Excessive or underconsumption of foods in early life also increases the risk of food allergies, as does the use of antibiotics. Research presented at the annual scientific meeting American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI).
Although the causes of food allergies are unknown, various hypotheses exist. In the new study, researchers surveyed and collected data from 38,408 children and 40,443 adults with confirmed allergies. Approximately 20% of adults with allergies report that eating too much of a particular food triggered their allergies. 12% of adults reported developing allergies after taking antibiotics, and 10% reported avoiding certain foods before developing allergies. Approximately 25% of parents of children under 17 reported that their child’s development of a food allergy coincided with a viral infection.
Scientists noted that it is known that eating certain allergens, such as peanuts, from infancy can prevent allergies to them later in life. Therefore, you should not stay away from common allergens and include them in your child’s diet with the help of a doctor.
