start introducing allergens to my baby?

You can begin introducing allergens as soon as your baby is ready to start solids, typically around 4–6 months. Studies suggest that early and consistent introduction of allergens may reduce the risk of food allergies, especially when the allergen is kept in the diet regularly.

How do I introduce allergens to my baby using Allermix?

Allermix provides an easy-to-follow, step-by-step guide to help you introduce allergens gradually. Simply mix the powdered form into your baby’s regular foods and enjoy the journey!

Can my baby have a reaction to the allergens in the kit?

Although early introduction of allergens has been shown to reduce the risk of developing food allergies, reactions can still occur. Genetics, the gut microbiome, and other factors play a role. Severe allergic reactions are rare, but it's essential to watch for signs. If you’re unsure or have concerns, consult your healthcare provider.

What are common signs of an allergic reaction in babies?

Signs of an allergic reaction can include hives, vomiting, diarrhea, swelling, difficulty breathing, or a sudden drop in blood pressure. If you notice any of these symptoms, stop giving the food and seek medical attention immediately.

Do I need to keep giving allergens once they’ve been introduced?

Yes! It’s crucial to maintain regular exposure to allergens to help reduce the risk of allergies. Allermix makes it easy to keep allergens in your child’s diet as they grow, so their immune system remains accustomed to these foods.

How is Allermix different from other allergy introduction products?

Allermix is made with real food in its purest form, without any additives. It's designed to be simple and effective, with a step-by-step guide that supports parents through the entire process of introducing allergens and maintaining them in the diet.

What allergens are included in Allermix?

Allermix contains a carefully selected range of the most common food allergens such as peanuts, eggs, sesame, soy and those that can be challenging to introduce safely due to choking risks such as peanut, tree nuts (almonds, cashews, hazelnuts, and walnuts).

Are there other important allergens outside of what Allermix offers?

Yes, while Allermix focuses on key allergens that are more difficult to introduce or carry higher choking risks—such as peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, and soy—there are other common allergens like milk, wheat, fish, shellfish, and mustard. Milk and wheat are typically easier to introduce through everyday foods like cereals and dairy products, making them less of a priority for specialized products. Fish, shellfish, and mustard may not be regular parts of some families’ diets, which can make consistent exposure challenging. Allermix is designed to complement your baby’s introduction to allergens by providing support for those that are more difficult to incorporate.

Can I use Allermix if my baby already has a known allergy?

If your baby has been diagnosed with a food allergy, consult your healthcare provider before using Allermix or introducing new allergens. They can help guide you on the best approach for managing food allergies and ensuring safety.

How do I store Allermix?

Store Allermix in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. See best before date on your product box.

Is Allermix suitable for babies with other dietary restrictions?

Yes, Allermix is free from any additives or unnecessary ingredients. It contains only the allergens themselves, in their purest form. However, if your baby has any specific dietary restrictions or concerns, it’s best to consult with your healthcare provider.
