2008-04-26 17:21:00 Spring means many different things, to many different people. For individuals who live with seasonal outdoor allergies, it means finding a way to cope with months of discomfort every time they step outside.

Food Allergies
2008-03-18 22:03:00 There is probably no area more controversial and perplexing as suspected allergies connected with food. These range from sensitivity to food additives, such as coloring, preservatives, and other foreign chemicals, to plant sources, to actual hypersensitivity to protein and other constituents of fruits, grains, nuts, vegetables, or animal foods. Careful detective work and long-term adherence to dietary regimens are frequently necessary to first diagnose and then live with food allergies.It is my belief that the stage is set for many food allergies by feeding patterns in infancy, such as the early introduction of solid foods, the widespread use of cow?s s milk in prepared formulas, and the relative lack of mother interest in prolonged breast feeding. Maternal use of drugs whichsensitize the babies in utero or during the breast-feeding period can also prepare the way for allergic responses to develop.The most common allergy that occurs in infancy is a sensitivity to cow?s milk.
