What causes food allergies?
An allergic reaction occurs when the body overreacts to a specific substance. The body then sends out chemicals to defend against the substance.
It is possible to develop a food allergy to a food you have eaten for years with no problem. The reason for this is still unknown. According to the Food Standards Agency (FSA), around 2 million people in the UK suffer from food allergies.
Can you develop an allergy?
Yes, you can develop an allergy anytime, seasonal or food-related.
Some studies speculate that moving to a new location may trigger environmental allergens, or if you are exposed to allergens when the immune system is weakened, such as during pregnancy or illness. It may trigger food allergies. However, it is still unknown exactly why adults suddenly develop allergies.
You are most likely to develop adult-onset allergies in your twenties, thirties, and forties instead of later in life.
How many food allergens are there?
Under EU legislation, the UK classify 14 major food allergens. These listed allergens must be declared on all pre-packaged food in the UK:
Celery
Cereals containing gluten
Crustaceans
Eggs
Fish
Lupin
Milk
Molluscs
Mustard
Nuts
Peanuts
Sesame seeds
Soya
Sulphur dioxide (sometimes known as sulphites)
Do I have a food allergy or food intolerance?
It's common to believe that food allergy and intolerance are the same, but they involve different processes in the body.
A food allergy can cause a life-threatening condition called anaphylaxis. It is when released chemicals act on the blood vessels to cause swelling. Food allergies typically appear instantly and up to two hours after consumption.
On the other hand, food intolerance may take up to three days to show symptoms, making it problematic to identify the cause. Although not life-threatening, food intolerance can cause distressing symptoms, such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), migraines and headaches, skin issues, tiredness, and joint pain.
If you suspect you may have a food intolerance instead of an allergy, don't worry. We were named Food Intolerance Testing Company of the Year in 2018 and 2019, and we specialise in home-to-lab tests.
