Food allergies Is one of the medical mysteries that cannot find the answer to why human beings are allergic to food While some people do not lose any food But some people lost countless food The strange thing is that When we lived for many years until entering adolescence, working age or even old age, suddenly the food that we had eaten since small Can cause allergic reactions.
Food allergies Is a common condition In every period of life And is still growing about 20% of the global population over the past 10 years. According to a study report of the American Medical Association (JAMA) of the US population, 40,443 people indicate that about 10.8% of people in This group has food allergies. And almost half of these people have just had food allergies when they enter adulthood and 1 in 4 of this group have never experienced food allergies at all since childhood.
Cathryn Nagler, scientist And a professor from the University of Chicago, said: "Based on the rapid increase in the number of patients with food allergies Can specify that Is a food allergy that is not caused by genetics Because genetics can not change quickly. Must be relevant to the surrounding environment, of course, "she explained. Many scientists believe that The increase in food allergy patients May be related to the surrounding environment Because it is a factor that can change "Micro Bio" which is a bacteria that lives in our body
"The use of antibiotics wrongly And eating foods that have not enough fiber to meet the needs of the body Is an important factor that causes changes in the bacteria that live in our bodies Who is suspected of food allergies that occur at the time of growing up "
"Even though the antibiotics are constantly being eaten But how it still counts as medicine And can also be found in various foods And in the water more than we thought "
"In addition, eating low-fiber foods Until not enough to meet the needs of the body Is also another factor that has been continuously monitored for a long time. Especially in people who like fast food And processed foods with very little fiber content. "
Ahmad Hamad, an allergy specialist And immunologist From the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. "Microbiota (Microbes that are with us since birth) are important factors that cause changes in awareness. And eating resistant to food allergies As shown in the research of Dr. Cathryn Nagler "
However, food allergies do not arise from eating too much "food" as many people understand. Because no study report indicates this cause And also found that among many of these food allergy patients There is also a group that is considered to be a supply disorder that itself is a disease. (hypochondria) as well, such as symptoms that occur after eating one of the foods Most food allergies are caused by the response of the immune system. Or various infections In us that has food But in some cases, when eating and having other symptoms In addition to the body's response from the immune system, such as lactose intolerance in milk Symptoms that occur either indigestion or diarrhea Is not a symptom that comes from the retaliation of the immune system Like allergies to the beans that have been eaten, the mouth is swollen, the rash suffers, but the lactose intolerance is a symptom that occurs from the abnormalities of the body that cannot digest lactose (Can clearly identify the cause Unlike normal food allergies).
Avoid food allergies.
When food intolerance is not grown by genetics But may occur from the environment around us Including food Therefore, eating foods that are useful Exercise regularly have enough rest Is a way to help the body stay in perfect condition at all times Does not cause bacterial changes in the body like microbiomics until we suddenly Then reacted with one type of food later. However, the reason for the change of microbiomics was not yet clear. Until that day We should always take care of your health. And if having food allergies Should consult a doctor for treatment Because in some cases food allergies can be treated Or abatement according to the doctor's advice.
