That's because Michael is allergic to every food he's ever tried except for raw hemp seeds, pure cane sugar and a formula for highly allergic children called Neocate. Food is kept locked away in the kitchen as if it were poison. Read about Michael's reaction to Neocate, which no longer works for him. Michael was born weighing only 4 pounds and 4 ounces, though he wasn't premature, Gonzalez said.
She soon noticed Michael couldn't consume breast milk without vomiting or having diarrhea. Doctors eventually diagnosed Michael with food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome, or FPIES, which renders people unable to eat certain proteins without getting sick. Doctors told Gonzalez her baby would grow out of it. So it's important to know how to recognize an allergic reaction and to be prepared if one happens.
With a food allergy, the body reacts as though that particular food product is harmful. As a result, the body's immune system which fights infection and disease creates antibodies to fight the food allergen.
Every time the person eats or, in some cases, handles or breathes in the food, the body releases chemicals like histamine. This triggers allergic symptoms that can affect the respiratory system , gastrointestinal tract , skin, or cardiovascular system. People often confuse food allergies with food intolerance because of similar symptoms. The symptoms of food intolerance can include burping, indigestion, gas, loose stools, headaches, nervousness, or a feeling of being "flushed.
In general, most kids with food allergies outgrow them. Other food allergies may be harder to outgrow. Food allergy reactions can vary from person to person.
Sometimes the same person can react differently at different times. So it's very important to quickly identify and treat food allergy reactions. Sometimes, an allergy can cause a severe reaction called anaphylaxis , even if a previous reaction was mild. Anaphylaxis might start with some of the same symptoms as a less severe reaction, but can quickly get worse.
The person may have trouble breathing or pass out. More than one part of the body might be involved. If it isn't treated, anaphylaxis can be life-threatening. The doctor will look for any other conditions that could cause the symptoms. For example, if your child seems to have diarrhea after drinking milk, the doctor may check to see if lactose intolerance could be the cause. Celiac disease — a condition in which a person cannot tolerate the protein gluten — also can cause similar symptoms.
