Before assuming to remove lactose, gluten or other foods, we should consult the pediatrician.
It is increasingly common to find families where they have decided to remove certain foods because they are not nutritionally good and we find restrictive diets of gluten, meat, lactose for all members of the family , including the youngest.
But recently, Dr. Francisco Javier Martín, an expert in gastroenterology at the Sant Joan de Déu Hospital in Barcelona, stated that in recent years an increase in children with neurological deficits has been detected as a consequence of not eating meat, due to a vegan family diet.
The specialist also comments that? At the minimum symptom of digestive upset, many parents decide to stop providing milk to their children, because they assume that it is the result of an intolerance to this highly demonized product. But if you eliminate milk from the diet of children, in a growth stage, without being advised by a specialist fruit of an intolerance or allergy , that decision is jeopardizing proper development, and the same is true of gluten.
For this reason, experts recommend that before restricting something to children, you should consult a specialist and comment that the Mediterranean diet is a good food option since? From a nutritional point of view it is very balanced, it also contains beneficial fats for health, such as those provided by olive oil and fish ?.
Fortunately, in countries like Italy, a step has been taken to protect children from their parents’ poor food choices. And this started after the terrible news that a little one from Genoa was in a coma for several days due to the deficiencies in fundamental vitamins derived from a diet of these characteristics. So the Italian Parliament is processing a bill that provides prison terms for those parents who feed their children with restrictive diets.
