KidsHealth Parents If your child's doctor or allergy specialist has determined that your child has an egg allergy , you'll need to adapt your whole way of shopping for food and cooking for your family. Arm yourself with the knowledge of what to avoid and what to substitute to make your child's diet nutritious and tasty. What Is an Egg Allergy? A food allergy occurs when the body's immune system mistakenly believes a food is harmful and identifies an offending substance, or allergen, in that food. People with an egg allergy react to the proteins in the egg white or the yolk. The body produces antibodies that trigger an allergic reaction as they rush in to fight off the invasion. Research has shown that up to 8% of children in the United States are affected by food allergies. Eggs are among the eight foods that cause 90% of all allergic reactions in children ( milk peanuts , wheat, soy, fish, shellfish, and tree nuts are the other seven). Egg allergy, which is usually outgrown by age 5, is most often identified when the child first eats eggs or egg products. Reading Food Labels It should come as no surprise that baked goods, baking mixes, cereals, cookies, custards, and ice cream are made with eggs, but candies, hot dogs, meatballs, and salad dressings can include egg derivatives as well. There are also many products and food ingredients that contain egg products, but whose names don't always include the word egg. Eggs may be used for a specific function and be listed as "binder," "emulsifier," or "coagulant."

Food Allergies and Food Intolerances For some people, food allergies can be very serious. One bite of a cookie with ground peanuts can cause a life-threatening emergency in someone with a peanut allergy, while just the smell of fish can make a highly sensitive person feel ill. Although these are extreme reactions, it’s no wonder many people worry about food allergies. The only effective treatment is to avoid the foods, which cause the problem. Unfortunately, however, many people are restricting their diet unnecessarily. One allergist found that, out of 23 people who thought they had a food allergy, only 4 actually did. Some of those who didn'’t have allergies were avoiding so many foods they had become sick and malnourished. Don’t guess. If you suspect you have a food allergy, have it properly diagnosed by a doctor, then obtain dietary advice from a registered dietitian. What is a Food Allergy? People with food allergies have an unusual sensitive immune system. For some reason, swallowing a protein from a particular food causes the person’s own antibodies to rush into action to attack the foreign substance. This starts a chain reaction of chemical changes which cause swelling and irritation in certain parts of the body. Food allergies are most common in young children. Many young infants become sensitive to foods, such as cow’s milk, soy and eggs during their first year of life. Fortunately, most infants outgrow these sensitivities in a year or two.

FOOD ALLERGY AND INTOLERANCE Most people can eat a very wide range of foods without any problems although they may have likes or dislikes that influence what they choose. However, some people react badly to certain everyday foods and eating them may cause uncomfortable symptoms or, in rare cases, a severe illness. It is important that people who think they suffer from a food intolerance do not change their diet dramatically so that it becomes unbalanced. They should take advice from a dietitian or doctor to be sure that they really do have a problem and take care to ensure that their diet contains a wide variety of foods to provide all the nutrients normally provided by the foods they cannot eat. What is the definition of food intolerance? Food intolerance is the general term used to describe a range of adverse responses to food, including allergic reactions ( e.g . peanut allergy or coeliac disease ), adverse reactions resulting from enzyme deficiencies ( e.g . lactose intolerance or hereditary fructose intolerance), pharmacological reactions ( e.g
