Food and Allergies By Profesor Khalid
Most people have reactions to foods like these from time to time. But they're usually food sensitivities or intolerances. They aren't caused by your immune system.
A food allergy is different. Your body mistakes harmless food as something that could make you sick. When you eat something you're allergic to, your immune system responds to protect you. You might get a mild skin rash or itchy eyes, or you could have a bigger reaction that leaves you gasping for breath.
Food allergies can be serious, but you can take steps to manage them. One of the best things you can do is avoid your trigger foods.
Hidden Triggers
The key to controlling a food allergy? Avoid the problem food. That isn't always easy, though. It may be hidden as an ingredient in something else.
- Most baked goods, like cakes and cookies, are made with eggs and sometimes nuts.
- Water-packed tuna may have added nonfat dry milk.
- Salad dressing could be made with soybean oil.
- A hot dog may contain milk protein.
