Doubts Cast On Food Intolerance Testing

Aging population and food intolerances to carve food trends in 2012: report

The gold standard is an oral food challenge, which involves eating small doses of the suspect food under medical supervision. Food intolerances are unpleasant reactions that do not involve the immune system, according to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. They can be caused by enzyme deficiencies, sensitivities to food additives such as sulfites and monosodium glutamate, or reactions to naturally occurring chemicals. For example, people who lack an enzyme needed to digest sugar in milk have lactose intolerance. Sulfites used to preserve dried fruit, canned goods and wine trigger asthma attacks in sensitive people. Adverse reactions to wheat or the protein gluten come in several forms. Celiac disease is an immune system reaction to gluten that causes inflammation in the small intestine. A wheat allergy is an allergic reaction to wheat, almost always caused by the gluten. And gluten sensitivity means a person has symptoms after ingesting gluten but doesn’t have either of the other conditions, said Stefano Guandalini, founder and medical director of the University of Chicago’s Celiac Disease Center.

Weight gain: Are food intolerances to blame?

They’re much more common and difficult to diagnose than food allergies. People have trouble attributing what they’re eating to a certain symptom because the symptom might not occur for a few days. Intolerances are often confused with allergies because of the similarities in symptoms, but they’re not the same. Symptoms of intolerance may include diarrhea, stomach pain and vomiting, but not hives, airway swelling or anaphylaxis. Sandquist says that intolerances can also cause cravings, tiredness, bloating and even headaches a few days later. “I recommend logging what you eat and tracking your symptoms over time,” she says.

Tamara Duker Freuman Nowadays, it seems everyone has a restricted diet of some sort. Some people avoid milk for a variety of reasonseither due to lactose intolerance, an inability to digest the milk sugar in dairy products, or concerns that dairy makes them congested. Glutenthe main protein found in wheatis increasingly being shunned by health-conscious consumers who believe it to be a “toxin” responsible for everything from bloating and weight gain to poor energy and “brain fogs.” And the latest newcomer to the food intolerance scene is fructosethe primary sugar in fruit juice, honey, agave nectar, and high-fructose corn syrupwhich research suggests may be poorly digested in up to 30 percent of the Caucasian population. It seems we’re a nation suffering from a case of collective indigestion. And it raises a few important questions. What is a food intolerance? Is food intolerance truly on the rise? Is there something real behind this trend, or is it all in our minds? Unlike true food allergies , which involve a systemic and potentially life-threatening immune response to the protein in an offending food, a food intolerance tends to trigger symptoms which are unpleasant, but not dangerous per se.

Food Intolerance: Fact and Fiction

Food intolerances versus food allergies Unlike food allergies that are acute and severe, food intolerances can be tricky to pinpoint. If someone with a peanut allergy eats peanuts,she can go into anaphylactic shock and immediately need medical attention this is acute and severe. Someone with a food intolerance, on the other hand, will experience subtle symptoms that can worsen over time. Food intolerances fire up your immune system just like food allergies do, but their effect is more subtle and symptoms may not appear for several hours or even days, after youve eaten a highly reactive food. So you may not make the connection between, say, the egg-white omelet you had for breakfast and that late-afternoon splitting headache. Food intolerances develop when you repeatedly eat a highly reactive food. They can trigger leaky gut, immune reactions and inflammation, and can also stall fast fat loss. How do you know if you have food intolerances? Food intolerances trigger numerous symptoms.

Lucy says: “The first thing to point out is that lactose intolerance is not an allergy. People will have a certain tolerance point, meaning they can manage a little, but maybe not a whole glass of milk. “Most people with a lactose intolerance do not need to exclude all dairy in pre-made foods as these typically contain small amounts of lactose and do not cause symptoms. This means that many people with a lactose intolerance could still eat a small yoghurt for example.” Story continues below the slideshow: Loading Slideshow Crisps, flavoured nuts and tortillas Any manufactured food, bakery, butchers products or deli items If you do want to take steps towards a dairy-free existence, The Food Doctor nutritionist Alice Mackintosh says: “Though there isnt a lot of specific research that suggests dairy is bad for us, many people find they generally feel better not over doing it.

Fructose is a sugar that’s found in fruits, honey and some syrups. It’s also a basic component in table sugar (sucrose) , and it’s used to sweeten many processed foods and beverages. In addition, sorbitol a sugar alcohol is converted to fructose during digestion. Sorbitol is a sugar substitute often used in diet drinks, ice cream, mints, cough syrups and sugar-free chewing gum. You should avoid foods containing fructose. In addition to fruits, honey, syrups and table sugar, watch out for high-fructose corn syrup , powdered sugars, regular sodas, flavored waters, sports drinks and sweetened milks. Read food labels carefully to avoid fructose. The term fructose intolerance covers two conditions: hereditary fructose intolerance and fructose malabsorption.

Cells and chemicals from the immune system enter the lung tissues and the breathing tubes become hyper-reactive. This means the tubes are easily triggered into constricting or narrowing, making it harder to move air through the lungs, and breathing becomes difficult. In addition, the mucosa or lining becomes swollen. Excessive production of mucus occurs. These changes add to difficult breathing.

Antioxidant None of these I’m not sure An aging population means that grocery store shelves will be increasingly lined with foods that come with added health claims while younger consumers with food intolerances will drive demand for gluten-, nut- or dairy-free foods in 2012, predicts a market research group in the UK. According to the latest trendspotting predictions of Leatherhead Food Research, a strong interest in maintaining a healthy, active lifestyle among retiring Baby Boomers will fuel more product launches in the functional food market next year — foods that come with health claims. Expect to see more products with glucosamine for joint health, for example, and foods with added omega-3 for brain health, analysts say. Artery-cleaning products are also poised to make a breakthrough in the functional food market, experts say, and seduce older consumers with promises of cardiovascular benefits. Meanwhile, “free-from” foods — labels that indicate gluten-, dairy-, soy- and nut-free products — will experience rising popularity in 2012, Leatherhead says. And its not necessarily consumers with food allergies who are driving this demand, but those who are voluntarily cutting out ingredients and making changes to their diets.

While it’s anyone’s guess as to whether the actual prevalence of non-immune food intolerances is increasing, there are some compelling reasons to think they could be. As American diets include more and more processed foods, our intake of staple processed ingredients like wheat and fructose is also increasing. Average per capita intake of fructose appears to have increased by an estimated 32 to 48 percent between the late 1970s and 2004, according to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, conducted through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Experts also point out that the quality of the ingredients we eat has changed. As U.S.

These foods commonly cause allergies: Eggs Histamine and other amines in some foods. Finding the allergen When symptoms appear within a few minutes of eating the particular food, it makes pinpointing the allergen an easy task. However, if the cause is unknown, diagnostic tests may be needed, such as: Keeping a food and symptoms diary to check for patterns Removing all suspect foods for two weeks, then reintroducing them one at a time to test for reactions (except in cases of anaphylaxis). This must only be done under medical supervision Skin prick tests using food extracts Blood (RAST) tests.

Sometimes, the body can tolerate the food if it is avoided for a time, then reintroduced in small doses, particularly for food intolerances. Before you eliminate foods from your diet, seek advice from a doctor and dietitian.

Food intolerances: Fact or fiction?

Food intolerance

It usually occurs because the body can’t produce enough enzymes or chemicals to aid proper digestion, with two well-known food intolerances being to milk (lactose intolerance) and gluten (coeliac disease). Symptoms tend to occur with the foods we eat most commonly, and sometimes if you are only mildly intolerant the symptoms may be vague and difficult to pin point. Because of the non-specific nature of intolerances, a number of tests have sprung up that claim to diagnose them. These include methods such as vega testing, applied kinesiology and hair analysis. However according to dieticians who specialise in intolerance, the only reliable way to test for intolerance is by an exclusion diet. This involves removing all suspect foods from the diet (which is a very bland diet in the initial stages) before reintroducing them back one by one whilst keeping a diary of symptoms. Because it means following a very restricted diet, exclusion testing should only really be done in conjunction with a qualified health professional.

Food components are placed in 271 test tubes and the patients blood is added to each test tube. If a food intolerance exists, antibodies develop and bind with the food or additive and the machine records the level of the intolerance on a five-point sliding scale, which ranges from no intolerance to severe intolerance (a higher concentration of antibodies in the blood would indicate a the higher intolerance level). Treatment: Treatment for a food intolerance is based on reducing or eliminating the intake of certain problem foods that are causing the digestive system to flair up. Additionally, the specific symptoms that arise can be treated, says Dr Safai. The most important part of the treatment plan is eliminating the culprit foods. This should be followed by proper eating habits in order to heal the digestive system.

Food Allergies and Food Intolerance

For example, being allergic to milk is different from not being able to digest it properly due to lactose intolerance. It is extremely important for people who have true food allergies to identify them and prevent allergic reactions to food because these reactions can cause devastating illness and, in some cases, be fatal. Gluten-Free Diet for People With Gluten Allergies or Celiac Disease How Food Allergies Work Food allergies involve two features of the human immune response. One is the production of immunoglobulin E (IgE), a type of protein called an antibody that circulates through the blood. The other is the mast cell, a specific cell that occurs in all body tissues but is especially common in areas of the body that are typical sites of allergic reactions, including the nose and throat, lungs, skin, and gastrointestinal tract. The ability of a given individual to form IgE against something as benign as food is an inherited predisposition. Generally, such people come from families in which allergies are common — not necessarily food allergies but perhaps hay fever , asthma , or hives .

In nature, vegetables are contaminated with species of flex Clostridium and Bacillus bacteria which are vital for proper digestion and development of the immune system. When we spray soil and plants with man-made chemicals we damage the fragile ecosystem, and extensive washing or cooking also gets rid of the naturally occurring microorganisms clinging to foods. Antibiotics and other pharmaceuticals, poor diet, excessive hygiene and bottle-feeding also contribute to the rapid increase in people getting food intolerance.

Is food intolerance just a fad?

To make matters worse, food allergy and food intolerance are often thought to be the same thing. But there is an important difference. Food allergy is relatively rare and potentially more dangerous. When someone is allergic to a certain food, their immune system reacts as if the food were an invader and produces antibodies which can cause rashes, digestive problems, nasal inflammation and swelling of the airways. Food intolerance, on the other hand, does not involve an immune response.

Make-up & Skin Products If you don’t regularly wear makeup and decide to re-vamp your look for your valentine, keep the following points in mind to avoid an irritating or even dangerous allergic reaction on the special day: Keep your makeup fresh: keeping items longer than recommend can provide a breeding ground for bacteria. Wash your hands before applying makeup and avoid storing cosmetics in places that are above 85 degrees. Fragrances and preservatives are the most common chemicals that cause reactions so look for fragrance free or perfume free products. Massage oils, perfumes, lotions, shaving cream (especially if they are new products and contain fragrance and preservatives) can cause reactions if you have sensitive skin.

Global Food Allergy market: Latest market analysis presented

Air travel is a nightmare because her daughter can suffer severe allergic reactions because of airborne nut proteins, not only from eating nuts, she said. Some airlines serve peanuts as snacks, while others serve heated nuts to first-class passengers. And airlines have no control over passengers bringing nuts onboard. Wicker contends that airline policies to deal with nut allergies are scattered and inconsistent, making it inconvenient and even dangerous for allergy sufferers to travel by air. “We rarely fly. It’s a nerve-wracking experience because you never know what’s going to happen on that flight,” she said, adding that she’s always uncertain about whether flight attendants and fellow passengers will cooperate to keep her daughter safe.

Food for thought: Lurie researches new treatments of childhood food allergies

Even trace amounts of a food can cause a reaction for highly allergic people. Use color coding. How about trying color-coded cooking utensils this year? A bright red silicone spatula or a nifty lime green serving spoon is sure to alert food-allergic guests. Many large box stores stock seasonal arrays of themed and brightly colored utensils in advance of the holiday season. Consider donating. If a guest brings a food item that contains allergens, and there’s an allergic diner at the table, you could accept the item if it’s well-sealed and donate it later to a friend or a soup kitchen.

While cooking can alter the protein of a raw egg, it may not be sufficient to prevent an allergic reaction. Some mildly egg-allergic children can eat well-cooked eggs (in cake, for example) without experiencing any food- allergy symptoms, but not raw or lightly cooked eggs. Other children can have severe allergic reactions to even well-cooked eggs. In general, patients with egg allergies should keep on an egg-avoidance diet until they reach school age. Dr. Yong H. Tsai is board-certified in rheumatology, allergy and clinical immunology and has been practicing in this area since 1993. Send questions to Dr.

What also becomes critical is the parents involvement. Options Just as with educators, parents approaches to dealing with their childrens food allergies vary. Fischer opted to obtain for her daughter a Section 504 Accommodation Plan, named for the part of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which protects public school students with disabilities from discrimination. It outlined procedures and precautions staff members should take in order to avoid triggering Mercedes milk allergy. One thing schools have to understand is the severity of the allergen and what they need to do themselves to protect the child, Fischer said. School officials need to be able to listen to a parent and listen to the child and understand what its like for that parent and for that child to manage that allergy. Kelly Williamson, does not have a 504 plan for her 7-year-old son who is allergic to peas and peanuts and who attends second grade at Southeast Elementary School in the Ankeny Community School District. Its a great thing for people from a liability standpoint, but I am on the side of preventing. I dont want anything to happen. I dont care whos liable, said Williamson, who lives in Ankeny and founded the advocacy group Food Allergy of Iowa.

Navigating the holidays with food allergies

A table laden with holiday food offerings can present a minefield for people with food allergies.

All the studies at the center attempt to desensitize childrens bodies to their allergy and possibly create a tolerance for the allergy. Desensitization is like tricking a childs body into tolerating the allergy. Tolerance would be actually curing the child of the allergy, explained Makhija All the studies in which the center participates in are multicentered. A study that is multicentered has a better chance of excluding biases and is able to recruit enough patients to make the trial successful, Makhija said. Lurie Childrens is one of the only hospitals in the Midwest to be joining these studies, Wendy Lankenau, a research nurse at the Division of Allergy and Immunology at the hospital, said.

Take A Look At These Allergy Tips!



Are allergies getting the best of you? Is it hard to sleep at night and difficult to function during the day? If your answer is yes, you are not the only one. Tens of millions of people from Austria to Zaire join you in suffering the symptoms of allergies. Some people have found that this is one of the best ways to fight allergies and get relief. The article below discusses some of these methods.

For the sake of safety, test antihistimines from home. Some of these drugs can make you sleepy and impair your reflexes. Anytime you are trying a new allergy medication, you should give yourself plenty of time to determine what the results will be. Even allergy medications that do not carry dire warnings may cause problems when driving or performing other potentially dangerous feats.

If you’re suffering from allergies, maybe you should skip the medicine aisle of your local mega-mart and instead go see the doctor. Medical professionals can better diagnose what’s wrong and what types of treatments you should have. You doctor can provide you with a sample or you can buy the smallest package available. If that particular product does not alleviate your allergic symptoms, you can move onto the next one without throwing away your money.

Think about removing carpet from your home. Carpet can be the best place for dead dust mites, pollen and dust to hide. If you have the money, think about switching over to tile, laminate or wood floors instead of wall-to-wall carpeting. This will have a big difference when it comes to the allergy-causing substances you could potentially breathe. If you cannot change your floor, be sure to vacuum everyday.

Now, some effective natural remedies are available to allergy sufferers. These products are often very effective ways of neutralizing an allergic reaction and its symptoms. They will help you naturally decrease your sneezing, itching, runny nose, etc.

If you experience allergy symptoms but are unaware of the source of your irritation, your household pet may be to blame. To find out whether or not your pet is the culprit, visit your doctor and ask to have a pet dander allergy test. If you are allergic to your pets, you can usually make a few changes rather than give them up.

If your child is allergic to certain foods, you should always pack safe snacks and treats while traveling; this is especially important if you plan to travel overseas. Some foods may not include ingredients on the labels, which puts your child at risk of consuming an allergy trigger, such as dairy products, soy or nuts.

Always monitor your levels of stress. A lot of people don’t realize that stress can really affect the allergic responses their bodies feel. This is particularly the case for anyone suffering from asthma. The higher the stress level, the greater the susceptibility to an allergy attack. Relieving stress is not an automatic cure for asthma nor allergies, but cutting stress in your life can lower the frequency of such attacks.

This article should have provided you with a good foundation of knowledge, so you can now start applying the methods that will work for your particular allergy problems. Give some of the tips a try by integrating them into your routine. You can find relief and get on with your life.
