Are You Suffering From A Food Allergy Symptom?
Dear Friend, You may be surprised to discover that 1 out of 70 adults suffer from food allergies. If you aren’t sure if you are suffering with a food allergy symptom you should learn how to determine what a real food allergy is.
A food allergy is an illness in which the immune system considers a food allergy symptom as harmful so it defends itself. The reaction is the body fighting off the food that’s the problem. Your Doctor can test to determine what foods you are actually allergic to, and you should also consider any food allergies, eczema, or asthma that runs in your family.
The first food allergy symptom you are likely to see is swelling and itching. If this occurs in the throat, tongue, or mouth it can be a life threatening event and you should seek medical attention. Other symptoms include itchy red eyes, runny nose, coughing, wheezing, hives, or skin rash. Symptoms may take a while to develop and mild outbreaks can be treated with histamines but more serious occurrences need a Doctor.
Common food allergies include shellfish, nuts, peanuts, and fish, are common allergies in adults, while cow’s milk, dairy products, and wheat are very common in children. If a food allergy symptom occurs and you are having difficulty determining what food is causing it your Doctor can help you.
A Doctor that specializes in allergies will look at each food allergy symptom and then ask you about medications and foods that you eat. They can also use the skin prick test to determine which foods you are allergic to.
The skin prick test is commonly used to determine food allergies. A small amount of a food extract is injected into the surface of the skin. If a food allergy symptom occurs then you can assume that you have an allergy to that food, however remember it can be wrong.
When you have a food allergy symptom it is simply your body’s way of warning you about a problem. For that reason you should never ignore those symptoms. Food allergies can be serious. Why risk your healthy and in some cases your life when there are options.
