The Difference Between Food Allergies and Food Intolerances

Being uncomfortable is never a good feeling, regardless of what it's caused by. When you feel that type of unease, your body may feel tired or itchy, or a million other ways. If it's caused by allergies or intolerances, it's something you can pinpoint and avoid as needed. Additionally and fortunately, those uncomfortable feelings are acting as little alerts to let you know that something isn't right.

Environmental Allergies in Children

Many children are excited because the school year is about to start up again and these next few weeks will be their best days of summer. With the free time coming to a close, families are eager to spend time outside, away from computers and other electronics. But for anyone dealing with seasonal environmental allergies, being outdoors can lead to sneezing, asthma attacks, and even rashes.

6 Skin Allergy Conditions and Their Treatments

Allergies come in many different forms, ranging from mild reactions treatable with some quick over-the-counter medications, to others that can be severe and even lethal. While the worst case scenario is scary, there are ways to monitor and prevent potentially life-threatening reactions. Most commonly, you'll be facing much lighter, more treatable allergens. These can often be painful to deal with but won't necessarily result in risking your life.

Food Allergy Key Concepts

Even as the prevalence of food allergy is increasing (up to 8% of kids in the US have a food allergy), it seems that the myths surrounding food allergy are also increasing. One of the things I love about my job as an allergy fellow is helping patients and their families work through these myths and establish true allergy versus intolerance.

The importance of treating the root cause of your allergies

When seasonal allergies come around, you might experience severe allergy symptoms. During those times, your immune system goes into overdrive. Over time, this can overtax and weaken your immune system, which makes it even more difficult to handle future illnesses. Your body's immune system plays a critical role in managing your allergies.

When you treat the underlying cause of allergy symptoms, you can help strengthen your immune system by preventing future stress on your body. Root cause treatment is methodical, effective, and critical to a personalized comprehensive care plan.

And you'll just feel better knowing what was making you feel bad in the first place. Let's fix the problem together. It's time to get out and live the life you want.

Call us and let's find out how we can help you stop or at least significantly reduce your allergies.

See what people have to say about AllergyWaco

They continue to impress me. I was away from clinic for a few months and I struggled with shortness of breath while trying to work in my yard. One day I had a bad asthma attack and asked the clinic would they see me immediately. That day they took care of me and 3 days later I was able to mow my backyard without short of breath. I should have know better because these same people has kept my allergies under control for many years. I’m just speechless and in Awe at what they do. To the entire staff especially Dr.Daftary and Mrs. Muenster, Thank you so much!

Today my husband and I both had appointments with Dr. Fowler. It was the best experience I’ve had with a doctor. He was thorough, we didn’t have to wait long, the whole staff was very friendly and professional. Dr. Fowler is extremely knowledgeable. We drove in from out of town because my previous experience was so horrible. I have asthma and allergies. I highly recommend this doctors office and Dr. Fowler.

Super fast allergy shots! The receptionist remembers me and checks me in even before I enter the building. I'm probably in and out in less than 2 minutes on average.
