    In some cases, particularly in children, strict adherence to an elimination diet appears to promote the process of outgrowing a food allergy.

    Extractions: 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.

    Extractions: Update on Food Allergy in the Dog and Cat Stephen White United States Etiology  Food allergy is defined as an immunologically based reaction to food. In most clinical cases, the exact etiology is not well understood. Immunologic mechanisms of types I-IV have been hypothesized. In contrast, food intolerance is a general term describing any adverse reaction to food that does not have an immunologic basis, including food poisoning (caused by the direct action of a toxin). From a practical basis, the mechanism of action does not impact the clinician faced with a potential case of chronic food-caused cutaneous disease. It is theorized that most food allergens are proteins. Signalment No sex predilection has been reported for food allergy in dogs or cats. In some studies, no breed predilection was noted. In contrast, two studies found that certain dog breeds may have a risk for the development of food allergy: Soft-Coated Wheaton Terrier, Dalmatian, West-Highland White Terrier, Collie, Chinese Shar Pei, Llasa Apsa, Cocker Spaniel, Springer Spaniel, Miniature Schnauzer, Labrador Retriever Dachshund and the Boxer. Breed data from Colorado State University shows that retrievers may be at greater risk to develop food allergy than other breeds of dogs. While the age at presentation has been reported as variable, several researchers now feel that at least 33% of their cases in dogs are of animals less than one year of age. Clearly, while food allergy may occur at any time in animal’s life, it should always be considered as a differential of pruritus in the young dog

Quick Donate A food allergy is an immune system response to a food that the body mistakenly believes is harmful. Once the immune system decides that a particular food is harmful, it creates specific antibodies to it. The next time the individual eats that food, the immune system releases massive amounts of chemicals, including histamine, in order to protect the body. These chemicals trigger a cascade of allergic symptoms that can affect the respiratory system, gastrointestinal tract, skin, or cardiovascular system. Scientists estimate that approximately 11 million Americans suffer from true food allergies. At the present time, there is no cure for food allergy. Avoidance is the only way to prevent an allergic reaction.

    Extractions: Home Products and Services Medical Information Send ... Modular Nutrition Asthma Food allergy can cause both immediate and delayed patterns of asthma. Immediate food reactions can cause sudden, dramatic and life-threatening asthma is one of the consequences of anaphylactic reactions to food. Delayed patterns of food allergy can cause chronic asthma and/or bronchitis and are among the most neglected causes of chronic or "intrinsic" asthma. Diet revision can sometimes resolve chronic and severe asthma. Patients with delayed pattern food allergy have the most severe and persistent inflammatory form of chronic asthma. Here are the basic ideas about asthma causes and treatment: Asthma is allergy until proven otherwise. Allergy comes from airborne and food sources. Solve asthma by improving air quality and doing diet revision. The three basic treatment choices are: Remove the Cause of Asthma Treat the symptoms Alter the host to be more tolerate of the causes Remove the Food Causes Asthma is one of the 3 manifestations of a pattern of allergy, called atopy. The associated disorders are eczema and hay fever. Often patients have positive skin tests to inhalant allergens which cause hay fever and may have skin reactions to foods which prove to be a problem. Foods that produce significant positive skin tests should be avoided in the diet; however, other foods that do not show skin reactions may contribute to the disease. If all the attention is directed toward the more obvious skin-positive inhalant allergies, an opportunity to benefit from comprehensive diet revision is lost.

    Extractions: Food Allergy is Common During the first year of life, the infant diet is the most powerful determinant of the growth and development of the child and food allergy is the most common health problem. Many studies show that breast feeding is best and that the feeding of solid foods is best delayed 4 to 6 months to reduce the risk of food allergy. Food allergy in infancy is expressed as crying, colic, vomiting, diarrhea, rashes, eczema and cold-like respiratory congestion. Some infants with food allergy become seriously ill and fail to thrive unless their allergy is recognized and corrected. Infants who develop food allergy in their first year may "outgrow" the first effects but tend to grow into children with more pervasive health, behavior and learning problems unless their diet is properly managed. There are different types of food allergy. The immediate or

    Extractions: Food Allergy People with food allergies have an unusually sensitive immune system. A true food allergy occurs when the bodys immune system reacts to a protein from a particular food that has been swallowed. This protein is called an allergen. The allergen causes the persons own antibodies to attack the foreign substance. This starts a chain reaction of chemical changes which cause swelling and irritation in certain parts of the body. Reaction may occur immediately, in a few minutes, or several hours after the food is eaten. For example, a person with a milk allergy must avoid

    Extractions: Sephen Levine, Ph. D. Have you ever eaten something - a bowl of ice cream, a piece of cheese, an orange - and felt hungrier than before? Do you have urges for a particular food and find it hard to satisfy your craving unless you eat that particular food? If the answer is "yes" to either of these questions, then you have a food allergy. If you are also fat, then chances are your food allergy is making you fat. Food sensitivities may cause allergic people to crave those foods to which they are allergic. Just as a drug addict suffers withdrawal symptoms when the drug is withdrawn, allergic people experience discomfort when they lose access to a particular food. Obese people can testify to the overwhelming power of food allergy addiction. Compulsive eaters crave and continue to eat those allergenic foods to which they are addicted day after day. The obese person has no idea that his daily food cravings or eating habits are based on a physiological need to stop withdrawal symptoms caused by food allergy addiction. The phenomenon of simultaneous allergy and addiction to both foods and chemicals is now well accepted by doctors specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of allergies. These specialists, known as clinical ecologists, believe that many chronic health problems, such as migraine, fatigue, depression, and arthritis are caused by allergies to foods and chemicals and affect approximately one-third of the population living in industrialized countries.

    Extractions: The foods we consume do not contain antihistamine. FYI, Antihistamines are prescriptions you can take to interrupt your body's production of histamines in response to allergens in the environment. However, diet can still play an important role in controlling allergic reactions. A healthy, balanced diet that follows the recommendations of the Food Guide Pyramid is the first key to defending your body against allergic reactions. A healthy body is more resistant to attack, whereas stress, poor diet, insufficient sleep, emotional trauma, and infection can predispose your body to allergic reactions. More specifically, vitamin C and vitamin E can help protect your body. Vitamin C will boost your immune system and is found in citrus foods such as oranges, grapefruit, orange juice, grapefruit juice, green peppers and many beverages. Vitamin C acts similar to an antihistamine. Vitamin E is found in plant oils and green, leafy vegetables. With allergies in mind, the best diet to follow is one with plenty of carbohydrates and fresh fruits and vegetables. Hopefully the next frost will bring you relief from your allergies!

Food allergy is an allergic reaction - a hypersensitivity reaction, to something that has been eaten. However, it should not be confused with food intolerance, which is completely different. In both cases you get symptoms when you eat a certain kind of food even in small quantities, Food allergy is very rare and therefore it is important if you suspect that you or your children are allergic to a type of food, to have an accurate diagnosis from your doctor or a specialist in allergic diseases. A lot of people avoid eating things to which they mistakenly believe they are allergic.

    Extractions: One man's meat is another man's poison is an old saying that could not be truer than from a nutritionist's point of view. 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). 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).

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.

    Extractions: Ten Key Facts: Producing foods for consumers with food allergy Food allergy occurs in people who react in a reproducible way by mounting an immune response to foods that can be consumed by the majority of the population without ill effect. A typical feature of this response is the production of IgE antibodies. The only therapeutic option available to treat food allergy is avoidance of the problem foods, and for the severely allergic to carry adrenaline. Foods most commonly associated with allergy are egg, milk, soya, fish, shellfish, peanuts, tree nuts (such as hazelnuts) and gluten-containing cereals. Although the popular press report that 20-30% of the population is affected by food allergy, there is evidence to show that IgE mediated food allergy affects just 1-2% of children and less than 1% of adults in the general population. Many children with a food allergy grow out of it by the time they start school. For those with allergy, the problem must be taken seriously. The food industry has a responsibility to offer choice to consumers and ensure that declarations on food labels are correct so that consumers can choose with confidence. With increasing research, there may be more opportunities for the food industry to reduce the allergen load in food and this could give real benefits to the population. Reduced allergen loads in foods may be achieved by selection of raw materials naturally low in allergens, as well as by processing strategies that reduce allergenicity. For those who are severely allergic (
