Food Allergies 101: Part 3

August 18, 2009 - 7:34am 367 reads 1 comments

In the first two segments of Food Allergies 101, I talked about symptoms that are results of food allergies and two specific immune reactions to food in the body. If you need a refresher on either of those subjects you can skim over those posts from last week. In this final segment of Food Allergies 101 I will be discussing the treatment plan for food allergies.

Since we talked about 2 different reactions, the anaphylactic reaction and the hypersensitivity reaction, it would seem that there would be two different treatment plans. In actually there is only one: avoid the foods that cause the body to create an immune response. Here is my caveat, in the anaphylactic reaction, avoidance of the foods are required to preserve the life of the patient in some instances. In the hypersensitivity delayed reaction, avoidance is necessary to eliminate symptoms and preserve wellness.

One of the keys to the treatment is to understand that when dealing with allergies, the food irritating the allergy must be avoided. There is an immune reaction whenever the food enters the body.
