chances of allergies grow the eieralr that certain foods containing protein are introduced. Because infants still have immature immune systems their bodies are more likely to produce an allergic reaction.The chances of outgrowing the allergy depends on the food. If a baby has an allergy to peanuts, tree nuts, fish or shellfish it is very rarely outgrown. Other allergies though like those to milk, eggs, berries etc can be outgrown but not every person will outgrow them. if the allergy is still present at about 12 years old the chance that it will be outgrown is slim. Other foods will only produce a reaction if a certain amount of the food is ingested. this is generally more of an intolerance though.
