A food allergy is an immune
system response to a food that the body mistakenly believes is harmful. Food
Allergies are the most common form of allergies, and found in many adults
and even more commonly found in children. They however can be outgrown over
a period of time. Food Allergies are the most common, and also the most
difficult to manage. They can be extremely frustrating and time consuming as
you will need to be very cautious with choosing which foods to buy and which
restaurant to dine at. If you have been diagnosed with food allergies, there
are many alternatives and substitutes you can purchase from your local
grocery and nutrition stores to supplement your diet.
Although an individual could be allergic to any food, such as fruits,
vegetables, and meats, there are eight foods that account for 90% of all
food-allergic reactions. They are: milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts
(other than peanuts) fish/shellfish, soy, and wheat.
Many of the things we think we know about food allergies are
simply just myths, here are a couple of common myths that may help you
determine fact or fiction:

MYTH
|
FACT |
Most people with food allergies are allergic to strawberries and tomatoes. |
Although people can be allergic to any kind of food, most food allergies are
caused by tree nuts, peanuts, cow's milk, eggs, soy, fish, and shellfish.
|
| Some people are allergic to sugar. |
A condition is called a food allergy
when the immune system (the part of the body that fights infections) thinks
a certain protein in a food is a "foreign" agent and fights against it. This
doesn't happen with sugars and fats.
|
| Food allergy is either lifelong or is always outgrown. |
Children usually "outgrow" allergies to milk, eggs,
soybean products and wheat. However, people rarely outgrow allergies to
peanuts, tree nuts, fish and shellfish.
|
| Food allergy is not dangerous. |
Food allergy can be fatal if it is severe enough to cause
a reaction called anaphylaxis. This reaction makes it hard for a person to
breathe. Fast treatment with a medicine called epinephrine can save your
life. If you or your child has a severe allergy, your doctor might give you
a prescription for epinephrine self-injection pens. Your doctor can show you
how to use them and tell you when to use them. If your doctor thinks you
might need to use this medicine, you'll need to carry one with you at all
times.
|
A person having an allergic reaction should be taken by ambulance to a hospital
emergency room, because the symptoms can start again hours after the
epinephrine is given.
Once a true food allergy is diagnosed, avoid the food that caused it. If you
have an allergy, you must read the labels on all the prepared foods you eat.
Your doctor can help you learn how to avoid eating the wrong foods. If your
child has food allergies, give the school and other caretakers instructions
that list what foods to avoid and what to do if the food is accidentally
eaten.
