Food allergy is a disease caused by the body’s immune response to certain ingredients in food. Often people think they are allergic to a certain food, but in fact they are just intolerant to that food. This should be an adverse reaction to a certain food, not a food allergy.
Because the symptoms of food intolerances are similar to those of some food allergies, people often confuse the two. The essential difference between these good general diseases is that the former does not require the involvement of the immune system. Food allergies are rare and only occur in children and even less commonly in adults.
Symptoms and conventional treatments for food allergies
Like other allergic reactions, food allergies are caused by the immune system attacking harmless substances as harmful substances and releasing histamine caused. Theoretically, any food can trigger an allergic reaction. But in fact, up to 90% of food allergies are caused by the following eight food categories: dairy products, eggs, wheat, soybeans, peanuts, tree nuts (almonds, cashews, etc.), fish, and shellfish.
Currently, the method to prevent and treat food allergies is very simple: don’t eat any food that can cause allergies. Although this prevention method sounds very simple, it is not easy to implement. Cutting out your favorite foods is a huge challenge in itself, not to mention avoiding certain allergens that are hard to spot. For example, who would have thought that for a person with a milk allergy, it would be difficult to avoid even chocolate containing trace amounts of peanuts, which may have been left in the machine when making other candies. People who are highly allergic to peanuts can also develop allergic reactions if they eat this chocolate.
If you eat foods that can cause allergies, symptoms such as itchy skin and edema of the lips, tongue and throat will soon occur. There are also some symptoms that occur later, such as runny nose, shortness of breath, dizziness, rash, facial flushing, etc. Some patients may also experience symptoms such as diarrhea or vomiting. These relatively mild symptoms can be treated with antihistamines, and topical medications can be applied to the affected area if necessary. However, these often cannot solve the underlying problem of allergies and only relieve allergic symptoms. Long-term use of topical hormone ointments can Can cause hormone-dependent dermatitis, affecting children's skin damage.
Probiotics and Food Allergy
Many animal experiments have shown that food supplements added with probiotics can significantly reduce the body's allergic reaction to food. Finnish scientists selected 27 babies with atopic eczema as research subjects. After these children drank milk, the symptoms of eczema would worsen. None of the infants received milk during the study. The researchers randomly selected 13 infants and asked them to eat foods containing probiotics every day, while the other 14 infants ate foods that did not contain probiotics. The researchers used the same scoring criteria to assess the severity of the infants' eczema before and after the experiment. After one month, those babies who received the probiotics had less eczema symptoms than those in the control group. The results of this study were published in 1997 in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.
Important analysis of anti-allergic probiotic therapy for allergic constitution
There are 2,000-3,000 common antigenic substances that cause allergic reactions, and nearly 20,000 are recorded in medical literature. Currently, 22-25% of people in the world suffer from allergic diseases (urticaria, eczema, food allergies), of which children are the largest number. In addition, if parents suffer from allergic diseases without effective treatment, their children will suffer from allergic diseases due to genetics. The probability is high. With the development of science and technology and the research and development of probiotics, various probiotics have become popular all over the world. At the same time, the research on probiotics has become a hot research topic internationally.
In the research on the treatment of allergic diseases in the world, in 2000, an important achievement in the field of allergic diseases was proposed: probiotic auxiliary therapy. Even the World Health Organization (WHO) pointed out in its guiding opinions on the treatment of allergic diseases: Probiotic auxiliary therapy is currently the safest and most effective health therapy that can radically cure allergic constitutions.
The therapeutic effect of Kangminyuan’s anti-allergic probiotics on food allergies
The patented strain of Kangminyuan’s probiotics, Lactobacillus salivarius, comes into contact with a special type of cells in the intestines , activates a series of reactions of cells, producing a series of physiological reactions, which can ultimately reduce the antibody-immunoglobulin IgE in human blood, regulate allergic constitution from the root, enhance immunity, and completely treat allergic diseases.
