If you have a food allergy, you need to be prepared to treat a severe allergic reaction should one occur. The treatment for a severe allergic reaction, or <a href=\"\/anaphylaxis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>anaphylaxis<\/strong><\/a>, is epinephrine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your allergist may recommend food allergy oral immunotherapy (OIT). This is a specialized treatment that can help your body build tolerance to your food allergen. This makes it less likely an allergic reaction will occur due to an accidental ingestion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An FDA-approved oral immunotherapy treatment for peanut allergy is available. It is called Palforzia\u2122. Many allergists now also offer office-based oral immunotherapy for peanut and other food allergens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A biologic medication is available as a food allergy therapy. FDA has approved omalizumab (Xolair\u00ae) for people with food allergies. It helps them to tolerate an accidental exposure to a food allergen. It also reduces the risk of an allergic reaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"How to Know if Symptoms are Asthma or Anaphylaxis with Angela Hogan, MD\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0njikrFptmo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the first-line treatment for a severe food allergy reaction?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/allergyasthmanetwork.org\/anaphylaxis\/what-is-epinephrine\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Epinephrine<\/strong><\/a> is the first-line treatment for a severe or life-threatening allergic reaction, or anaphylaxis. In most cases, symptoms of anaphylaxis involve two or more body organs (skin, respiratory system, digestive system, heart).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have severe food allergies, it&#8217;s best to carry epinephrine with you. If you experience anaphylaxis symptoms, administer epinephrine right away. Don&#8217;t try to wait it out. Administer epinephrine <em>first <\/em>and <em>fast<\/em>. The medication may not be effective if you wait too long to use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you carry two doses of epinephrine with you at all times, as sometimes symptoms can return after the first dose. Know when and how to administer epinephrine. Make sure the medication is not expired. Get refills if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your anaphylaxis symptoms go away after one dose of epinephrine and you feel better, you may not need to seek emergency medical care. However, if you have severe anaphylaxis, if symptoms do not go away promptly or completely, or if symptoms return or worsen, you should take a second dose of epinephrine and seek emergency medical care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What if your symptoms are mild? Do you need to use epinephrine then? No. You should administer epinephrine if symptoms involve two or more body organs and are severe or worsening. For symptoms that are mild and involve just one body organ, such as an itchy mouth (oral allergy syndrome) or a runny nose, your doctor may recommend an antihistamine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you next meet with your doctor, make sure to discuss your treatment plan and review <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.niaid.nih.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/faguidelinespatient.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>food allergy treatment guidelines<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image1432_6f55c3-31 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image1432_6f55c3-31\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"567\" src=\"https:\/\/allergyasthmanetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Doctor-with-young-patient-1080x567.jpg\" alt=\"Doctor standing up facing a mom and her tween child.

It starts with giving a tiny amount of the food allergen, then gradually larger amounts until a target dose is reached. This helps desensitize the patient should they have an accidental exposure to their allergen triggers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Food allergy OIT should only be done in a medical setting such as an allergist\u2019s office. Do NOT attempt oral immunotherapy on your own. It involves having the food allergic person eat increasing amounts of their allergen. This starts in very small amounts and gradually increasing over a period of months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only FDA-approved oral immunotherapy is for <a href=\"\/food-allergies\/peanut-allergy-treatment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>peanut allergy<\/strong><\/a>. It is called Palforzia\u2122. This treatment is for children ages 1-17. It is not meant to cure peanut allergies. Rather, it is to help reduce the frequency and severity of peanut allergy symptoms in case of an accidental exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What about immunotherapy for cow\u2019s milk allergy, egg allergy, or other food allergens? Researchers are studying immunotherapy for these allergens. But there are no FDA-approved options at this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Allergists who specialize in food allergy may offer an office-based oral immunotherapy treatment. These may treat peanut and other types of food allergens. These are not FDA-approved, however. While office-based immunotherapy is not FDA approved, many people with food allergies have successfully been desensitized to their food allergen(s) through this approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Researchers are also studying oral immunotherapy to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nih.gov\/news-events\/news-releases\/clinical-trial-evaluate-experimental-treatment-people-allergic-multiple-foods\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><strong>treat people with multiple food allergies<\/strong><\/a> using biologic medications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is biologic therapy for food allergy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In February 2024,<a href=\"\/news\/omalizumab-and-oral-immunotherapy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> <strong>FDA approved omalizumab (Xolair\u00ae) as a food allergy therapy<\/strong><\/a>. The biologic medication targets and blocks the Immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibody. IgE is a driver of food-allergic reactions. Reducing IgE levels keeps the body from reacting to an allergen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Xolair is an added layer of protection against an allergic reaction. It allows people with food allergies to tolerate an accidental exposure to a food allergen. It also reduces the risk of an allergic reaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Xolair is approved for adults and children ages 1 year and older with food allergy. It is taken as an injection every 2-4 weeks. Patients can receive the injection in a healthcare setting. They can also self-inject it at home if approved by their healthcare provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to remember that Xolair is not a food allergy cure. People taking the medication as a food allergy therapy must continue to avoid their food allergen(s). They should also continue to carry and use epinephrine in case of a severe allergic reaction.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column1432_b8139e-e2 >

what you can eat. Severe allergic reactions can be severe and life-threatening. Food allergy is serious, and it is important to take an active role in managing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do you prevent an allergic reaction?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can prevent food allergies by avoiding your known food allergen(s). The first thing you need to do is know which food(s) cause an allergic reaction. When you understand what foods to avoid and how to identify them on food labels, you take a step forward in managing your food allergy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep track of your symptoms. Write down in a diary what meals you ate and whether foods caused any allergy symptoms. If you experience allergy symptoms to a food, make an appointment with a board-certified allergist for testing. Food allergy testing may include a skin prick test, blood test or an oral food challenge. Your allergist will diagnose food allergy based on the test results, your symptoms, and your medical history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you know your trigger food(s), develop a plan to avoid those foods. Sometimes, even with your best efforts, you may have an accidental exposure to your food allergen. If you\u2019re at risk for a severe allergic reaction, you will need to treat it with epinephrine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Foods to avoid<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Nine foods account for 90% of all food allergies. These are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>cow\u2019s milk<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>eggs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>peanuts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>tree nuts (almonds, cashews, pistachios, pecans, walnut, hazelnut, etc.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>wheat<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>soy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>fish (includes bass, trout, cod, salmon)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>shellfish (lobster, shrimp, crab)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>sesame<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re allergic to a food, it\u2019s important to know what types of foods contain your allergen. Learn ingredients and check food product labels to ensure you avoid your food allergen.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image1432_5db19d-31 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image1432_5db19d-31\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"567\" src=\"https:\/\/allergyasthmanetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/woman-reading-food-label-for-allergens-1-1080x567.jpg\" alt=\"Woman standing in the aisle of the supermarket, reading the food label on a pre-made sandwich.

These are milk, egg, wheat, soy, peanut, tree nut, fish, crustacean shellfish and sesame. Food manufacturers must list allergens in clear, plain language. The listing must be part of the ingredients and in a \u201cContains\u201d statement placed immediately after the ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The law applies to any food flavoring, spice, food coloring or processing aid that contains a Top 9 allergen. The law does not apply to meat or poultry and gluten-containing grains other than wheat. Molluscan shellfish such as clams, oysters, mussels and scallops are not considered a major food allergen under the law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Food manufacturers are not required to list highly refined peanut, tree nut or soy oils. The processing of these products separates the allergen protein from the oil. So they are considered safe.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image1432_22e94b-1c .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image1432_22e94b-1c\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"567\" src=\"https:\/\/allergyasthmanetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Food-ingredients-label-1080x567.jpg\" alt=\"Closeup photo of a food ingredient label, showing potential allergens in bold.\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-1204\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/allergyasthmanetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Food-ingredients-label-1080x567.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/allergyasthmanetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Food-ingredients-label-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/allergyasthmanetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Food-ingredients-label-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/allergyasthmanetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Food-ingredients-label.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Some tips for reading food labels:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Check food labels when shopping for groceries. First, look for the \u201cContains\u201d statement on the food label. If your allergen is listed, put the product back on the shelf.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If there\u2019s no \u201cContains\u201d statement on the food label, check the ingredients list to see if your allergen is present. If it is, put the product back on the shelf.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make sure you know all your food allergens and the different ways they may be listed. Ingredients derived from common food allergens can be listed under many different names.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid foods with advisory statements on allergens, such as \u201cMay contain\u2026\u201d or \u201cProduced in a facility that\u2026\u201d or \u201cManufactured on shared equipment\u2026\u201d This means there\u2019s a chance your food allergen is present in the product.

Cross-contact could occur from dipping a knife in the jelly jar after using it to spread peanut butter. Or it could happen after using the same grill or pan to cook a hamburger after it was just used to cook shellfish. Or cross-contact might happen after chopping almonds on a cutting board and then slicing a tomato.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some tips to avoid cross-contact:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Wash hands in soap and water before preparing a meal. Commercial hand wipes are also effective; studies show hand sanitizers are not.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wash cutting boards, dishes, pots, pans and countertops thoroughly with hot, soapy water after preparing food items.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cook the allergen-safe meal first to minimize risk.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Designate a separate shelf in the refrigerator and cupboard for allergen-safe foods. Use stickers to identify them as \u201callergen safe.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>At restaurants, ask that your food be prepared in a separate cooking area with clean and separate pans and utensils. This includes deep fryers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Never share food, utensils or drinks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid buffets or cafeterias, which have a greater risk of cross-contact due to shared utensils and spilled foods.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Anaphylaxis Emergency Action Plan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An important part of managing food allergies is to have an emergency treatment plan in place. An Anaphylaxis Emergency Action Plan is a written care plan outlining treatment for a severe or life-threatening allergic reaction. The action plan should include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Your name and age<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your allergies or trigger food<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Emergency medications and instructions for using them<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Directions to call 911<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Emergency contacts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Carry the action plan with you at all times so you and others know what to do in case of anaphylaxis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aaaai.org\/Aaaai\/media\/Media-Library-PDFs\/Tools%20for%20the%20Public\/Allergy,%20Asthma,%20Immunology%20Glossary\/Anaphylaxis-Emergency-Action-Plan.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><strong>Emergency action plan for adults \u2013 AAAAI (PDF)<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/allergyasthmanetwork.org\/images\/Anaphylaxis\/AAP-anaphylaxis-action-Plan.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/allergyasthmanetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/AAP_Allergy_and_Anaphylaxis_Emergency_Plan.pdf\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Emergency action plan for children \u2013 AAP (PDF)<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foodallergy.org\/resources\/emergency-care-plan-english\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><strong>Food allergy &amp; anaphylaxis emergency care plan in English \u2013 FARE (PDF)<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foodallergy.org\/resources\/emergency-care-plan-spanish\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><strong>Food allergy &amp; anaphylaxis emergency care plan in Spanish \u2013 FARE (PDF)<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image1432_a6b056-a4 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image1432_a6b056-a4\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"635\" src=\"https:\/\/allergyasthmanetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Doctor-patient-guidelines.jpg\" alt=\"Doctor and patient discussing something while sitting at the table .

Food allergy is more common in children ages 12-17 than younger children. Black, non-Hispanic children are more likely to have food allergies than non-Hispanic White and Hispanic children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recognizing food allergy symptoms in young children<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Babies and young children are unable to communicate their food allergy symptoms. So it\u2019s important that parents and caregivers know what symptoms to watch for so they can identify a food allergy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Symptoms of food allergy in infants and young children include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Difficulty breathing, coughing or wheezing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Difficulty swallowing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Itchy hives on the skin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Swelling on lips, tongue or mouth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nausea or vomiting<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cramping or diarrhea<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In severe cases, a drop in blood pressure<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Young children may also become very tired or lethargic due to a food allergy. Some may become very irritable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you notice any of these symptoms in your child, seek medical care right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also important to note that severe eczema is a risk factor for peanut allergy in children. If your baby or young child has severe eczema, talk with a board-certified allergist about food allergy testing.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column1432_a203e3-68 > .kt-inside-inner-col{padding-top:54px;padding-bottom:34px;}.kadence-column1432_a203e3-68 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column1432_a203e3-68 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column1432_a203e3-68 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column1432_a203e3-68 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column1432_a203e3-68 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column1432_a203e3-68 > .kt-inside-inner-col{background-color:#f8f7f3;}.kadence-column1432_a203e3-68 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column1432_a203e3-68{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column1432_a203e3-68 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column1432_a203e3-68 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column1432_a203e3-68\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><style>.kadence-column1432_3d5100-13{max-width:800px;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;}.wp-block-kadence-column.kb-section-dir-horizontal:not(.kb-section-md-dir-vertical)>.kt-inside-inner-col>.kadence-column1432_3d5100-13{-webkit-flex:0 1 800px;flex:0 1 800px;max-width:unset;margin-left:unset;margin-right:unset;}.kadence-column1432_3d5100-13 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column1432_3d5100-13 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column1432_3d5100-13 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column1432_3d5100-13 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column1432_3d5100-13 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column1432_3d5100-13 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column1432_3d5100-13{position:relative;}@media all and (min-width: 1025px){.wp-block-kadence-column.kb-section-dir-horizontal>.kt-inside-inner-col>.kadence-column1432_3d5100-13{-webkit-flex:0 1 800px;flex:0 1 800px;max-width:unset;margin-left:unset;margin-right:unset;}}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column1432_3d5100-13 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.wp-block-kadence-column.kb-section-sm-dir-vertical:not(.kb-section-sm-dir-horizontal):not(.kb-section-sm-dir-specificity)>.kt-inside-inner-col>.kadence-column1432_3d5100-13{max-width:800px;-webkit-flex:1;flex:1;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;}.kadence-column1432_3d5100-13 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column1432_3d5100-13\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Eczema and Food Allergy Testing for Children with Priya Bansal, MD\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uKtO7dQOkNc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common food allergies in children<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Eggs, cow\u2019s milk and peanuts are the most common food allergies in children. Wheat allergy, soy allergy and tree nut allergy are also common.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For many years, doctors recommended parents wait before introducing common food allergens foods to babies and infants.

This is especially the case if the child has severe eczema. The baby should first see an allergist for allergy testing. This will help determine if peanut can be safely introduced, and if it needs to be done in a doctor\u2019s office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Important: Parents of children at risk for food allergy should not introduce that food into their child\u2019s diet without first consulting an allergist who can closely supervise and monitor the results.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image1432_ded093-19 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image1432_ded093-19\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/allergyasthmanetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Woman-allergic-to-peanuts.jpg\" alt=\"a woman with peanut allergy rejecting a bowl of peanuts\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-1207\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/allergyasthmanetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Woman-allergic-to-peanuts.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/allergyasthmanetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Woman-allergic-to-peanuts-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/allergyasthmanetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Woman-allergic-to-peanuts-1080x567.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/allergyasthmanetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Woman-allergic-to-peanuts-768x403.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Managing food allergies in adults<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Approximately 20 million adults live with food allergy in the United States.

If you live with a food allergy, you may feel anxiety attending these social occasions. Here are some tips to help you feel safe:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Offer to host events yourself and limit the amount of food brought from others in attendance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make sure your family, friends and colleagues are aware of your food allergy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bring one or two allergy-safe dishes that you prepared yourself.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Carry a <a href=\"\/news\/the-importance-chef-cards\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>chef\u2019s card<\/strong><\/a> with you when dining out.

A new food allergy diagnosis may require a complete clean-out of your pantry and refrigerator to get rid of foods containing your allergens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, moving forward, it\u2019s very important to review each and every label of foods you bring home. If a food contains your allergen, don\u2019t buy it at the grocery store and don\u2019t eat it at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you share a home with others, you may be exposed to your allergen through foods they eat. Prepare allergen-safe foods in a dedicated location to avoid cross contact. Use a special cutting board or dedicated utensils just for you. And always wash surfaces and utensils thoroughly with water.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-pane kt-accordion-pane kt-accordion-pane-5 kt-pane1432_271826-d2\"><h3 class=\"kt-accordion-header-wrap\"><button class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-header kt-acccordion-button-label-show\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-title-wrap\"><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-title\">What is the best treatment for a food allergy reaction?<\/span><\/span><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-icon-trigger\"><\/span><\/button><\/h3><div class=\"kt-accordion-panel kt-accordion-panel-hidden\"><div class=\"kt-accordion-panel-inner\">\n<p>The best treatment for a severe food-allergic reaction is epinephrine.

Any delay in treatment could make epinephrine less effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your anaphylaxis symptoms go away and you feel better, you may not need further medical care. However, you should consider a second dose of epinephrine and seek emergency medical treatment if you have severe anaphylaxis, if symptoms do not go away promptly or completely, or if symptoms return or worsen. That&#8217;s why it is important to always carry two doses of epinephrine with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a mild food-allergic reaction, your doctor may advise that you take an antihistamine. But remember, mild symptoms can turn severe anytime after exposure.
