It would appear that the constant rise of food allergy sufferers may not actually be that bad. According to a WJZ.com most "allergies" have been based on just
one test, either a blood test or a skin test, when in fact a wider picture should be considered. Such tests are very
sensitive and should be compared to what the patient finds when they eat a particular food.
So the burden should be on the sufferer - they should make full notes on what they are eating and the type of
reaction they suffer. This info should then be used by the Doctor who pools all the data together to make the
correct diagnosis. It's very rare for a person to be allergic to more than two or three different foods.
Most allergies revolve around fish, shellfish, nuts, peanuts,
tree nuts, eggs, wheat, soy, and milk. Many people especially children, outgrow food allergies. About five
percent of kids have food allergies but only two percent of adults. So the Doctor needs to look at the
results over a long time period so they can see if things are evolving. There is also a distinct difference
between sensitivities to food with actual allergies. Knowing what the symptoms of
allergies are is important to distinguish between them.

"not bad" is very subjective. just talk to some allergy sufferers, especially moms of young children. also imagine an adult who ate eggs and drank milk all his life and at 40+ is now told he has to stop consuming these things because of allergies. i also don't agree that the burden should be on the sufferer -- yes, we have to take responsibility for our bodies and what we put in it, but with the rise in allergies and asthma, i want to know that other people, not just those of us who are affected by these conditions, are concerned and are willing to understand and do something about it.
