INTRODUCTION

Food allergy is recognized as a common problem worldwide, and, like other atopic disorders its incidence appears to increase. In recent years, investigations of dietary protein allergy and immunological responses have moved to the molecular scale, and newly found knowledge might provide new experimental strategies for the laboratory diagnosis and control immuno-modulator of food-induced by allergic reactions (1, 2).

About 20% of the population changes their diet for an adverse reaction to a food collected, but the application of double-blind placebo-controlled food challenge orally, the "gold standard" for diagnosing food allergy indicates that studies based on a questionnaire overestimate the prevalence of food allergies. The clinical disorders determined by adverse reactions to food can be classified based on the immune system to no immune mechanisms and the system of organ / system (3, 4, 5).

The true prevalence of food allergy is lower and appears to be between 1% and 4% of the general population and about 6% of the general population and about 6% of the pediatric population, but does occur in that 25% of children with eczema6. allergic hypersensitivity simply, is an adverse immune protein (or allergen) in our environment, which is normally harmless to the non-allergic. It may appear as a slight itching of the skin, tissue swelling and wheezing or anaphylaxis to evolve towards a full and death. 18 million allergy sufferers live in the United Kingdom where 4% of the population also have a food allergy.

Allergy develops after repeated exposure to the allergen. Awareness was held at the first exposure (a process that can take up to six weeks to develop) and no adverse effects appear to occur during initial sensitization (6).

(A) Definition

A food allergy is an immune response to a food protein, caused by allergens in foods that are a kind of protein in food. These proteins resist baking, stomach acid and enzymes in the stomach and intestines and enter the bloodstream and can cause allergic reaction after entering the bloodstream.

(B) signs and symptoms

The symptoms of food allergies are: -

1. Anaphylaxis - a severe allergic reaction of the whole body that can cause death. Leads to vasodilatation and, if severe, symptoms of shock.

2. Angioedema: - rapid swelling (edema) of the skin, mucosa and submucosal tissues, especially the eyelids, face, lips and tongue.

3. Eczema is a form of dermatitis or inflammation of the upper layers of the skin.

(A). Atopic eczema (aka infantile E. E. flexion, atopic dermatitis) is supposed to be inherited, and often goes in families whose members also have hay fever and asthma. Itchy rash is particularly noticeable on the face and scalp, neck, inside elbows, behind the knees and buttocks.

(B). Contact dermatitis is of two types: allergic (resulting from a delayed reaction to certain allergens, such as poison ivy or nickel), and irritant (resulting from direct reaction to a solvent, for example). Some substances act both as allergen and irritant (eg wet cement). Other substances cause exposure of a problem after sunlight, bringing on phototoxic dermatitis.

(C). xerotic eczema (aka Asteatotic e., e. craquelatum or cracked, winter itch, pruritus hiemalis) is dry skin that becomes so serious that it turns into eczema. It worsens in dry winter, and the limbs and trunk are the most affected. The i.
