Be aware that not enough just to delete the food, you need to replenish nutrients.
"Other substances such as preservatives, flavor enhancers, colors used by the food industry, may be related intolerance."
Adverse reactions caused by food may be related to food intake or some additive used in the manufacturing process. When these manifestations are related to a substance ingested (food contaminated by bacterial toxin), called toxic reactions.
But there are those called non-toxic reactions that depend on the susceptibility of each person and can be classified into:
Not immune mediated: food intolerance.
Mediated immune: cases of food hypersensitivity or food allergy.
But what are immune mediated reactions?
The immune system (defense) the body reacts to certain foods as if they were hazardous substances. To defend those substances, immune cells produce molecules called "antibodies" (defense soldiers). Unfortunately, this reaction stimulates other cells to release a substance called "histamine," which is responsible for the allergy symptoms.
"Eliminating without adequate replacement cow's milk can harm the nutritional status of children and normal growth throughout the elimination diet period."
In Food Intolerance occur manifestations that are caused by food, but does not involve the defense system (immune system). The most common is intolerance to milk which is caused by the absence or insufficient production of lactase enzyme responsible for the digestion of sugar present in milk (lactose). Despite having different causes, symptoms present in food intolerance are similar to food allergy. Other substances such as preservatives, flavor enhancers, colors used by the food industry, may be related intolerance.
Food hypersensitivity or allergy is a term used to describe adverse reactions to food, dependent immune mechanisms.
Allergy to cow's milk (CMPA), which is the most common, occurs mainly in the first three years of life due to physiological immaturity of the digestive and immune apparatus of the child during this period. Apart from cow's milk other foods such as eggs, wheat, corn and soybeans can manifest themselves, but usually disappear in childhood, unlike allergies to peanuts, tree nuts and seafood that can be more lasting and sometimes lifelong.
The treatment is based on complete exclusion diet of the cow and milk derivatives, or significant sources of nutrients such as calcium. Eliminating without adequate replacement cow's milk can harm the nutritional status of children and normal growth throughout the elimination diet period.
Symptoms common to both situations involve the respiratory tract, the skin and digestive system, food intolerance but often causes headaches and joint pain, fatigue, and general malaise.
