Allergy Diets
Food allergies are quite common in children and in some cases adults too. An allergy is a negative reaction to any particular substance and food allergy refers to the adverse response that the body might have to a particular food. The most common food allergies in children are that of milk, peanuts and eggs and in adults it is fish, eggs, peanuts, shellfish and fish.
The reaction to food allergies might come in the form of nausea, vomiting, skin rashes, wheezing or scratchy throat and in very worst situations the food allergies might result in death where nothing else can be done.
The most common food allergies that we hear about are that of dairy products, eggs, peanuts, tree nut, seafood, shellfish, wheat and soy. In the world of allergy study these are known as the "big eight" as they are the most common. However, the allergens in these foods (as with any food) differ from country to country because of the different conditions in which they are nurtured.
Skin prick testing is the most common method to confirm if there is a person has an allergy to a certain type of food. Blood tests are another common method that allergists use to confirm the whether or not a given patient has an allergy to a particular food that he or she has eaten.
When someone is having a serious allergic reaction the best drug to use is usually epinephrine applied using an auto-injector, this helps them to overcome the systemic reaction. However, as far as a permanent cure to allergies goes, there is no long term solution, the only way to avoid the reaction is to avoid the food that causes it. It is unfortunate, but that's just the way it is. People who already suffer from a disease of some kind have been found to be more prone to developing these allergies. - 17274
