Do you suffer with Allergies & Intolerances?
Allergy
An allergy is a hypersensitive immune response to substances that come into contact with the body. Substances can vary from ingested foods to air pollutions and chemicals that come into contact with the body. Allergies are usually developed within infancy and effect 2% of adults and 6-8% of children
Common causes of an allergy tend to be food and chemical. Reactions range from mild discomforts such as rashes and an upset stomach to breathing difficulties and swelling of muscles. Allergies can be deadly!
The best way to manage allergies is to avoid the allergen in the first instance, however, if you are unsure what causes your allergic reaction that can be very hard to achieve.
Intolerance
An intollerance can form at any age, with over 45% of the populaton suffering with food intolerances of some sort.
Symptoms of an intolerance include bloating, joint pain, IBS, headaches and, tiredness.
Intolerances are not deadly they can be uncomfortable to live with but with knowledge of what causes this uncomfort they can be manageable.
