Food allergies are some of the most common allergies in the world. It is important to test for food allergies if you think you may have any because their intensity can range from very mild to very severe. One option is a food allergy blood test, which is an extremely accurate test of what food allergens affect you. Milk causes one of the top food allergies today and people who have this allergy really need to watch what they eat because milk is included in so many different types of food. Dairy allergies can be very dangerous because if your throat closes up, it may be hard for you to breathe. Nut allergies are also very common and can be avoided simply by not eating foods with nuts in them. If you have a nut allergy it is important to be concious of foods that have come into contact with nut particles, for example, in restaurants where multiple dishes are made on the same surface. Yet another common problem is wheat allergies. There are many alternatives available for people who can’t eat wheat, such as rice flour, potato starch and tapioca starch.
There is no overall allergy cure, but there are many ways we can work around our allergies in order to still do the things we want to do in order to live life to the fullest. There are many common allergy remedies to make you feel better. One popular remedy is a saline solution (salt and water), which can help with your allergies if you irrigate your nose with it. You can also find saline solutions at your local drug store. Peppermint tea is a traditional remedy for nasal decongestion and is therefore another popular home remedy for allergies.
