Food exclusions
Excluding specific foods from your child's diet should be done under dietetic supervision. Please find below a range of information to support the advice you have been provided by your dietitian.
If you are unsure what foods, you are required to exclude or the reasons why please contact the team.

Booking and planning for the appointment
The service uses an online booking portal. This allows parents to select initial or follow up appointments up to 2 weeks in advance. The online appointment booking link is sent via a text message. Please select the link at the bottom of the text message to open the booking portal. When promoted please enter the child’s date of birth. The link is only active for 7 days.
If families need to change the booked appointment, please contact the team: 0300 300 1530. Please leave a message with the child's name, date of birth, appointment details and reason for cancellation. Their records will be updated and a text message with a new booking link will be sent, typically within 2 working days.
On the day of the appointment, we ask that parents be ready to take the call. The call will be from an unknown number or private phone number. The dietitian will not be able to fully complete their assessment if parents are preoccupied (i.e out shopping, driving or at a baby group) or answer the call late.
The call may be terminated, and the appointment may need to be rebooked, if parents are preoccupied or answer the call late. Failing to attend the planned booked appointment or failure to book an appointment may result in the child being discharged back to the care of their GP. A new referral will be needed. This may also impact the ongoing prescription of any prescribed formula.
If families are having issues accessing the portal please contact the team.
