Food Allergy What is food allergy? A food allergy is an abnormal response of the body to a certain food. It is important to know that this is different than a food intolerance, which does not affect the immune system, although some of the same symptoms may be present. What causes food allergy? Before having a food allergy reaction, a sensitive child must have been exposed to the food at least once before, or could also be sensitized through breast milk. It is the second time your child eats the food that the allergic symptoms happen. At that time, when IgE antibodies react with the food, histamines are released, which can cause your child to experience hives, asthma, itching in the mouth, trouble breathing, stomach pains, vomiting, and/or diarrhea.

Food Safety Information May 2004 While allergy to pollen or other environmental sources typically causes a lot of discomfort during spring, summer, and fall, food allergy is one condition that knows no season. According to the National Institutes of Health, true food allergy affects six to seven million Americans (approximately two percent of the U.S. population) and four to eight percent of young children, although surveys show that approximately one in three adults believe they have a food allergy. People tend to diagnose themselves, believing they have allergic reactions to certain foods or food ingredients. Unfortunately, self-diagnosis of food allergy often leads to unnecessary food restrictions, nutrient deficiencies, and misdiagnosis of potential life threatening medical conditions other than food allergy. Therefore, experts urge people to see a board-certified allergist for proper diagnosis of food allergy.

About Food Allergies While an estimated 40 to 50 million Americans have allergies, only one to two percent of all adults are allergic to foods or food additives. Eight percent of children under age six have adverse reactions to ingested foods; only two to five percent have confirmed food allergies. The following information addresses commonly asked questions regarding food allergy. What are symptoms of food allergy? Allergic reactions to foods typically begin within minutes to a few hours after eating the offending food. The frequency and severity of symptoms vary widely from one person to another. Mildly allergic persons may only suffer a runny nose with sneezing, while highly allergic persons may experience severe and life-threatening reactions, such as asthma or swelling of the tongue, lips or throat. The most common symptoms of food allergy involve the skin and intestines. Skin rashes include hives and eczema. Intestinal symptoms typically include vomiting, nausea, stomach cramps, indigestion and diarrhea. Other symptoms can be asthma, with cough or wheezing; rhinitis, often including itchy, stuffy, runny nose and sneezing; and rarely, anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction that may be life threatening. Because these symptoms can be caused by a number of different diseases other than food allergy, your allergist-immunologist may want to examine you to rule them out as the source of your problem.

Canine Health Canine Food Allergies By Diane Morgan Author of The Basset Hound Owner's Survival Guide The most common food allergens are beef, chicken, pork, fish, milk, whey, eggs, corn and soy. All these foods are high in protein. The reason that proteins are so often involved is that they are very large molecules, each component of which can combine with an antibody or immune system T-cell receptor to produce an allergic reaction. Food allergies will show up within 4 to 24 hours of eating the allergenic food, at least in the early stages. Later on, the dog will show symptoms constantly. As in other types of allergies, skin problems are the common signs, but some dogs also vomit, and have diarrhea or gas. If your dog has a year-round itch that doesn't seem affected by weather , I would suspect a food allergy.

Most people can make wheat products their staple diet. But some rare individuals end up with vomiting or diarrhoea when they consume wheat. Such adverse reactions are produced either by the immune system (causing allergic reactions) or by the gastrointestinal system (leading to intolerance). Food Allergy describes the adverse effects brought about by immunological reactions in people sensitive to certain food components (allergens) which are usually proteins. This is also known as Food Sensitivity and is not to be confused with food intolerance where the mechanism is non-immunological. Everybody absorbs some large molecules like proteins, whole. The body's immune system removes these foreign substances (antigens) by producing antibodies that form antigen/antibody complexes. These are metabolised by the liver and in most people cause no reactions. In some, however, they cause allergic reactions either immediate or delayed, through the allergen antibody complex, leading to a release of histamine from mast cells. (An allergen is an antigen that causes allergic reactions). Symptoms may be gastrointestinal - vomiting or diarrhoea. For example, this could be a reaction to the gluten in wheat. Symptoms could also be general - eczema, edema, urticaria, and asthma. For example, this could be caused by a reaction to eggs, strawberries, shellfish. This could also cause rheumatoid arthritis. Classical antigens include egg, fish, shellfish, wheat, nuts, and cow's milk (one percent of infants could be allergic to this).

Tell us what you think Search Store finder You are here: Foods Home Producing our Food Diet and Nutrition Allergies and Intolerances Allergies and intolerances The difference between food allergy and food intolerance Food allergy and food intolerance are both reactions to food. They are quite different although confusion exists between the two. Food allergy When a person is allergic to a specific food, it triggers an immune response that doesn't occur in the majority of people. Allergic reactions are usually localised to a particular part of the body. Symptoms may include asthma, eczema, flushing, swelling of the tissues (usually the lips) or difficulty breathing The severity of the immune response varies in individuals. However, if someone has a sever food allergy they may suffer an anaphylactic shock (rapid fall in blood pressure and severe shock) which can be life threatening Food allergies can be caused by any food but the most common foods are milk, eggs, wheat, peanuts, shellfish and fish Sometimes children grow out of their allergy during childhood but others are present for life Food intolerance When a person is food intolerant, they will have a reaction to specific foods but these do not necessarily result in an immune response and are generally not life threatening

Add your comments Reader Comments Posted Jul 19, 2005, 8:33 PM ET by Missy I've found that some allergies are dose specific. My 7 month old son, Anthony, was exclusively breastfed up until 6 months, although we did supplement with formula when he was a newborn. He has a corn allergy, which we found out with the introduction of Tylenol drops prior to 4 months of age (corn syrup in them). If he has it, he gets diarrhea, eczema, etc. If I drink corn syrup through cola or have corn products, it doesn't seem to affect him. Our dairy experience was a bit different than yours, however. He developed a pretty bad allergy to cow's milk, probably from that formula supplement early on. Any tiny amount of dairy in my diet (even small amounts of dairy derived caramel color, whey, casein, hard cheeses or butter) and the kid gets almost instant diarrhea and a nasty rash. Thank goodness he's not anaphylactic.

Can Allergies Cause Behavior Problems? You may have heard conflicting information on this subject. There are many, many parents who swear dietary changes helped their ADD child, and yet most doctors and researchers deny that food allergies or sensitivities can cause the behaviors associated with ADD, their conclusions supposedly based on studies. If allergies can cause ADD behaviors, then shouldn't the studies verify that? The answer is yes, if the studies were designed properly. But according to The Center For Science in the Public Interest report in 1999 that concludes ADHD CAN be caused by foods and food additives After reading books, studies, and talking with affected parents I am convinced that some people (not just kids!) are reacting to foods and food additives by exhibiting ADD behavior. Not all, but some. Which people are most likely to be reacting to a food? ALLERGIC people (stuffy nose, eczema, asthma).
