Allergies - Common Triggers of Asthma

Allergies:

Asthma and allergies go hand in hand. Allergic reactions are the most common triggers of asthma attacks. In addition to the triggers listed above, asthmatics should be wary of air pollution, perfumes, cleaning products, kerosene heaters, mold, mildew, latex, and insect stings. In scientific studies, bakers, manicurists, hairdressers, and painters have been shown to develop occupation-related asthma, as do those who work in petroleum refineries and in the construction, auto body, and food-processing fields. Studies also show that the incidence of asthma, especially in children, is much greater in urban areas than in rural areas. In the country, the air is cleaner, and children play outside more often than children living in cities.

Food Allergies:

Food allergies can play a major role: asthmatics are often allergic to common foods such as dairy products, wheat, eggs, soy, yeasts and citrus fruits. Many asthmatics are sensitive to food additives and preservatives such as benzoates, sulfites, benzaldehyde and artificial colors (especially tartrazine [FDA,C yellow 05]), so choosing natural, unprocessed foods is recommended. Food allergies are often misdiagnosed, mainly because there are two types.

The traditional type is called immediate onset. These allergic reactions develop minutes after ingesting only tiny amounts of the allergenic food. There are characteristic, predictable responses involving the skin, airway and gastrointestinal tract. Examples are bronchospasms, vomiting and/or hives from ingesting shellfish or nuts. Immediate onset allergies are usually restricted to 1-3 foods, and occur in less than 5% of the population, although 10% of asthmatics may have them.

Far more common, but more difficult to diagnose, are delayed onset food allergies. These develop after 2-48 hours, and are dependent on the amount and preparation of food eaten. Delayed onset food allergies cause various responses, from asthma to ulcers, which are not always predictable or easily linked to the offending food. 3 to 10, or as many as 20 foods may be involved. Delayed onset food allergies can have cross-reactions, especially among grains and legumes. If you're allergic to kidney beans, eating black-eyed peas and pinto beans instead is no solution, and may eventually cause the same type of allergic response. I recommend microELISA blood food allergy testing that tests all four IgG subclasses. Skin tests are not acceptable for diagnosing delayed onset food allergies!
