About 6-8% of Children are affected by Food allergies worldwide. When a certain food component is consumed it can sometimes trigger the immune system in the wrong way causing a hypersensitive reaction. This is termed a Food Allergy. These hypersensitive reactions cause signs and symptoms like digestive complications, rashes, or inflamed airways. Nutrition and diet have an important role in allergic disease. While prescription and over-the-counter drugs suppress allergy symptoms, proper nutrition can actually strengthen your immune system and gradually decrease the onset of allergic attacks.
