Dr Rodney Ford is a Paediatric Gastroenterologist, Nutrition Consultant and an Allergist.

Dr Ford has been involved in ground-breaking work in the areas of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), breastfeeding, caffeine exposure, food allergy and gluten problems.

Doctor Rodney Ford says “Professionally, I am a paediatrician (a doctor who looks after children) and I have ongoing gastroenterology (gut) and food allergy training. I run the Children’s Gastroenterology and Allergy Clinic in Christchurch, New Zealand. I see thousands of sick children every year with food allergy and food intolerances. I help most of them get better.”

I believe that :
“the decisions we made yesterday cannot be right for all time”.
I love life! I am an enthusiastic person and I love to help people. Hopefully I can help you.
In medicine, I have spent my career tackling controversial topics. I started with food allergy when it was not fashionable. I struck lots of opposition from my medical colleagues. However, eventually most now agree with me. Food allergy does exist and is now an important part of everyday medicine.
I tackled cot death (SIDS) with a group of NZ doctors. We were told that we were much too ambitious, and that we were wasting out time. They said that we would never find an answer – but we did. Consequently, thousands of babies are alive today who might otherwise have died of SIDS.
