Sweet allergy
Sweet allergy most often manifested in children. But sometimes adults suffer from this unpleasant disease, because of which you have to completely exclude from the diet your favorite foods: chocolate, candy and honey.
In the world there is a very large number of various allergens: food, medicinal and non-food. From drug allergens fenced offas easy as pie. It is enough only to find out what component of the drug the allergy starts and tell the treating doctor about it. All prescription medications will not contain an allergen. From non-food allergens to protect fairly difficult, especially if it is dust or pollen of plants. Food allergens cause people the greatest number of problems. You have to carefully read the composition of the product to exclude the presence of an allergen.
Allergy to the sweet sometimes gives us a lot of trouble, because you want to pamper yourself with sweeties anddelicious food. But unfortunately, it sometimes becomes impossible. As a result, a person becomes irritable and tired, because the brain lacks glucose. But where do you get it from, if it's not sweet?
It turns out that allergy to sugar, in principle, does not exist. After all, this product consists entirely of carbohydratesucrose - a natural product that can not cause allergies. Hence, the cause of the allergy to the sweet is to be found in other components of the product. And most often it becomes a protein of animal origin. Here it is something much harder to define. But the fact remains that because of sucrose, the already existing allergic reaction really does increase.
Undigested food remains start to ferment, and this process is promoted by sucrose. These fermentation products are absorbed into the blood, themost intensifying the existing allergy to another protein. Therefore, the allergy to sweet can be caused by eating not only chocolate or cake, but also syrup or even fruits, which also have sucrose.
Allergy to honey is manifested due to the fact that this product contains pollen components. Therefore, to begin with, we should assume that ya person is allergic to plant pollen, not honey. It is known that honey has a positive effect on the state of the immune system, so when other types of allergies in folk medicine are advised to use this product as a medicine. But it may be that the components of honey can also increase the manifestation of allergies.
Allergies most often affect children. Adults are susceptible to this disease muchless often. Therefore, there is an opinion that with age, the allergy to the sweet passes. But it is not so. Initially, with age, the list of products that cause an allergic reaction in children narrows. So, the allergy to citrus, chocolate, strawberries soon passes. But here the allergy to peanuts, fish and seafood will remain forever. And again, the same vegetable or animal protein is to blame, with which a certain type of white blood cells is struggling.
It turns out that very often people confuse the manifestation of an allergy to the sweet with food intolerance to certain foods. So, redness and itching can not be caused byonly an allergen, but also an inability of the body to tolerate cold, heat or mechanical skin irritation. Also most often mums confuse cow allergies in milk in children with a banal intolerance to this product. Therefore, indigestion can not be called an allergy. Also, do not forget about the absence of enzymes in the human body, which digest this or that food (remember the usual bloating for all after taking dishes from peas or beans).
Allergy to Sweet: Symptoms
In order not to confuse an allergy to sweet foods with intolerance to foods, you should know all the symptoms of its manifestation. Most often this redness, itching in the face, neck, hands and feet. Diathesis in children is also a symptom of an allergy tosweet. Dermatitis and other skin diseases can also be attributed to the symptoms of allergy. But these are all instant reactions that can be distinguished by every adult.
There are delayed reactions of the body to the allergen. In this case, only after a while, you can see acute reactions that will require immediate medical intervention. It can be Choking, angioedema or anaphylactic shock.
Unfortunately, there are no ways to combat allergies. Immunologists together with allergologists canprescribe a course of suppression of an allergic reaction. That will lead only to the fact that the sensitivity of the organism to the allergen will be lowered. But this in no way will help completely cure allergies.
