...a short message, which might include a phone number. You can apply one of these food allergy tattoos on the first day of school or camp, when sending your little one to a birthday party or picnic, or just in case.

Examples of prebiotics that you may see on food labels include inulin, fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and polyols, including lactulose (1). Types of carbohydrates that are prebiotics can also be found naturally in many foods including human breast milk, whole grains, bananas, garlic, onions, artichokes and honey. This list...
