Common Food Allergies Eight Foods Represent 90% of all Food Allergies

Common food allergies include eight foods, which represent an estimated 90% of allergic reactions. A food allergy is commonly an adverse immune system reaction to a food protein, They are different than other negative reactions to food, such as food intolerance, pharmacological reactions, and toxin reactions. Proteins in the food are the most common allergic ingredient. These allergies occur as the bodies defense systems, or immune system identifies a protein as being dangerous to our body mistakenly, so you could call it a case of mistaken identity.

To put it another way, allergic reactions to food involves two key components of the immune system. One component is a type of protein, an allergy antibody called immunoglobulin E (IgE), which circulates through the blood. The other is the mast cell, a specialized cell that stores up histamine and is found in all tissues of the body.

Food Allergies Symptoms and Phenol Sensitivity How They Can Affect Children

Phenols, sometimes called phenolics, are organic chemicals that are naturally occurring in some foods and are also associated with food additives, so can lead to food allergies as well. Phenols are found in other household products as well, forming the basis for drugs (such as aspirin), nylon, detergents, weed killers, and epoxy resins.

Dr. Ben Feingold is credited with discovering that phenols can have an adverse effect on some children’s behavior. Another problem with it is that it is often associated with autism. Some of the symptoms of this sensitivity include:

* Dark circles under the eyes

* Dyslexia
* Tics or seizures
