What are the chances of out-growing a food allergy if you started getting your allergies when you were a child?

Possible: Many children who had food allergies outgrow them with time. But it varies with the type of food. Kids that are allergic to soy, eggs and cow´s milk mostly outgrow the problem by their teen years. The story is different for tree nuts and peanuts, these usually persist.

Depends: The most common food allergies are egg, milk, wheat, soy, peanut, tree nuts and fish/shell fish. Most will outgrow egg, milk, wheat and soy. Some will outgrow peanut and tree nut. Shellfish not too many outgrow.
