There are many ways to eliminate these allergies. But homeopathy is one of the most effective and least invasive treatments for food allergies. Homeopathic remedies stimulate the body's natural healing process. These strengthen your immune system so it's less likely to have allergic reactions in the future.

Causes of food allergies

Let's find out in detail what causes food allergies:

1. Allergies to pollen (such as hay fever) and mould spores (such as the nasal symptoms of allergic rhinitis) are common in patients with food allergies.

2. A food allergy happens when the body's immune system wrongly believes that food or substance (like peanuts) causes harm and creates antibodies against it. The immune system tries to fight off the "invader," causing allergic symptoms each time you eat or handle the food.

Symptoms of food allergies

• Skin problems - like hives, eczema, rashes;
• Breathing problems such as asthma;
• Digestive issues such as stomach cramps, vomiting, and diarrhoea;
• Nose and throat problems such as congestion, sneezing, and a runny nose;

• Milk and dairy products - such as cheese, yogurt, and ice cream;
• Eggs - including albumin in egg whites;
• Peanuts - which come from a legume (not a proper nut);
• Tree nuts - such as walnuts, Brazil nuts, and almonds;
