Food allergies are an exaggerated immune response to certain foods that can cause symptoms in both children and adults within 2 hours of eating. Common symptoms include stomach cramps, nasal congestion, itching, fatigue, and skin issues like eczema. Approximately 12 million Americans have food allergies, and each year about 150 people, mostly children and young adults, die from severe allergic reactions called anaphylaxis due to foods like eggs, peanuts, milk, or other triggers. Treatment involves avoiding allergenic foods and carrying epinephrine auto-injectors in case of a reaction.

Food Allergies
Food allergy is an abnormal immune response to certain foods, which can range from mild symptoms to the severe, life-threatening reaction called anaphylaxis. Common food allergies in infants and children include eggs, milk, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, and wheat, while shellfish, peanuts, tree nuts, and fish are frequent causes of food allergies in adults. Diagnosis involves taking a medical history, diet diary, elimination diet, and tests like skin prick tests and blood tests. There is no cure for food allergies, so prevention through strict avoidance of problem foods, reading food labels, and cleaning shared eating areas is key to managing symptoms.
Food allergies
Food allergies are an exaggerated immune response to certain foods, most commonly shrimp, milk, eggs, wheat, and fish. Symptoms usually occur within 2 hours of eating the offending food and can include stomach cramps, nasal congestion, itching, low blood pressure, and asthma. Skin and blood tests are used to confirm allergies, and elimination diets avoid suspected foods until symptoms disappear. Challenge testing under medical supervision may then be done to identify specific allergies, but this carries risks of severe allergic reactions. Treatment involves epinephrine injections for allergic reactions and consulting an allergist or immunologist.
Allergy Information
Allergies occur when the immune system reacts to substances that are normally harmless. These triggering substances are known as allergens. Common allergens include pollen, dust mites, pet dander, certain foods, insect bites and stings, latex, and some medications. Symptoms of allergies can be mild, such as sneezing and itchy eyes, or they can be severe like difficulty breathing or a drop in blood pressure. It is important to identify your allergens and take steps to avoid exposure to prevent allergic reactions.

Food allergies among children
- A recent clinical study found that approximately 8% of children under 18 in the US, close to 6 million kids, suffer from one or more food allergies. This is double the rate found in a 2007 CDC study.
- The new findings are based on online interviews with 40,000 households across the US. Experts now believe food allergies and allergies in general are dramatically increasing among children.
- Nearly 2 in 5 children with food allergies have severe allergies where accidental exposure can lead to breathing issues, drop in blood pressure, or even death.
Food Allergies
A food allergy occurs when the immune system responds to a harmless food as if it were a threat. The first time a person with food allergy is exposed to the food, no symptoms occur. But the body has been now been primed, and when the person eats the food again, an allergic response occurs.
An allergic reaction to food usually takes place within a few minutes to several hours after exposure to the allergen. The process of eating and digesting food and the location of immune cells involved in the allergic reaction process both affect the timing and location of the reaction.
Food Allergies: Reducing the Risks
Food allergies can range from merely irritating to life threatening. Approximately 30,000 Americans go to the emergency room each year to get treated for severe food allergies, according to the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network (FAAN). It is estimated that 150 to 200 Americans die each year because of allergic reactions to food.
Diabetes disease
Diabetes is a metabolic disease where the body does not produce enough insulin or is unable to use insulin properly, causing blood sugar levels to rise. There are two main types of diabetes: type 1 where the body does not produce insulin and type 2 which is more common in middle-aged and older adults where the body does not properly use insulin. Untreated diabetes can lead to health issues such as slow healing, infections, vision problems, and fatigue. Pre-diabetes affects 84 million people where blood sugar levels are high but not high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes.

Let’s Talk Gluten
The document discusses the gluten-free diet trend and misunderstandings around gluten. While a gluten-free diet is important for those with celiac disease or gluten intolerance, it is often unnecessary for most people. Fad diets promising quick weight loss through elimination of gluten are misleading as gluten-free products often contain more fat and sugar. A gluten-free diet can also lack important nutrients if not properly managed with a dietician's guidance. Moderation is best for health and weight management rather than elimination of food groups without reason.

Intolerance vs. Allergy
Millions in the United States alone have an allergic condition, with many of these allergies being related to food. According to the Food Allergy Research & Education organization (FARE) 32 million Americans have food allergies. Of those 32 million, 200,000 require emergency medical care for allergic reactions from those foods. A common misconception is that food intolerance is a food allergy when in actuality that is its own unique category...
Global Medical Cures™ | Food Allergy
The document provides an overview of food allergies, including:
- Food allergies affect nearly 1 in 20 young children and 1 in 25 adults and occur when the immune system mistakenly reacts to a food.
- An allergic reaction involves the production of IgE antibodies that trigger the release of chemicals like histamine upon re-exposure, causing a range of symptoms from mild to potentially life-threatening anaphylaxis.
- Common food allergens vary by age, but for children include eggs, milk, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, and wheat, while shellfish is a frequent allergen for adults.

Cancer slides
Cancer is caused by damage to DNA that causes cells to multiply uncontrollably and form tumors. There are over 100 types of cancer that can affect different parts of the body. Cancer spreads via metastasis where cancer cells break off from the original tumor and travel through the bloodstream to form new tumors in other parts of the body. Early detection of cancer increases the chances of successful treatment, while risk factors like tobacco, alcohol, UV exposure, and certain viruses can increase the risk of developing cancer. Screening tests can help detect cancers early before symptoms appear.
Cancer PPT (From Mrs. Brenda Lee)
Cancer is caused by uncontrolled cell growth that spreads locally and metastasizes throughout the body, with over 100 types of cancer that can develop. The four most common cancers are breast, lung, prostate, and colorectal cancer, which together account for around half of all new cancer cases diagnosed in the United States each year. The document discusses the causes of cancer from genetic mutations and carcinogens like tobacco, as well as types of treatment including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and efforts toward prevention through lifestyle changes and cancer screening.
What Is Cancer
Cancer is caused by abnormal cell growth that spreads uncontrollably. It develops through a complex interaction between genes, environment, and chance. Cancer cells do not die like normal cells and continue growing and dividing in a disorderly fashion. The media needs to accurately report on cancer research studies and not oversimplify results or mislead the public. The UK has higher cancer death rates than some other countries, which may be partly due to lower spending on cancer medications.

As food allergies proliferate, new strategies may help patients ingest their way to tolerance.
Considering that food is full of foreign proteins, it makes sense that the intestine is the immune system's version of Grand Central station. It's the largest organ to regularly sweep up and annihilate molecules that don't belong. And because food comes from outside, it's no surprise that some people have allergies to it. The bigger mystery is why most don't. Somehow during evolution, the immune system and food components developed a secret handshake that allows munchables to pass without a fuss.
Most of the time, that is. Once relatively rare, serious allergies to peanuts, milk, shellfish and other foods appear to be afflicting a growing number of children. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that food allergies now affect about 4 percent of American children, almost 20 percent more than a decade ago. Scientists have ideas to explain the increase—from children raised with too few germs exercising their immune cells to modern food processing that alters natural proteins and adds nonfood substances never before consumed in large amounts. Some studies implicate the use of certain vitamins and even childhood obesity.
Despite the growing problem, doctors have had little to offer beyond advising patients to avoid allergic triggers. Recently, though, studies have raised hope that new approaches might one day treat food allergies and perhaps even prevent the next generation from developing them. “I think we're all encouraged that progress has happened relatively quickly,” says Robert Wood of Johns Hopkins Children's Center in Baltimore. Nonetheless, he cautions, a true, effective therapy is still years away.
If nothing else, the experiments have shown for the first time that curing food allergies is at least possible, even if the long-term prospects aren't clear. Some children who began studies with immune reactions to even the smallest trace of peanut can now eat up to 13 nuts in one sitting. Similar dramatic gains have been seen for milk and egg allergies. Only a few children have been involved in each study so far, but researchers are cautiously increasing the number of enrollees and are emboldened to try other, more innovative methods.
“It's the beginning,” says Andrew Saxon of UCLA's David Geffen School of Medicine. In a field with a history of false starts and disappointment, he says, “it's the real beginning this time.”
New Strategies
Oral Tolerance
Eating tiny amounts of peanut protein can gradually retrain the immune system to tolerate allergens by avoiding the IgE antibody-mediated response.
Vaccines
Hiding a peanut protein in a bacterial cell or injecting a gene-based vaccine may help patients tolerate peanuts by avoiding IgE-activated response.
Tapping Parasites
Scientists are harnessing proteins from helminth parasites that block the activity of mast cells and other immune players ...

This document discusses food allergies from Mass Citizens for Health Choice. It begins with a disclaimer about not relying on the information as medical advice. It then discusses the basics of food allergies, including that 1 in 12 children have one. The top 8 allergenic foods are listed as milk, eggs, wheat, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, and shellfish. Symptoms of food allergies are described for different age groups from neonates to adults. Long term effects are also mentioned. The document attributes the growing epidemic of food allergies to factors like grain-based diets and lack of traditional and live foods.

Tbt allergy awareness
This document discusses allergy awareness week and provides information about allergies and anaphylaxis. It notes that an estimated 21 million adults in the UK suffer from at least one allergy. It defines an allergy as an inappropriate immune response to normally harmless substances. Common allergy symptoms are listed. It also defines anaphylaxis as a life-threatening allergic reaction that can affect the airway, breathing, or circulation. The document outlines the three main characteristics of anaphylaxis and stresses that it should always be treated as a medical emergency by calling 999 and following other treatment steps.

A cashew allergy occurs when the immune system mistakenly identifies proteins in cashews as harmful substances. In response, the body releases histamines and other chemicals, leading to allergic reactionsFood Allergies
The document discusses food allergies in children, noting that they occur when the immune system mistakes a food as harmful and causes an allergic reaction through histamine release, with potential signs including hives, tightness in the throat, and in severe cases anaphylaxis. It provides information on identifying allergies, managing them through avoiding allergenic foods and having epinephrine available, and the role of parents and schools in keeping children with food allergies safe.
Food allergies
Food allergy is an abnormal response to a food triggered by your body's immune system. In adults, the foods that most often trigger allergic reactions include fish, shellfish, peanuts, and tree nuts, such as walnuts. Problem foods for children can include eggs, milk, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, and wheat

This document summarizes research on allergies conducted at the University of Portsmouth. It discusses various allergic diseases and their prevalence. Key points include: allergic diseases are becoming more common globally; atopy makes one more susceptible to allergies; the most common food allergies are to milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, wheat, fish and shellfish; and the FAIR study in the UK found self-reported food hypersensitivity in 10.9% of children, with confirmed food allergies between 1.4-2.9% depending on age based on food challenges.
