Allergy Triggers:
As Many Triggers
As Sensitive People

The terminology allergy triggers can confuse a lot of people because they are commonly told newborns and infants will show sensitivities to dairy, egg and soy. Adults though tend to be sensitive to peanuts, fish (cod, trout, bass etc.), shellfish (crabs, clams, lobster, shrimp etc.) and tree nuts. But the reality is anyone can be sensitive to anything or any group of things. Every person's set of triggers can be as different as the group of symptoms manifested during their reaction. This is part of the reason, diagnosis of an allergy can often be very difficult to narrow down.

Common Allergy Triggers During Infancy

Newborns and infants do have a definite advantage in the field of food allergies. The three most common during these years are dairy, egg and soy. But as a child's digestive system matures with age, often all of these your child will outgrow. Usually if your child does show a sensitivity to anything else, unfortunately this will usually be a life-long allergy.

Common Pre-Teen To Adult Occurences

One of the unusual attributes of a food allergy is that you can eat any given food for years, maybe even decades, and then all of the sudden you can show signs of a sensitivity. Why your immune system will instantly show an allergic reaction to what has been a common selection in your diet is still a mystery to research.

Therefore it is rare, but entirely possible, the new "offending food" can become a safe alternative again at a future date. Work very closely with your doctor or allergist to confirm any changes you can possibly make to your diet.

Although the term common allergy triggers can be deceiving, treatment programs in both conventional medicine and alternative medicine are available to reduce the severity of the symptoms and often to reduce the frequency of a reaction by management and control. A full life often is available without the constant worry and dread which is often common with many very serious conditions.
