Unfortunately there is no special treatment for the food allergy. Food allergies are often treated from several directions at the same time, such as eliminating allergens, strengthening the patient nutritionally, and modifying the patient's immune response.
The way that is generally used is the avoidance. If you have any food allergy you ought to omit all the products that contain the things you are allergic too. If a product doesn’t have a label saying what it is made of you are strongly advised not to take a risk and eat it. Even a very small and tiny peace of allergic product for you can threaten your health and even life. Your doctor will provide you with the list of harmful things for you. Sometimes allergy can be really severe and some patients can’t bear even that food which is not harmful but it was produced on the same factory as the harmful one. Avoiding things nowadays doesn’t seem a problem. The number of people who suffer from the food allergy is rather big and some food companies produce your favorite things substituting the allergic substances – everything from dairy-free mashed potatoes to wheat-free chocolate chunk cookies!
Food allergy is a very individual problem, and you know your body better than anyone else does. It may be difficult to take action because of your health, but if you want to get well, YOU must take responsibility for yourself. YOU must make the necessary changes in your lifestyle. YOU must become a well-informed, active participant in your own health care. Then YOU will be the one to enjoy the benefits of improved health.
 Medicine to cure food allergy is still to come. Taking into consideration the number people who suffer from this type of allergy we can hope to see the medication in the nearest future. Most patients especially youngster usually grow up their allergy, although peanuts, nuts, fish, and shellfish are often considered lifelong allergies. At present the best medication is epinephrine, also called "adrenaline". It can control a severe reaction. It is available by prescription as a self-injectable device. Antihistamines and bronchodilators can be used to treat less severe symptoms.
If you are likely to have the severe reaction you are to keep the epinephrine at hand in case the struck happens. This kind of epinephrine injection comes in an easy-to-carry container that looks like a pen. After receiving an epinephrine shot you will go to the hospital where you will under doctors’ control until they are sure the reaction is under control.
Although avoidance is the best and most safe treatment you are not advised to apply it on your decision. If you eliminate a product out of diet it is likely to become unbalanced and thus you can cause further health problems. The decisions connected with your allergy treatment should be done only on the advice with your doctor and it shouldn’t be your own decision.
