There are many different kinds of food allergies. It is possible to be allergic to almost any kind of food. A food allergy is caused by your body mistakenly identifying the proteins in a certain food as a threat. One food allergy in particular that is very common is peanut allergy, but allergies to soya, eggs, milk and wheat are also prevalent. Symptoms of a food allergy: Symptoms of a food allergy will differ greatly depending on the severity of the allergy. If the allergy is mild, you may notice a slight burning or itching sensation in your throat when eating certain foods. A food allergy would usually present with itch, burning or a tingling feeling in the mouth which results in swelling of the tissues in the throat making it difficult to breathe. This would happen very soon after the ingestion of the allergen such as a nut. Adrenaline administered by a device such as an epipen would counteract these symptoms. Treatments for food allergies: Avoidance of the suspect food trigger is essential.Lactose intolerance Histamine intolerant Gluten sensitivity Salicylate intolerance FODMAP intolerance Sulfite sensitivity
