Avoiding peanuts and nuts is relatively easy. Read the label to check for peanuts, peanut butter or peanut oil, or the specific nut that causes your allergic reactions. If you are allergic to something in your diet, you may experience migraine headaches, constipation or diarrhea, or suffer from chronic colds and extreme fatigue. In addition, you may experience mood swings, be unable to concentrate, or feel anxious and depressed.
Food allergies can develop at any time.
They should be distinguished from food intolerances, which are common but produce less intense reactions. Food allergies manifest in many different ways depending on which food is involved an how your immune system responds. Symptoms of allergies vary from individual to individual. Often, the culprit is food consumed daily by many people, like wheat or dairy products. If you are concerned about possible food allergies, consult your doctor or holistic health practitioner.
