Food allergy is an adverse reaction resulting from an inappropriate
immunological response to a food antigen. It usually presents
itself as a multi-system involvement. Definitive treatment of food
allergy is strict elimination of the offending food from the diet.
Symptomatic reactivity to food allergens is generally very
specific, and patients rarely react to more than one food in a
botanical or animal species. If elimination diets are prescribed,
care must be taken to ensure that they are palatable and
nutritionally adequate. Patients must have a good knowledge of
foods containing the allergen and must be taught to scrutinize the
labels of all packaged food carefully. This book examines the
effects of food allergies, as well as the various treatments that
are available for this condition.
