#FoodAllergyAwarenessWeek

provides a unique opportunity to help raise #awareness of #food #allergies and #anaphylaxis.

That's almost 10% of the population with allergies to #milk, #soy, #wheat, #shellfish or #peanuts.

Food allergies are caused by your body identifying #proteins in foods as #enemies, thereby launching into protective measurements to fight back, causing #inflammation and other #reactions.

Symptoms of food intolerance include: Nausea. Stomach pain. Gas, cramps or bloating. Vomiting. Heartburn. Diarrhea. Headaches. Irritability or nervousness.

A true #foodallergy causes an #immune system reaction that affects numerous #organs in the body. It can cause a range of #symptoms. In some cases, an allergic food reaction can be severe or life-threatening. In contrast, #foodintolerance symptoms are generally less serious and often limited to #digestive problems.
