Gluten intolerance causes havoc with the digestive system and without proper care and attention can lead to Celiac Disease, a life-long allergy to gluten. However, there are ways to continue to enjoy regular meals and dishes without having to forego eating breads and other delights. This is done by substituting gluten rich foods with those containing little or no gluten. In the case of those with gluten intolerance, it is easier to remove these foods and eventually overcome the intolerance than it is for those who have the full blown gluten type allergy. This means first removing all obvious gluten foods from a patient’s diet, followed by less obvious sources.

Food allergy test
When a person finally realizes that they are reacting to a food and might have a food allergy, testing is the next vital step. If the reactions were severe, the chances are that the hospital involved will either order the tests or send information to the patient’s doctor stressing the need for food allergy testing. In fact, there are three common ways to test for food allergies, though two other ones give a clearer picture to an allergy specialist. These include a medical history assessment, scratch tests, bent tests, diet elimination tests and oral type challenge tests.

Gluten intolerance overview
Gluten intolerance is also called gluten sensitivity. It is not just one specific illness, but a series of conditions where a person has a reaction, not necessarily sufficient enough to call it an allergy. However, the intolerance is sufficient to cause damage over time to the intestines, even affecting the chemistry of the blood. In some people, with autoimmune diseases, this intolerance can make them harder to treat and in others, show the opposite effect. Each person is definitely affected differently, but very few people are aware that they have an intolerance at all. Some notice subtle changes – their pants do not fit as well as they used to. They put it down to getting older. They feel intense fatigue, as well as more headaches, but put it down to insufficient rest and too much stress. Some try diet after diet to find that their belly fat just will not budge. Overall, each one of them feels unwell, though they never consider the fact that they might be suffering from gluten intolerance.
Mold allergy
A mold allergy happens when a person breathes in varied spores of mold and their immune system reacts, triggering varied reactions. In fact, such allergies are more than likely to occur if the weather has been damp or wet and things have not dried out. It is also possible to breathe in mold spores when growing plants inside, especially if the plants are over-watered and mold begins to grow on the surface. This not only kills the plants eventually, but can cause pneumonia in some people.

Food allergies symptoms
When a person has an allergic attack to food, their bodies are pumping out antibodies to kill off what their immune system believes is a bad invader, ranked equally to that of a toxin, bacteria or virus. Their body reacts further by releasing histamines which cause a number of noticeable symptoms, some of which can be life-threatening. However, not everyone develops food allergies at a young age, as some appear later in life. Some people may have no idea that they are having a reaction and live with mild symptoms for years. Others might be so ill that without emergency care, they could die. Therefore, everyone who has symptoms of food allergies should consult with their doctors for testing, and if those symptoms are severe, get to an emergency room ASAP. However, not everyone gets all of the symptoms with the same severity.

Normally, the immune system works to defend the body against possibly harmful types of substances, toxins, viruses and bacteria. However, some people have defence reactions against certain foods, causing the body to produce immunoglobulin type antibodies to fight off the alleged invader. Though many have intolerances towards foods, food type allergies are not as common. In fact, a genuine food allergy also produces histamines that cause the body to react quickly to the allergen (s).
Peanut allergies
