Food Allergies could explain your symptoms
90% of food allergies are due to gluten and dairy products. It is well worth everyone cutting these out of your diet for a week. Failing that, keep a diary of when you consume them and notice if any problems consistently occur in the next 6 hours. Not all allergies have obvious effects. I have a long-running back problem which improved tenfold when I stopped eating gluten. Nor are allergies necessarily permanent. I managed to cure my own gluten allergy using timeline therapy (crazy huh?). There is also an NLP Allergy Cure which works somewhat like the Fast Phobia Cure Minor allergies can become much worse if our immune system is weakened. Allergy testing can be quite expensive and I'm not sure if anyone has tested its validity. Donna Eden's book, Energy Medicine, describes energy testing, where you would eat, or simply smell various foods, and after each, somebody would attempt to pull your arm away from your side. The more easily this happens, the worse a food is for you. Please rate this page, 10 being best

  • skin problems that are also accompanied by gastrointestinal problems: e.g., vomiting, diarrhea, or anal pruritus (itchiness);
  • recurrent ear infections that begin at a young age (and are NOT related to ear mites);
  • recurrent skin problems, especially itchy skin, that begin either younger than one year of age or older than 6 years of age and cannot be explained by any other skin disorder (like parasites, bacterial hair follicle infections, etc.)
  • recurrent ear infections that are not accompanied by other skin problems (and are not related to ear mits);
  • skin problems that begin shortly after switching to a new type of dog food or introducing a new type of treat;
  • skin problems that seem to be worse when rawhide chew-toys are given;

by Milly Miller Bobby was born on November 28, 1980. We named Bobby - King Robert Revere. He is an absolute joy. At 16 ½ years old he is in extremely good health and the vet says he is a perfect example of a dog who is loved very well. That tells it all. We have treated him and cared for him as if he were a child in this family. When he was about 6 we started having terrible problems with his skin, he had weeping sores, he was loosing hair and he chewed and scratched himself constantly. We found a vet who specialized in allergies and he began treating him for a flea allergy. Here in Florida we do have a serious flea population. Well the cortisone injections would help for a little while then he would get a secondary infection and he would be on antibiotics and then he would start itching again. It was a vicious cycle and his health was really failing, rapidly. It is fortunate that Maltese is a smaller breed because I had to cook for Bobby. I prepared chicken, potatoes and green beans for him. That is another story completely. It took awhile to get the proportions down to the point that he was getting a good nutrition level and not too much protein but we did it and his health and his skin and finally his coat began to show improvement. This photo was taken when he was 14 yrs old. Today he looks pretty much the same but I keep his hair short now to cause him less stress with the maintenance of it. Oh, by the way, that allergy test cost $155.00.

Over the last 50-75 years, our eating habits have changed dramatically. Processed foods and chemical additives have upset our entire chemistry resulting in food allergies, sensitivities, even chronic disease. Most people are familiar with the kind that when you eat something you "break-out". It's estimated that up to 50% of Americans suffer from more subtle food allergies. More difficult to pinpoint, these allergies don't immediately make you puff up like a blowfish or break out in hives or a rash. Hidden food allergies affect your quality of life in more insidious ways; physically, emotionally and mentally. Symptoms are highly individualized, including a "muddled" brain, mysterious diarrhea or multiple ailments. Symptoms from some foods may not appear for sometime.

Food Allergies:
The Natural Approach
Allen M. Schoen, D.V.M., M.S. F ood allergies are simply defined as an allergic reaction caused by the ingestion of particular food substances. Food allergies can be a significant cause of a wide range of symptoms in both people and animals. Some experts estimate that at least 60% of Americans suffer from negative reactions to foods or chemicals on foods. Veterinary experts estimate that 5% of all skin disease and 10- 15% of all allergic skin disease in dogs and cats may be caused by food hypersensitivity. It appears to be the second most common cause of pruritic (itchy skin) skin disease in cats and the third most common cause in dogs according to Dr.'s Tilley and Smith in "The Five Minute Veterinary Consult". Along with food allergies, one has to also consider allergic reactions to medications such as medications for heartworm prevention, flea prevention, antibiotics as well as additives to the foods such as preservatives, artificial food colors and flavors etc. Food allergies can show up at any time and can mimic other hypersensitivity reactions. It is easy to differentiate from seasonal allergies, because food allergies occur all year round, as long as your pet is on the offending food. There does not appear to be any sex or breed predilection, though german shepherds and labrador retrievers seem to have a high incidence of food allergies in my practice.

Background
Discussion
The ancient Roman poet and philosopher, Lucretius, was quoted as saying: "One man's food may be another man's poison". This quote applies rather nicely to food allergies and sensitivities. While most foodborne illnesses have the potential to affect everyone in the population, food allergies and sensitivities affect only a few individuals in the population. The most serious type of illness among these individualistic adverse reactions to foods are the true food allergies that are the subject of this Sci-Talk. Food allergies involve an abnormal response of the immune system to a particular food or food component, usually a naturally-occurring protein component of the food, which is safe and nutritious for the vast majority of consumers. Peanut allergy is the most common food allergy especially in the U.S. where peanuts are a popular dietary item and peanut butter is introduced at an early age. Throughout the world, cows' milk allergy is the most common food allergy among infants due to the widespread ingestion of milk during the first months of life. Any food which contains protein has the potential to elicit an allergic reaction in someone. The most common allergenic foods tend to be foods with high protein content that are frequently consumed. The exceptions are beef, pork, chicken, and turkey which are uncommonly allergenic despite their frequent consumption and high protein content.

JOHN A. ANDERSON, M.D.
Henry Ford Health System Detroit, Michigan
In the United States, the foods most commonly responsible for allergic reactions in children are milk, eggs and peanuts. About 20 percent of the population worldwide can be considered allergic, or atopic, meaning that such persons have a familial tendency to react in an allergic fashion when exposed to common proteins. A child whose parents or close relatives have allergies is not born with allergies but has a tendency to become allergic to specific proteins on repeated exposure. Foods are among the first new proteins in a child's experience and thus can cause allergic reactions. A greater proportion of infants are allergic to foods than are older children or adults. In time, allergic children tend to become sensitized to agents in the home, such as house dust mites, animals or cockroaches, because of constant exposure. Only later do these children react to seasonal aeroallergens such as tree, grass or weed pollens, or outdoor mold spores. Recent consumer surveys have shown that the American public believes food allergies are common.

If it is a food or group of foods causing or aggravating your arthritis, it takes up to 5 days for the food(s) to completely pass through your body. After that, you can look to see if your health improves. Keep a diary recording what you eat and how you feel. Try a rare foods diet to test if you are allergic to some of the foods that you regularly eat. This means eating only foods that you eat less than once a week. The theory is you are most likely to develop allergies to foods you eat all the time and you are probably not allergic to foods you only eat once in awhile. For two weeks you must give up all foods you regularly eat. To identify these foods you have to identify every ingredient of all foods in your normal diet.

Diagnosis
If your child has ever experienced any of the above symptoms or you suspect your child may have a food allergy, you should contact your child's doctor or an allergy specialist. The doctor will take your child's medical history and ask questions about specific symptoms and your child's diet. In some cases, to help identify specific allergens in the diet, the doctor may also ask you to keep a food diary for your child, with details on what foods are eaten and when your child's symptoms occur. Before diagnosing your child with a food allergy, the doctor will look for conditions - other than a food allergy - that could be causing your child's symptoms. For example, if your child seems to have diarrhea after drinking milk, the doctor may need to determine whether lactose intolerance could be causing your child's symptoms instead of a food allergy. Rarely, a child is sensitive to dyes or food additives such as yellow #5 or monosodium glutamate (a flavor enhancer commonly used in Asian and other foods), which can cause symptoms similar to those of a food allergy. Another condition that may mimic food allergy symptoms is celiac disease, in which the child is not able to tolerate gluten, a protein that is found in wheat and certain other grains. And in some cases, eating cheese, wine, or fish that contain high levels of histamine, a chemical that occurs naturally in a person's body but that in larger amounts can sometimes cause symptoms such as hives and rashes, may be the cause of a reaction - not a food allergy.

CARING FOR PETS WITH FOOD ALLERGY
Food allergy or intolerance occurs occasionally in cats and dogs when an ingredient of the diet, usually part of the protein content, causes signs such as itching or diarrhoea. The aim of dietary management is to discover which ingredient is causing the problem and then eliminate it from the pet's diet. WHAT IS A FOOD ALLERGY Food allergies are estimated to cause 1% of all skin problems in dogs and cats. Other allergic skin problems, for example allergy to flea bites, are more commonly seen. The incidence of gut upsets, such as vomiting or diarrhoea that are caused by food allergies is not known, but is thought to be greater than 1%. Animals that have both itching and gastrointestinal problems are more likely to have food allergies. The exact mechanism by which a protein in the diet causes the signs of food allergy is not known. It is thought that abnormal amounts or types of protein particles from food are absorbed into the bloodstream from the digestive tract. This causes antibodies and inflammatory chemicals to be released from cells of the digestive tract and skin (Hypersensitivity).

Edible issues by Dr Wynnie Chan Dr Wynnie Chan clarifies the difference between food allergies and intolerances, and explains how to tell if you have one You've read about them in magazines and probably know someone who suffers from one, but what are food allergies and intolerances, and how can they affect you? advertisement Food intolerance is an umbrella term, which encompasses food allergies, enzyme defects like lactose intolerance, pharmacological reactions to foods and substances (such as headaches or facial flushing that result from histamine, serotonin and tyramine contained in cheese, coffee and pickled fish), and idiosyncratic responses to foods due to toxins they contain. Responses vary according to the individual, and how severe their reaction is to a particular food, but will generally include some form of rash. A food allergy is a specific kind of food intolerance, where the immune system reacts in an abnormal way to a food or food ingredient. The way our immune system protects us against harmful, 'foreign' particles (called antigens) is by eliminating them from our body. This process of elimination can result in an immediate or a delayed allergic reaction. An immediate reaction is characterised by symptoms such as a runny nose, asthma, hot flushes, difficulty breathing, and swelling of the lips. This reaction is then mediated by the production of antibodies, which bind with the antigens and eliminate them from the body. Reactions vary in severity, and depend on how much of the offending food you've eaten. Unfortunately, it is difficult to know if you have a food allergy, until you actually have an allergic reaction, at which point you should consult a physician. Most likely, he or she will tell you to avoid the food and any related or trace elements of it. Delayed allergic reactions to food are more complex, and can take several hours to develop.

Normal Baby Fussiness Most infant fussiness falls in the category of normal behavior for a young baby, and is not usually related to foods in mom's diet. If your baby is sensitive to something you are eating, you will most likely notice other symptoms, such as excessive spitting up or vomiting, colic, diarrhea, rash, persistent congestion or runny nose, or excessive gas. Read more here about normal baby fussiness How can I tell if my baby is sensitive to something I ate? The research that I have seen does not conclusively suggest that there are links between what mom eats and a baby's fussiness and/or gassiness with the exception of cow's milk protein, which does appear to pass through into breast milk and upset sensitive infants (more on this below). However, a small percentage of nursing moms do notice a connection between their baby's behavior and certain foods that mom eats. Breastmilk is made from what is in the mom's blood, not what is in her stomach or intestines. Food is broken down in the intestines into its nutritive components as it enters the blood.

With repeated ingestion of the food, however, symptoms may gradually return. When a problem food is rotated, symptoms are less likely to return. Some healthcare practitioners recommend rotating food groups (such as legumes every other day) in addition to rotating specific foods. The importance of rotating foods varies from person to person and may be related to the severity of the allergies.

FOOD ALLERGY
Considering the complexities of the interaction between ingested foods and the intestinal lining, it is not surprising that reactions to foreign proteins and other chemicals are commonplace. The remarkable fact is the effectiveness of antigen processing and the development of tolerance in the majority of children by the time they are 1 year of age. Knowledge of food families and composition of frequently used commercial foodstuffs is very helpful in the detective work often needed to unravel the obscure histories presented by the concerned and baffled parent.
MECHANISMS OF FOOD ALLERGY
Not all adverse reactions to foods are allergic in origin, and the term should be used more precisely to describe reactions mediated through immune mechanisms. Some of the identified mechanisms include: * IgE-mediated hypersensitivity
* Immune complexes between antigens and IgG
* Cell-mediated, delayed type hypersensitivity. The IgE-mediated reactions can be of extreme severity, producing anaphylactic shock after exposure to minute amounts of the offending antigen. Direct exposure to the GI tract lining is usually needed to trigger the reaction, but cases have been described in which inhalation of food being prepared or cooked can result in the same severe reaction. This type of reaction is mediated through mast cells in the intestinal lining, and both histamine and prostaglandins have been implicated in the allergic cascade. It is less clear that immune complexes (Arthus type II reaction) participate in allergies to food, but IgG does have the potential to form complexes in vitro when reacting with certain antigens.

    Food Allergies in Babies
    By Graciela Wetzler, M.D. (Pediatric Gastroenterologist, Maimonides Medical Center, Brooklyn, NY) for Your Baby Today
    Food allergies in infants and babies are not very common, but they cause severe discomfort and may even be life-threatening. During the first year of life, babies may be allergic to cow's milk or soy protein present in infant formulas, and breast-fed babies may be allergic to the same protein in the mother's diet. Symptoms of milk allergies vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, bloody stools may develop within minutes or hours of food ingestion. But most gastrointestinal symptoms develop over the course of days and weeks. Of greatest concern are those babies with asthma who may have difficulty breathing due to swelling of the upper airway and may have an anaphylactic reaction. Milder reactions include eczema, hives, and skin rashes. Irritability and excessive crying, which mimic infantile colic are additional symptoms. If milk allergies persist, they may inhibit the baby's growth. Milk allergies are due to an immunological reaction against proteins called casein or whey. When allergic babies are exposed to these proteins, which may be considered foreign intruders, they become sensitized, and with each subsequent exposure the symptoms are likely to worsen. Sensitization may even occur during the last trimester of pregnancy via the ingestion of dairy products in the mother's diet, causing symptoms to develop immediately after birth.

    IgG Food Allergy Testing by ELISA/EIA
    What Do They Really Tell Us?
    by Sheryl B. Miller, MT (ASCP), PhD
    Clinical Laboratory Director
    Bastyr University Natural Health Clinic
    Adverse reactions to food may initiate a myriad of physiological effects in the body. These reactions may be immunologically or non-immunologically mediated and can result in signs and symptoms ranging in severity from mild to life threatening anaphylaxis. Although the majority of severe reactions are thought to be immunological and mediated via IgE, other immune globulins, such as IgG and IgA, may play a role in adverse reactions to food as well. The clinical laboratory has historically played an important role in the diagnosis and management of patients with allergy. This role has been more clearly defined with the diagnosis of IgE mediated adverse reactions and less well defined with the diagnosis of other immunologic etiologies or adverse reactions of non-immunologic origin. Diagnosis of food allergy, in particular, has classically involved the detection of IgE antibodies with a variety of different methodologies. Of late, a number of clinical laboratories have set up ELISA/EIA (Enzyme Immunoassays) panels to test the presence of IgG antibodies in patients to numerous food allergens. This is based on the findings that certain subclasses of IgG have been associated with the in vitro degranulation of basophils and mast cells, the activation of the complement cascade, (both of which are important mechanisms in allergy and anaphylaxis) and the observation that high circulating serum concentrations of some IgG subtypes have been measured in certain atopic individuals.

    Definitions and Causes
    Food allergy is often mistaken for food intolerance. It is important to note that allergy is only one of a number of possible reasons for food intolerance. Food intolerance can be defined as a condition where particular adverse effects occur after eating a particular food or food ingredient. Genuine food intolerance is different from psychologically based food aversion, where a person strongly dislikes a food and believes that a food produces a particular reaction. A genuine food allergy is when a specific immune reaction occurs in the body in response to consuming a particular food. Allergies often run in families, and people who are allergic to some foods may also be allergic to other environmental factors, such as house dust, animal fur and pollen. A true allergic response involves an altered or abnormal tissue reaction to an antigen. An antigen can be a protein, a substance bound to a protein, a food additive or less commonly, a polysaccharide. The antigen combines with an antibody and produces an immune response, which results in cell damage and the release of histamine. The immune system plays an essential role in our bodies in protecting us from the invasion of harmful substances. An allergy occurs when the mechanism operates inappropriately in response to a harmless substance such as a particular food
