Food Allergy Causes

Hi...
this time i would like to share with you all about allergy and more specific food allergy. the article i got from internet. this article is about the food allergy causes. i choose this topic because it is very related to some people. firstly this article talk about an allergic reaction occurs when the body's immune system overreacts to an allergen; we called immunoglobulin E or IgE. then, when this antibody comes in contact with the particular food protein, it promotes production and release of certain chemicals called "mediators". histamine is an example of a mediator. these mediators act on various parts of the body, mainly the skin, throat, airways, intestines, and heart. the effects of the mediators on organs and other cells cause the symptoms of the allergic reaction. so, any food has the potential to trigger an allergic reaction, but a few foods account for most food allergies. in fact, about 90% of food allergies are triggered by one of these 8 foods: eggs, milk, wheat, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, fish and shellfish. generally people who have allergies react to only a few foods. occasionally a person who is allergic to one food also may be allergic to other related foods. this is called cross-section. then, the common examples such as allergy to peanuts- Cross- allergies to soybeans, green beans, and peas allergy to wheat,- Cross allergy to rye Allergy to cow's milk- Cross- allergy to goat's milk Allergy to pollen- Cross allergies to foods such as hazelnuts, green apples, peaches, and almonds. people who have a history of other allergies, such as eczema or asthma, are particularly prone to having a reaction to a food. they are also more likely to have a more severe reaction.

in my opinion, allergy might be happen to the some people that not have strong body's immune system. Besides, we should choose the food carefully to avoid any health problem. so, that's all about the allergy that i could found. i hope that this article can be as new information to us.
