Food Allergy treatment from Homeopathy Medicine

Food allergies are common allergic reactions in our body. When your immune system reacts to certain proteins in food, it can lead to an allergic reaction. Some commonly noticed symptoms of food allergies include:

Food Allergy Treatment

  • Low blood pressure
  • Swelling of the tongue, mouth, or face
  • Hives
  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Itchy rashes
  • Difficulty in breathing

In severe cases of food allergies, it can lead to anaphylaxis (hypersensitive reaction to protein or drugs).

Antibody Food Allergies

Food allergies are divided into two main types that include IgE antibody and Non-IgE antibody.

Antibodies are a blood protein that help your immune system fight infections after recognizing them. In IgE food allergies, your immune system releases the IgE antibody to fight the infection.

In a non-IgE food allergy, your immune system uses other parts of the body to fight the infection without releasing the non-IgE antibody.

IgE Mediated Food Allergy Symptoms

People may notice symptoms that include:

  • Tingling and itching in the mouth
  • Swelling in the face, mouth, throat, and other areas of the body
  • Hay fever symptoms (sneezing or itchy eyes)
  • Difficulty in swallowing
  • Wheezing or shortness of breath
  • Hives
  • Nausea or vomiting

Non IgE Mediated Food Allergy Signs

These allergies can take several days to show up. The symptoms may include:

  • Redness and itchy skin (hives)
  • Vomiting with or without diarrhea
  • Atopic eczema
  • Abdominal cramps
  • Constipation
  • Excessive and uncontrollable crying in babies

It may cause an issue with breathing, a drop in blood pressure, a swollen throat, and pale or blue lips. If you notice any such reactions after the consumption of peanuts, get yourself treated by a professional.
  7. Soy Allergy – In soy allergies, the symptoms may include a clogged or running nose, stomach aches, and rash. It is first seen in infants; as soy is a common ingredient used in infant formulas. Some children may outgrow the allergic reactions by childhood.
  8. Wheat Allergy – If you notice symptoms like hives or a skin rash, sneezing, and a stuffy or running nose due to bread, pasta or cereal, you may have a wheat allergy. You can be at greater risk if both your parents have allergic diseases like eczema or asthma.
  9. FPIES Allergy – Food Protein-Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome is a non-IgE mediated food allergy with common triggers that include cow’s milk, soy, and grains (oats, barley, rice). A severe reaction to this type of allergy can lead to a drop in energy levels, body temperature change, and low blood pressure that can cause hospitalization. Infants with this allergy might have poor growth or be diagnosed with failure to thrive.
