There are many types of allergies that people face, including allergies to foods. A food allergy is triggered when the immune system starts reacting to a compound in the food, most typically a protein. In addition to outright allergies, there are intolerances that may not involve the immune system at all. Common symptoms of a food allergy include bloating, headaches, hives or diarrhea. Severe reactions are a medical emergency and should be addressed by going to the emergency room. Anyone who has severe food allergies should have this information readily available and should also consider whether they need to keep an Epi-pen on hand for emergencies.
