Common conclusions
Symptoms of food allergy include skin reactions, like hives, swelling and itching. Eight foods account for 90 percent of allergic reactions: milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, and soybeans. People who have food allergies must avoid these foods.
Food allergies and digestive issues, also known as food intolerances, may have symptoms that are identical. Certain foods can cause abdominal symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, and gas in people with both conditions.
Cramps could be a symptom of food intolerance. While some of the signs are identical, a food sensitivity is not the same as a food allergy. When you have a food allergy, the signs normally appear within a few hours of consuming the offending food. You should stop eating some foods to help figure out which one is causing symptoms.
When your immune system misinterprets something in food as unhealthy and attacks it, you have a food allergy. It has the potential to affect your whole body, not just your stomach. Chest pain could be a symptom of food allergy.
Headaches are symptom of food intolerance. The majority of food intolerances are discovered by trial and error in order to assess which foods cause symptoms. You may be asked to keep a food diary to track what you eat and when you have symptoms so that common factors can be identified. An elimination diet is another method for identifying problematic foods. You should start by removing all suspicious foods from your diet until you are symptom-free.
Your health care provider can help determine if you have an allergy or intolerance, and establish a plan to help control symptoms.
