We also know that allergic tendencies run in families. It is thought that genetic variation leads to the production of IgE antibodies against harmless substances, such as peanuts/pollen. However, interestingly enough, we know that the environment also plays a role. One study showed that Southeast Asian children born in Australia were 1,400% more likely to develop food allergies compared to Southeast Asian children born in Singapore[iii].
Another study, called the LEAP study, showed that early guatemala whatsapp exposure to peanuts in infancy was associated with a lower risk of developing peanut allergies[iv]. It is also thought that a lack of gut bacterial diversity leads to more allergies, as gut bacteria are important in signaling immune cells not to react to harmless substances[v]. If you suspect you have a food allergy or intolerance, it is best to seek medical guidance rather than self-diagnose.
Good management can improve your quality of life and help prevent potentially serious health problems. Each person's reaction to food can be unique, and personalized medical advice is the best course of action. To book an appointment please use our online booking website or call 0207 245 933
