Food
allergies are a condition where the body’s immune system becomes
hypersensitized. As a result of this hypersensitized state, it mistakenly
believes that food entering the body is harmful and creates antibodies to
counteract it. So, the next time you eat that food, the immune system releases
massive amounts of these antibodies and other chemicals, including histamine,
as a protective measure against the “harmful” substance.

The
release of these chemicals is what triggers your food allergies to act up. The
allergic symptoms could affect any part of the body, but mostly the respiratory
system, gastrointestinal tract, skin, and the cardiovascular system. An
estimated 11 million Americans suffer from true food allergies, with symptoms
ranging from the mildly inconvenient to uncomfortable to complete collapse of
major organs of the body, a condition known as anaphylaxis.

Symptoms
and Treatment
allergies
If
you’ve had allergic reactions before, then you probably are already familiar
with the symptoms of food allergies. It could range from a tingling sensation
in the mouth, the swelling of the tongue and the throat, difficulty breathing,
hives, vomiting, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, drop in blood pressure, and loss
of consciousness to death. Typically, the symptoms appear within minutes or two
hours after the person has eaten the food he or she is allergic to.
The
best treatment to food allergies is strict avoidance of foods you have allergic
reactions to. There are no medications as of yet that would totally cure food
allergies. Your doctor would probably prescribe drugs to treat the symptoms,
but as to cure, there is none so far. Epinephrine, also called “adrenaline,” is
the medication of choice for controlling a severe reaction.
Most
people do outgrow their food allergies. However, peanuts, nuts, fish, and
shellfish are considered lifelong allergies. Some research is currently being
done in this area and the results look promising.

Still,
your best chance of overcoming food allergies is to avoid foods that you are
allergic to. It might help if you read ingredient labels for all foods. If the
food has no label, you should avoid eating it all together. And if the label
contains unfamiliar terms, ask the manufacturer for a definition or avoid
eating that food.
Avoidance
Method
Having
food allergies doesn’t mean that you ought to stop eating foods that you are
otherwise not allergic to. Just because you think you’re allergic to something
doesn’t mean that you really are allergic. Taking food out of your diet could
result in unbalanced diet, which could lead to other health problems. In
addition, you may reach a point where you become frustrated because you think
that everything you eat causes food allergies.
By
avoidance, we don’t mean complete avoidance of foods. Try to keep a food diary
where you make a list of all the foods that you’ve eaten for the day and
whether or not you suffered any allergies as a result. The information you
garner from your list could help you determine exactly what foods trigger what,
and could also give your doctor important information about your food allergies.
