A few examples of asthma triggered by foods

Kevin was a four-year-old boy plagued with allergies. Mum and Dad knew that he was allergic to eggs. They made him extremely ill. Within ten minutes of eating them he would break out in a rash of hives and vomit violently. He also had eczema, asthma and rhinitis. Finally, and this is the reason his parents brought him to the Allergy Clinic, he had become hyperactive in recent months. 'He was always an active child,' they said. 'But this is ridiculous! He gets mood swings, loses his temper, and disrupts his Montessori class.' We put him on the Low Allergy Diet in the hope of improving his mood and behaviour. He enjoyed great relief from all his symptoms within ten days of his diet. 'His mood is much lighter, and he is now so pleasant,' his parents told me. 'Not only that, but his asthma, eczema and rhinitis are better than they have been for years.' Asthma can be triggered by allergy to food — particularly when other symptoms of food allergy are present!

Bernard was a little older than Kevin when I first met him. He also had a long history of asthma, and he too had other symptoms of food allergy. In particular, he frequently complained of bellyache and headache. Every day, he took two inhalers and one tablet to control his asthma. Notwithstanding his medication, he had a constant cough. In addition, he had several bad attacks each year requiring treatment with steroids. We put him on a ten-day Low Allergy Diet. By day seven, his lung function had improved quite dramatically. We then set about expanding his diet again, and managed to reintroduce all major food items without incident — until we came to soft drinks. Within thirty minutes of drinking a well-known branded lemon drink he developed an acute asthmatic attack. The drink was laden with metabisulphite — a preservative, and a recognised problem for some asthmatics. Asthma can be triggered by an allergy to food additives!
