Food Allergies

Food allergies occur when the immune system reacts to specific foods, potentially causing symptoms such as hives, swelling, vomiting, abdominal pain, breathing difficulty, or anaphylaxis. Common food allergens include peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, milk, eggs, wheat, and soy.

Not all food reactions represent true allergies. Over-diagnosis can lead to unnecessary food avoidance, anxiety, and nutritional challenges.
