Food Allergies
Food allergies are an adverse reactions to a food triggered by the immune system. These reactions are expressed by certain symptoms which can vary from mild to fatal. Symptoms manifest on the skin (rashes, hives, and eczema), in the digestive system (oral allergy syndrome, abdominal cramps, indigestion, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting), and in the respiratory system (asthma or allergic rhinitis). Anaphylaxis occurs in severe cases. Most common foods causing allergies are: milk, eggs, wheat, soy, Peanuts, nuts, fish, and shellfish.
Most common medical treatments include bronchodilators such as epinephrine (given for severe allergic reactions); antihistamines such as diphenhydramine (Benadryl); and corticosteroids, a cream/ointment which reduces swelling and various symptoms of allergic skin reactions.
Still, like in all allergy cases, avoidance of allergen, in this case food causing allergies, is the most effective treatment.
