Allergies are everywhere and are all year round. With it being Autumn here in Australia, many people may still be suffering from allergies and intolerances which often occur in the summer, like hay fever or a pollen intolerance. But there are some allergies and intolerances which occur all year round because they are related to foods. Well, a food allergy occurs when the immune system reacts to a harmless food. You can have a food allergy to anything, depending on what your body deems to be harmful. Unfortunately, there is no cure for allergies, but there are many ways you can manage your symptoms to ensure your life is not completely affected. For some of you, this may mean that you have to cut out foods which you usually eat on a regular basis.
Food allergy testing
Food allergy can be life-threatening if not identified or managed properly. Because it involves the immune system there are many reasons that it can cause detrimental effects to your body and in the worst case scenario, a person suffering from a food allergy may go into anaphylaxis shock. If you have a food allergy, you need to be able to read food ingredients very carefully and you should never take a risk. Because of the way foods are mixed and match nowadays, you need to be extra careful. Be careful that you do not have a food allergy or food intolerance, and do not confuse the two. If you think you have a food allergy then you need to consult your GP immediately.
