While many people suffer experience food sensitivity and/or food intolerance at some point during their lives, only one to three percent of the population have food allergies. Symptoms of food allergies may range from mild to life threatening and may include the following: gastrointestinal upset, nausea, vomiting, itching, hives, rash, difficulty breathing and anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis is a condition that causes a dramatic drop in blood pressure and swelling of the throat. It can be fatal if not treated immediately. The most common treatment for anaphylaxis is injection of adrenaline, also called epinephrine.Some foods are more likely to trigger an allergic reaction than others. Seafood (especially shellfish), wheat, eggs, milk, soy and nuts. Peanut allergies are usually the most severe and dangerous types of allergies. Some allergies to food develop in childhood or even from birth, while others develop in adulthood. Some infants are allergic to milk and must have soy based formula instead. Others may be allergic to soy but not to milk. The most common allergy that develops in the adult years is shellfish allergy. Crabs, clams and oysters are the usual culprits when it comes to shellfish or crustacean allergy.
Many people confuse food allergies with food sensitivity and/or food intolerance. It is an easy thing to do because sometimes the reactions may be the same. There are two main types of food intolerance which are toxic and non-toxic. A toxic food intolerance may be caused by food poisoning due to bacteria in the food. Then there are non-toxic intolerance reactions which would include things like the burning sensation you get when you eat hot peppers. It may also include things like digestive trouble from dairy products, which is commonly known as lactose intolerance.
