Food allergies are reactions that occur when the immune system mistakenly perceives a normally harmless food as harmful.

Food allergies seen in childhood sometimes disappear spontaneously during the development process, and sometimes they may persist into adulthood.

Children suspected of developing food allergies should be examined by a specialist immediately. If left untreated, food allergies can cause many problems , from shortness of breath to nausea, vomiting to itchy skin , and in advanced cases can even lead to life-threatening risks.

Food allergies can affect people’s lives starting from infancy, childhood and even in the womb. In order to develop symptoms of this problem, the patient needs to be sensitized to the allergenic food several times.
