The Most Common Food Allergies
* Milk *
Being allergic to cow’s milk isn’t the same as being lactose intolerant.
* Eggs *
You can be allergic to either the whites of the yolk. This type of food allergy is more prevalent in children, but does affect some adults.
* Peanut *
Most people, adults and children with food allergies, are allergic to peanuts too.
* Tree nut *
More children have nut allergies than adults. The symptoms of nut and peanut allergies are the same, but being allergic to one doesn’t necessarily mean you’re allergic to the other.
* Seafood *
This is more common in, but not limited, to children. The fish allergens can be passed through the air by people eating or cooking fish near you.
* Shellfish *
Similar to seafood allergies. But having one doesn’t mean being allergic to the other.
* Soy *
People allergic to soy need to be especially careful when eating Asian foods or using Asian sauces.
* Wheat *
This is most commonly a food allergy, but can also be a respiratory contact allergy.
In the United States these are referred to as “the big eight”. Over 90% of U.S. food allergies consist of these foods.
Allergens differ in other countries, but these 8 make the top 10 in many places through out the world.
Food allergies may be based on contact. In East Asia where rice makes up a large part of the diet, rice allergies are more common, as are celery allergies in Central Europe.
