Food allergy is a condition characterized by reaction of body’s immune system to certain foods.
Even a minor amount of allergic food can trigger immune system and lead to different abdomen issues and signs and symptoms such as loose motions, hives, swollen skin, respiratory distress and redness of eyes.
Food allergy can be prevented by limiting the intake of specific food allergen and replacing it with other food options.
Major foods that cause food allergy include milk, shellfish, tree nuts, eggs, soy, wheat, gluten, lactose, meat and certain artificial flavors.
Food allergy can cause serious life threatening conditions if left untreated e.g respiratory distress, hives, immune system reaction etc.
If you think you are having food allergy after eating a specific food, avoid that food and consult
your doctor and dietitian.
