Question by Anne: Is there any kind of aid or relief for a family with anaphylactic food allergies?
Best answer:
Answer by tessasmomy
The only way to “treat” a food allergy is to practice complete and total avoidance of the food (s). If the family has children they can join www.kidswithfoodallergies.org and talk with other parents.
Food allergies are covered under the Americans with Disablities Act. If the parents have allergies and it is affecting them at work they can ask for changes. I believe food allergies are in Title (Section) 2.

Asthma Relief – Asthma And Allergies Can Be Caused By A Low Immune System
Many people who suffer from asthma and allergies don’t realize it, but a low immune system is very likely at the root of their allergies and asthma. Medical experts agree that a lowered or improperly functioning immune system can and does result in several diseases such as asthma, allergies, arthritis, psoriasis, lupus, chronic fatigue syndrome and cancer to name just a few. There are ways to strengthen your immune system, which will help to give you some asthma relief or significantly decrease your allergy and asthma symptoms and asthma attacks.
If you suffer from a low immune system it is important to avoid things that suppress or act to destroy it, such as a high cholesterol diet, heavy metals (lead, mercury, cadmium), fat, alcohol, fried foods, food additives, obesity, industrial pollutants, pesticides, herbicides, stress, prescription drugs including antibiotics, asthma and allergy drugs, too much sunlight, tobacco and radiation.

The ABCs of Food Allergies
Approximately 8% of children and 2% of adults suffer from true food allergies. When the culprit food is eaten, most allergic reactions will occur within minutes. Skin symptoms (itching, urticaria, angioedema) are the most common, and occur during most food reactions. Other symptoms can include nasal (sneezing, runny nose, itchy nose and eyes), gastrointestinal (nausea, vomiting, cramping, diarrhea), lung (shortness of breath, wheezing, coughing, chest tightness), and vascular (low blood pressure, light-headedness, rapid heart beat) symptoms. When severe, this reaction is called anaphylaxis, and can be life threatening.
