What are Food Allergies?

Food allergies are a serious medical condition that can trigger a range of symptoms, from mild skin rashes to life-threatening anaphylaxis. They occur when the body's immune system mistakenly identifies a certain food as harmful and produces antibodies to attack it.

Food allergies can be caused by a wide variety of foods, but the most common culprits include:

• Peanuts
• Tree nuts
• Milk
• Eggs
• Soy
• Wheat
• Fish
• Shellfish

Symptoms of Food Allergies

The symptoms of food allergies can vary depending on the severity of the reaction. Mild symptoms may include:

• Skin rashes or hives
• Swelling of the lips, tongue, or face
• Itching or tingling in the mouth or throat
• Nausea or vomiting
• Abdominal pain or cramps
• Diarrhea

In severe cases, food allergies can trigger anaphylaxis, a life-threatening reaction that can cause:

• Difficulty breathing
• Wheezing
• Swelling of the throat or tongue

Managing Food Allergies

There is currently no cure for food allergies, but the condition can be managed effectively. The most important step is to avoid the foods that trigger your allergies.
