Information About Food Allergies And Those Who
Treat Them
The most common food allergies are to
peanuts, tree nuts including walnut, cashew, almond, pecans,
hazelnuts, and Brazil nuts and also milk, eggs, soybean, fish and
also shellfish.
Food allergies are quite common everywhere in the world today. Food
is essential for the growth and health of all individuals, which is
why food allergies are so important to understand and to be able to
cope with. Those we trust to treat food allergies are called
Allergists. Allergists are physicians who have received additional
specialized training in allergic diseases, and how to provide care
for those who suffer from allergies including an individual who
suffer from food allergies.
The most common food allergies are to peanuts, tree nuts
including walnut, cashew, almond, pecans, hazelnuts, and Brazil
nuts and also milk, eggs, soybean, fish and also shellfish.
The food allergy reaction usually occurs within a matter of
minutes to an hour after eating the food item containing the food
allergen. If a person is experiencing a delayed symptom that occurs
after this time period it may not be a food allergy but an adverse
reaction to food additive, food poisoning, or food intolerance.
Common food allergy symptoms are skin rash, hives, swelling of
the tongue, skin around the lips, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea,
wheezing, asthma and difficulty breathing such as shortness of
breath. There may also be extreme reactions such as drop in blood
pressure, fainting, loss of consciousness or even death.
Your doctor will likely give you a list of foods to avoid when making the food allergy diagnosis.
If the food allergy is to milk than you need to follow a milk allergy diet.

A doctor who specializes in the treatment of allergies including
food allergies is an allergist and is someone who has committed to
going 2 to 3 additional years of schooling in order to specialize
in the field of allergy treatment and prevention. Allergists can
make a diagnosis, recommend treatment, and provide ongoing care of
those who suffer from allergies. They are a good source of
information about preventing allergic reactions especially when
food is the allergen. Food allergies can be fatal and the care that
an allergist gives can be life-saving and is therefore very
rewarding work.
If an individual has mild allergies a family doctor may treat
them. Because food allergies can be life threatening the individual
with food allergies is usually referred to an allergist because
they are specialist and the individual will get the best care when
being treated by someone who can give this kind of specialized
care. They have the latest knowledge, techniques, and tools needed
to properly care for someone with food allergies.
Your family doctor can refer you to an allergist, or you can
locate an allergist in your local area in the U.S., by contacting
the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology online at

can find a list of members in your local area.
