Food Allergy Supplement Bio-Allergy Plus Supports healthy sinus and upper respiratory function Helps the body reduce sensitivity to food, airborne or contact substances BioAllergy is an exciting new nutritional product that can dramatically enhance your allergic patients’ quality of life. This formula was developed without typical sedating or stimulating antihistamine ingredients. In BioAllergy Plus, botanicals and enzymes are used instead. In all allergic processes, tissue anchored white blood cells, known as ‘mast cells’, become sensitized and produce inflammatory compounds such as histamines and leukotrienes.

In adults, the foods that most often trigger allergic reactions include
Fish and shellfish, such as shrimp, lobster and crab
Peanuts
Tree nuts, such as walnuts
Eggs

Problem foods for children are eggs, milk (especially in infants and young children) and peanuts.

Milk food allergy is much more common in children than in adults. However, by age 6, over 80 percent outgrow the allergy. Symptoms of milk food allergy include hives, vomiting and breathing problems after consuming a dairy product. Many adults may experience symptoms similar to milk food allergy, as adults often have trouble digesting the sugar in milk. This is called "lactose intolerance." It isn't a true allergy. The symptoms of lactose intolerance are bloating, cramping, nausea, gas and diarrhea.

With a true food allergy, an individual's immune system will overreact to an ordinarily harmless food. This is caused by an allergic antibody called IgE (Immunoglobulin E), which is found in people with allergies. This antibody may develop after eating the food repeatedly in the past but without having problems.

In some food groups, especially tree nuts and seafood, an allergy to one member of a food family may result in the person being allergic to all the members of the same group. This is known as cross-reactivity in food allergy. However, some people may be allergic to both peanuts and walnuts, which are from different food families; these allergies are called coincidental food allergies, because they are not related.

The most common allergic skin reaction to food allergy is hives. Hives are red, very itchy, swollen areas of the skin that may arise suddenly and leave quickly. They often appear in clusters, with new clusters appearing as other areas clear. Hives may occur alone or with other symptoms.

In severe cases, consuming a food to which one is allergic can cause a life-threatening reaction called anaphylaxis- a systemic allergic reaction that can be severe and sometimes fatal. The first signs of anaphylaxis may be a feeling of warmth, flushing, tingling in the mouth or a red, itchy rash. Other symptoms of food allergy may include feelings of light-headedness, shortness of breath, severe sneezing, anxiety, stomach or uterine cramps, and/or vomiting and diarrhea. In severe cases, patients with food allergy may experience a drop in blood pressure that results in a loss of consciousness and shock. Without immediate treatment, anaphylaxis may cause death.
