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 isn't a surprise that food allergies are on the list of melodramatic moments of TV. However, not all food allergy symptoms work like they seem to on TV. Here is some info on food allergy symptoms to help you recognize and deal with your possible food allergy.
When Does The Reaction Occur?
The food allergy symptom is very related to the process of digestion. Because this is an awfully advanced process that works differently with different foods, digestion affects the location, timing, and symptoms of a food allergy. However, one way to know whether or not you are having a food allergy symptom does have to do with time. All allergic reactions to food will occur within an hour of ingesting the food.
While some foods can inflict immediate and extreme food allergy symptoms, many are not as noticeable. Some can begin with an itching in the mouth or a slight difficulty in swallowing or breathing. Later, as the food starts to be digested in the belly and guts, other symptoms may start to appear.
The individual may be nauseas, he or she may barf or have diarrhea, and intestinal pains are common. All these symptoms can be confused with food poisoning or just eating your food too fast. If you've had a food allergy test during the past, know you are allergic to something, and are having these symptoms, contact your doctor right away.
Lesser Known Food Allergy Symptoms
An itchy, distended throat, stomach irritability, and abdominal pains are all relatively common food allergy symptoms. However, there are some other food allergy symptoms that aren't as well known. For example, many people relate hives to outdoor allergens. However, once allergens are absorbed and enter into your bloodstream, they will eventually 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 may 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 subject to food allergies or know that you have one, make efforts to contact your doctor immediately. Even food allergy symptoms that start off as mild can rapidly progress into a life-threatening condition. - 17268
