Food Allergy Defined
A food allergy differs from other types of food sensitivities; it always involves an immune system response to an otherwise harmless food. The substance in a food that causes this reaction is known as an allergen, and is usually a protein component in the food (even grains, fruits and vegetables naturally have a bit of protein). This response is different from other conditions that cause intolerance to certain foods.
In a true food allergy, the immune system acts as if common foods are harmful. In an attempt to protect the body from what it thinks is a problem, the immune system creates specific IgE antibodies to that allergen. A person may not show an allergic reaction at the first exposure to a food. However, the immune system remembers. At later exposures, the immune system comes to the body’s “defense” by releasing chemicals including histamines that contribute to an immune reaction.
A food-allergic reaction may involve the skin, and/or the gastrointestinal, respiratory, and cardiovascular systems. Symptoms may include hives, swelling, vomiting, cramps, diarrhea, itching, and swelling of the lips, tongue or throat, and trouble breathing, to name just a few. Not everyone will experience the same symptoms. For example, milk may cause one person to break out in hives, but cause another person to experience swelling.
Symptoms of an allergic reaction will typically occur within minutes to up to 2 hours after eating the offending food.
Confusing a true food allergy with food intolerance is a common mistake. Lactose intolerance is one example of food intolerance. Many people get an upset stomach after drinking milk. Though it’s possibly due to a milk allergy, the more common reason is lactose intolerance. People who lack an enzyme to digest milk sugars are described as lactose intolerant; the immune system is not involved.
Considering how many different foods a person could eat, tracking down the culprit could seem impossible. Fortunately, about 90% of food allergies are in response to just 8 foods. These include milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, soy, wheat, peanuts, and tree nuts (i.e., walnuts, almonds, etc.).
