When your immune system overreacts to a benign contaminant, like pollen, dander, or pet dander, you have an allergic reaction. “Allergens” are the term used to describe these normally innocuous chemicals. Allergens can enter your system in a variety of ways, including inhalation, skin contact, ingestion, injection, and ingestion. To diagnose and treat your allergies, Snö Asthma & Allergy was developed. We are the best and the most famous allergies treatment clinic in UAE.
A food allergy happens when the immune system of the body reacts abnormally to a particular food. This is called an allergic response. Any age can be affected, from birth to old age. Itchiness or inflammation in the mouth; hives; throat constriction; difficulty breathing; stomach ache; vomiting are all common symptoms.
Most people with food allergies have one or more of the “major eight” allergens listed below:
· Fish
· Eggs
· Peanuts
· Soya
· Shellfish
· Milk
· Wheat
· Tree nuts
Anaphylaxis, a life-threatening allergic reaction, can be brought on by food allergies in some people.
Allergies to nuts, tree nuts, fish, as well as shellfish can last a lifetime, but children with milk, egg, wheat, and soy allergies often “outgrow” them, and there are a plethora of new approaches to help them do so. Besides allergies, food intolerances (like lactose or milk intolerance) and toxic reactions are other types of reactions to food. Although the symptoms may be similar to those of a food allergy, there are significant differences in the causes, the severity of the symptoms, and long-term effects.
There is no one-size-fits-all test for determining whether or not a person has a food allergy. Before prescribing a course of treatment, your physician will weigh the pros and cons of various options. These are some of the contributing elements:
· Your symptoms: Tell your Snö Asthma & Allergy doctor everything you can remember about your symptoms, including what foods and amounts of those foods seem to be causing issues for you.
· Your family’s allergy history: Sharing information about your family’s allergies is also a good idea.
· Physical examination: A thorough physical examination can often recognize or rule out additional medical issues.
· Skin examination: Skin prick tests at Snö Asthma & Allergy can tell you whether or not food will cause an allergic reaction in you. Small amounts of suspicious food are applied to your arm or back during this test. Allowing a small amount to penetrate beneath the surface of your skin, a doctor and other healthcare professional then punctures your skin.
