Keeping Alert On Food Allergy Symptoms
Watching TV, one might think the only reaction or symptom to a food allergy is immediate onset anaphylactic shock. Television has a tendency to over dramatize things and it is not surprising that food allergies are on the list of melodramatic moments of television. However, not all food allergy symptoms work like they appear to on television. Here is some information on food allergy symptoms to help you recognize and deal with your possible food allergy.
When Does The Reaction Tend To Happen?
The food allergy symptom is deeply related to the process of digestion. Because this is an awfully complicated process that works differently with different foods, digestion affects the location, timing, and evidence of a food allergy. However, one way to know whether you are having a food allergy symptom does have to do with time. All allergic reactions to food will happen within one hour of consuming the food.
While some foods can inflict immediate and extreme food allergy symptoms, many aren't as obvious. Some can start with an itching in the mouth or a slight difficulty in swallowing or respiring. Later, as the food begins to be digested in the gut and guts, other symptoms may begin to appear.
The individual might be nauseas, he or she may puke or have diarrhea, and abdominal pains are common. All these symptoms can be confused with food poisoning or simply eating your food too quickly. If you've had a food allergy test in the past, know you are allergic to something, and are having these symptoms, contact your GP right away.
Lesser known Food Allergy Symptoms
An itchy, swollen throat, stomach irritability, and abdominal pains are all relatively common food allergy symptoms. However, there are another food allergy symptoms that are not as famous. As an example, many people relate hives to outdoor allergens. However, once allergens are absorbed and enter into your bloodstream, they can ultimately reach the skin.
This creates hives or eczema on the surface of the skin. When the allergens reach your airway, it can induce asthma or asthma like symptoms. An allergen in the bloodstream can also cause lightheadedness, anaphylaxis ( a unexpected drop in blood pressure ) and weakness generally.
These symptoms may not easily be related to food allergies, so if you're prone to food allergies or know that you have one, make efforts to contact your health practitioner immediately. Even food allergy symptoms that start off as mild can quickly progress into a life threatening condition. - 17269
