Extractions: Detecting Hidden Food Allergies By Dr William Crook Although skin tests help physicians identify allergies to ragweed, grasses, dust mites and animal danders, such tests provide little help in detecting hidden food allergies (HFA). Common signs and symptoms in both adults and children with HFA include fatigue, nasal congestion, dark circles under the eyes, headache, muscle aches, irritability, abdominal pain, hyperactivity, attention deficits, memory loss and other problems. In discussing food sensitivities, Art Ulene, M.D., said "An elimination diet, properly conducted, is a very reasonable and practical way to identify foods that are causing problems." Carrying out a diet isn't easy. It takes careful planning. Here are some of the things you'll need to do in order to succeed: 1. Before beginning your trial diet, discuss it with members of your family. 2. Carry out the diet at an appropriate time (Don't try it during a holiday). 3. Before beginning a diet, keep a diary or symptom inventory for at least 3 days. 4. Continue the symptom diary while you're following the diet.

Yet, you may not recogn9ize such an allergy unless you carefully search for it. TYPES OF FOOD ALLERGY a) Obvious Food Allergy: As the name implies, you know when you're bothered by this sort of an allergy. Such an allergy is often caused by relatively uncommon foods, such as fish, strawberries, cashew nuts or lobster. However, it may be cased by any food, including egg, citrus, or chocolate. Obvious food allergy often makes you break out in a rash, sneeze, wheeze, swell or give you a headache. b) Hidden or Unsuspected Food Allergy:* This sort of allergy is usually caused by foods you eat every day, including milk, corn, wheat, legumes, chocolate, citrus, egg and sugar. You seem to develop symptoms from eating these foods gradually ...

Not all of the information may be pertinent to your family's lifestyle. This information is general in nature and not intended to be advice, medical or otherwise. If you have a serious breastfeeding problem or concern, you are strongly encouraged to talk directly to a La Leche League Leader . Please consult health care professionals on any medical issue, as La Leche League Leaders are not medical practitioners. Substances in your breast milk coat your baby's intestines, which prevents microscopic food particles from "leaking" through into your baby's bloodstream. When they do pass into the blood (something that is more frequent in an artificially fed baby), these food particles may be treated as foreign substances by his white blood cells, which attack them, and can cause painfully unhealthy allergic reactions, such as diarrhea, sore bottoms, runny noses and eyes, rashes and eczema, or a crying, sleepless baby.

Extractions: Recent improvements in laboratory techniques have made blood testing for food and airborne allergens more reliable than they previously were. The test should include both IgE and IgG antibodies in order to identify both immediate and delayed type allergens. Good laboratories for this kind of testing can be found on our links page . Before having your blood tested, be sure to include any food you are suspicious of in your diet. The lab test may not indicate a reaction if you are not currently consuming that food.

Extractions: Foods that produce a positive allergy skin test result should be removed from the diet immediately. A problem can arise when certain foods fail to produce positive skin test reactions but are still capable of aggravating an allergic reaction. An extensive process of elimination trials is often the only option to properly diagnose the offending substance.

Food Allergy What is food allergy? A food allergy is an abnormal response of the body to a certain food. It is important to know that this is different than a food intolerance, which does not affect the immune system, although some of the same symptoms may be present. What causes food allergy? Before having a food allergy reaction, a sensitive child must have been exposed to the food at least once before, or could also be sensitized through breast milk. It is the second time your child eats the food that the allergic symptoms happen. At that time, when IgE antibodies react with the food, histamines are released, which can cause your child to experience hives, asthma, itching in the mouth, trouble breathing, stomach pains, vomiting, and/or diarrhea.

Extractions: Food intolerance is an umbrella term, which encompasses food allergies, enzyme defects like lactose intolerance, pharmacological reactions to foods and substances (such as headaches or facial flushing that result from histamine, serotonin and tyramine contained in cheese, coffee and pickled fish), and idiosyncratic responses to foods due to toxins they contain. Responses vary according to the individual, and how severe their reaction is to a particular food, but will generally include some form of rash. A food allergy is a specific kind of food intolerance, where the immune system reacts in an abnormal way to a food or food ingredient.

Extractions: Food allergies in infants and babies are not very common, but they cause severe discomfort and may even be life-threatening. During the first year of life, babies may be allergic to cow's milk or soy protein present in infant formulas, and breast-fed babies may be allergic to the same protein in the mother's diet. Symptoms of milk allergies vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, bloody stools may develop within minutes or hours of food ingestion. But most gastrointestinal symptoms develop over the course of days and weeks. Of greatest concern are those babies with asthma who may have difficulty breathing due to swelling of the upper airway and may have an anaphylactic reaction. Milder reactions include eczema, hives, and skin rashes. Irritability and excessive crying, which mimic infantile colic are additional symptoms. If milk allergies persist, they may inhibit the baby's growth. Milk allergies are due to an immunological reaction against proteins called casein or whey. When allergic babies are exposed to these proteins, which may be considered foreign intruders, they become sensitized, and with each subsequent exposure the symptoms are likely to worsen. Sensitization may even occur during the last trimester of pregnancy via the ingestion of dairy products in the mother's diet, causing symptoms to develop immediately after birth.

My allergist says that I am actually allergic to what pork turns into in my body because I do not react for several hours. I have had some accute reactions lately and since I didn't react to any of the foods that we tested, my allergist thinks I am reacting to a food additive, but we don't which one. It seems to be something in Sprite, but I don't know for sure. I also get a rash when I eat or drink something with aspartame (Nutri-Sweet) in it. (The FDA says that aspartame does not cause an allergic reaction. OK, so I get a RASH reaction from it then.) My youngest daughter has been diagnosed with a dairy allergy. Under doctor's advice, I am breastfeeding my baby and following a dairy-free diet. I feel pretty good since getting off of dairy foods. It seems that I do not handle dairy foods well. I have much fewer migraines and my Irritable Bowel Syndrome symptoms have gone away completely since I've gone off of dairy. Now technically I tested negative to a dairy allergy, so I'll just say dairy and I don't get along well together.

Extractions: Can Behavior Be Changed by Food Allergies? We have discovered that food allergies can have a devastating impact on behavior. We went through a nightmare before we discovered it and we had doctor after doctor, teachers and principals recommend treatment for mental illness. We were almost at the point of giving up on a hopelessly mentally ill child. Then we discovered food allergies. "Tammy" (not her real name) is allergic to potatoes, beef, citrus, most fruits, and milk. Any one of these in her diet will cause her to become irritable, uncooperative, and irrational. Once started, it becomes a non-ending tantrum. She can become so wildly out of control, that a straight-jacket could become a consideration to prevent her hurting herself. Tammy is also allergic to grass and oats. When they harvested oat hay nearby this year, Tammy had temper tantrums even though her diet was carefully watched. When all allergens are removed from her environment, Tammy is exceptionally bright and creative. She went from almost no reading comprehension to fourth grade level in less than two weeks. She is a sweet, loving, generous and thoughtful child. Travelling with a child on a restricted diet requires a lot of effort, careful planning, and sweet talking a lot of waitresses. Be prepared to leave large tips. I wish all the luck in the world. I know what you are going through.

With repeated ingestion of the food, however, symptoms may gradually return. When a problem food is rotated, symptoms are less likely to return. Some healthcare practitioners recommend rotating food groups (such as legumes every other day) in addition to rotating specific foods. The importance of rotating foods varies from person to person and may be related to the severity of the allergies. The following foods are the least likely to provoke allergic reactions: Beverages Cereals Oatmeal Oat bran Cream of rye Puffed rice and millet Diluted apple juice
