A to Z Guide to the Foods that Contain Your Food Allergies
Charts of common food allergies and foods that they can be found in:
Once of the most common problems, I find in the office is that a patient has eaten a food allergy or sensitivity. As I've said before, the most common food allergies that I have found in practice are Wheat, Corn, Dairy, Soy, sometimes Egg's or Nightshade Vegetables. The problem is that even if you are doing a great job sometimes they allergies are buried in the list of ingredients and you may not recognize them as allergens. So, if you are experiencing food allergies and are working toward altering your eating habits to avoid unpleasant and unhealthy symptoms due to food sensitivities, here is a list of foods that may be adding to your allergic reactions, even if you think you're doing a great job of avoiding the allergies. And first and foremost, be a label reader! This is due to the fact that two different brands of the same product may contain entirely different ingredients, quite possibly derived from entirely different sources.
