Food that produces intolerances and allergies

A food allergy must be distinguished from a personal intolerance.

In the first case, food allergies are dangerous to health because they produce severe symptoms, such as itchy throat, swollen tongue, or even anaphylactic shock.

In case of experimenting some food allergy, the food causing it should be prohibited and you should go to the doctor.

Food suspected of causing intolerance

To know which food is the cause of intolerance, the method of personal evaluation can be used. A simple way to do this is to abandon the ingestion of a food if it is suspected that it produces negative reactions in the body (aggravation of dermatitis).

It is recommended to go to the allergist doctor to help diagnose these intolerances.

Intolerance to histamine

histamine intolerance is due to a deficit in the DAO enzyme, which can be genetic, or caused by the taking of drugs (there are up to 90 drugs that block this enzyme).

It is characterized because normally the dermatitis picture is accompanied by migraine or gastrointestinal symptoms.

Diet for autoimmune diseases

There is a food restriction protocol to improve autoimmune diseases able to avoid or improve certain symptoms.

It has been proven how some components of food produce an immune reaction and trigger an outbreak or aggravation of these diseases

Foods that cause allergy and hypersensitivity

Sometimes the foods that produce allergies are more difficult to detect since for it to occur there must be the combination of several elements at a time.

It must be borne in mind that, if a food produces an allergy, it will also be produced by foods belonging to the same family. For example, as food belonging to the same family we have: garlic, onions and leeks (Liliaceae); or cashew nuts, mango and pistachio (Anacardiaceae).

The best option is to check which foods can be eaten and which foods can not be eaten is to make a “Diet of exclusion of a few foods” that must be controlled medically and that lasts for a month and a half.

Once it is verified that the foods of this diet are not harmful, new foods can be added progressively to complete it (More information on the diet of excluding a few foods)
