Food Allergies

Food allergy is an excessive response of the body's immune system to food ingredients or raw materials, usually caused by proteins. The most common food allergens are milk, eggs, peanuts, soybeans, nuts, wheat, fish, and crustacean seafood. Of course, there are many other types of food that can also cause allergic reactions in some people, but the above eight categories of food can contain about 90% of the cases.

The symptoms of allergies may vary greatly from person to person. Even if one person has different food, different allergic symptoms may occur. Food allergies vary in severity and speed of occurrence, and may vary at different times. Common acute symptoms include skin discomfort such as urticaria, eczema- gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea- respiratory symptoms such as a runny nose, sneezing, shortness of breath, etc.
