This document provides information about food allergies and intolerances. It defines food allergies as immune system reactions to certain foods, while food intolerances involve an inability to digest some foods. The major food allergens are identified as crustaceans, milk, tree nuts, fish, eggs, peanuts, sesame seeds, soybeans, and gluten. Anaphylaxis is described as the most severe allergic reaction. Common food intolerances include lactose intolerance and milk intolerance. The document outlines management of allergies and intolerances through testing, first aid, reading labels, and always asking about ingredients when eating out.

Food allergens are becoming a topic of ever increasing interest. The challenge to food producers is, how to manage the risk of allergens in "allergen-free" products.
The Importance of Allergen Management in Food IndustryPECB
Every year millions of people get adversely affected by the food they consume. Vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal
pain and fever are some serious symptoms of food borne diseases which people may experience after
consumption of contaminated foods. Bacteria, viruses, parasites and toxins are the main cause of most
illnesses, hospitalizations, and deaths. The need for national and international food safety strategies to control
these hazards and to ensure fitness of food for human consumption goes back to the 1960s.
However, in the last decade the increased number of allergy-related hospitalizations has resulted in many
regulations regarding allergen management. The food industry has positively responded to these regulations.
This is a introduction to food safety in a small, medium size hotels, resorts or food setup (as in restaurant) It can be used as a guide to train staff.

Cashew Allergy: Causes, Symptoms, Preventions, and Diagnosing | The Lifescien...The Lifesciences Magazine
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 reactions
This presentation was created as a food allergy guide for nurses working in a school setting.
The goals of the presentation include:
1. Recognize signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis
2. Understand acute management of anaphylaxis
3. Discuss long term preventive approaches for individuals at risk for anaphylaxis
Created by Dr. Robert Sugerman and Dr. Stacy Silvers of Dallas Allergy Immunology.
RESPONDING TO THE SYMPTOMS OF MINOR AILMENTS FOOD AND DRUG ALLERGY
Minor ailments are generally defined as medical conditions that will resolve on their own and can be reasonably self-diagnosed and self-managed with over the counter medications.
Community pharmacists are seen as one of the most accessible health care professions since many pharmacies can be found on the high street and no appointment is necessary.
Responding to symptoms is one of the important role of community pharmacist so as to be able to provide the proper pharmaceutical care.
They supply medicines in accordance with a prescription or when legally permitted, dispense them without a prescription.
FOOD ALLERGY
Food allergies occur when the body's immune system reacts to certain proteins in food.
Food allergic reactions vary in severity from mild symptoms involving hives and lip swelling to severe, life-threatening symptoms, often called anaphylaxis, that may involve fatal respiratory problems and shock.
There are many food allergies.

ROLE OF COMMUNITY PHARMACIST IN MANAGING FOOD ALLERGIES
DRUG ALLERGY
A drug allergy is the reaction of the immune system to a medicine.
Any medicine nonprescription, prescription or herbal can provoke a drug allergy.
Include inactive or nonmedicinal ingredients into computer allergy database.
Perform independent double checks during order entry and dispensing as well to prevent incidences of allergic reactions undetected by the computer software.
The pharmacist should instruct the patient to carry a Medic Alert card or bracelet to avoid future accidental prescription/dispensing of any drugs to which he or she is allergic.
Pharmacists should educate patients about drug allergies.
Patients and family members should be educated on the generic names of the drugs they are allergic to and other potentially cross-reacting drugs.
The pharmacist can also help families know if a related drug might cause a similar reaction
Pharmacists can help patients and families identify drug allergies by asking questions such as:
When did your reaction occur?
Have you had any recent drug changes?
What were your symptoms?
Does anything make you feel better or worse?
Whenever a person presents with a suspected drug allergy, a detailed record should be taken to include the generic and brand names of the drug, its strength and formulation and which drugs, or drug classes, should be avoided in future
Pharmacists can help treat drug allergies by stopping the drug, using a different dose or form of the drug, or using additional drugs to relieve allergy symptoms (Antihistamines, Corticosteroids).
