Food allergy and intolerance week

Sponsored by Rice Dream, the 10^th of these weeks takes place from 24 to 28 January 2011 .   It is intended to raise awareness of food allergies from mild to extreme – including nuts, gluten intolerance and lactose intolerance.

 It could be that your allergic patient cannot use dairy products or soya and if this is so then Rice Dream is said to be a good alternative as it may be used, like milk, on cereals or in tea and coffee or even as a cold drink because it is 100% natural, is lactose-free and low in fats.  Rice, itself, is hypoallergenic.

Rice Dream is available in five flavours: original organic, calcium enriched, vanilla, chocolate, and hazelnut and almond.  

If your patient is low on calcium and on a dairy-free diet then 200ml of Rice Dream + Ca provides 30% of the daily allowance.
