Food Allergies

Food Allergies are exaggerated reactions
immune system, following ingestion of a food
or food additive.

Unlike a food intolerance or
food poisoning, allergies involve a reaction
immune system. In this case the
reacts to the ingestion of food (allergen)
triggering a series of defense mechanisms.

A food allergy occurs in response to a protein that
may be present in peanuts, cow's milk, fish, etc..
Therefore, there is an allergy to a carbohydrate or fat,
While there may be lactose intolerant (a type of
sugar normally present in milk). Thus, if
an allergy, even the smallest amount of food
can cause symptoms.

There is no cure for allergies
food. The only solution is to avoid consumption
of food allergens.

Allergy symptoms can be mild or very severe and
even potentially fatal: difficulty breathing,
loss of consciousness or shock if arrhythmia
anaphylaxis.

Food allergies can occur at any age, but
generally occurs before 4 years. At this age,
the immune and digestive system are not yet
mature, are more susceptible to allergies. some
attenuates or allergies disappear with age
time.

The incidence of food allergies, and other diseases
assume the existence of atopy (eczema, rhinitis
allergic asthma, urticaria) is increasing.Best Treatments
