| | Food allergy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | What is called irritable bowel syndrome by many doctors (a stress-related functional disorder) is often interpreted by allergists to be food allergy. | | | In addition, many practitioners of complementary and alternative medicine ascribe symptoms to food allergy where most classically trained doctors would not find a causal relationship. | | | This is due to an enzyme deficiency (lactase) and not allergy. |

| | Food allergy |
| | Food intolerance may invoke similar symptoms to a food allergy (including nausea, diarrhoea and stomach cramping) however the response does not involve the immune system in the same way. | | | Food allergy is now recognised as an important food safety issue and the food industry must take the greatest care to assist those who suffer allergies to select a suitable diet with confidence. | | | In its mildest form, treenuts allergy can be limited to a rash, sickness and headache to swelling of the tongue and lips, whereas both treenuts and peanuts allergy in its extreme form it can cause anaphylactic shock. |

| | Food allergies seem to affect most of these vital functions. | | | The reason for this lady’s difficulties was later found to be food allergies. | | | Allergic hunger is pathological in that it does not respond to the normal satiety control center in the brain when food is consumed in normal amounts, so both the addictive and allergic responses to allergy can cause uncontrollable eating behavior. |

| | Food allergies occur in many patterns and often cause chronic disease. |
| | The original concept of allergy included all immune-mediated disease and the term allergy was interchangeable with the term "hypersensitivity." An clinical immunology text will take the approach that allergy and autoimmune disease are the two major categories of hypersensitivity disease. | | | The subject of food allergy has never assumed the importance that it is due. | | | The spectrum of clinical manifestations of food allergy can only be understood if different patterns of food allergy are allowed. |

| | Food Allergy |
| | The concept of food allergy and foods causing medical illness is the basis of much controversy and heated emotional responses on both sides of the argument. | | | Food allergy generally refers to the specific situation where an immediate and readily identifiable food reaction occurs in the respiratory, digestive or skin systems. | | | Food Desensitization Immunotherapy (allergy vaccines as our patients like to call them) based on skin testing can be of tremendous benefit in treating both simple and complex food sensitivity conditions. |

| | HON Allergy Glossary Food Allergy |
| | A food allergy is any adverse reaction to a food or food component involving the body's immune system. | | | Food allergies can cause a host of symptoms, including : swelling of the lips; tongue or throat; hoarseness; cough; hives ; skin rashes ; a runny nose and watering eyes; and asthma. | | | These reactions do not involve the immune system and therefore are examples of food intolerance rather than food allergy. |
