Food Allergies Symptoms

By John Mczinski


In this video Dr. Joshua Gibbs discusses the abnormality of reactions that individuals face in some types of foods. Allergens in foods are the components that are responsible for creating an allergic reaction.

They're proteins that resist the heat of cooking, the acid within the stomach, and the intestinal digestive enzymes.

An allergic reaction occurs because an allergy antibody called immunoglobulin (IgE). An additional reason why an allergic reason occurs is because of the mast cell, a specialized cell that shops up histamine. The mast cell is generally discovered within the nose, throat, lungs, skin and gastrointestinal tract. The allergen actually stimulates lymphocytes to produce IgE antibody that's utilized specifically against the allergen. The next time the person eats that particular food; allergen concentrates on that particular IgE antibody. Depending upon the tissue in which they are released, these chemicals can trigger different symptoms of food allergy.

Some symptoms of food allergy happen inside a brief time period. A food allergy reaction can be itching in the mouth, difficulty swallowing and breathing. After the food slowly gets digested and enters the stomach, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal discomfort can happen. The allergens that are absorbed into the bloodstream can reach the skin and they might trigger hives or eczema and that might result in asthma. Allergic reactions can be harmful if not treated quickly because the body treats the food or substance as a harmful or harmful cell. The body will attempt to fight it and eliminate it, although it's harmless. Allergic reactions can be controlled and treated with an inhaler or EpiPen, this allows the person to breathe and be given enough time to rush towards the hospital.
