The term “allergy” was first used only a hundred years ago, and even then allergies were rarely diagnosed. Between 1997 and 2007, the number of children under 18 who suffered from food allergies jumped 17%, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Allergies are a growing health condition and can cause serious immune system problems that go deeper than the sufface annoyances of allergy sufferers. Finding out what you are allergic to is critical for effective allergy treatment.
Many people with untreated allergy symptoms aren’t aware of how much better they can feel once their symptoms are properly diagnosed by an allergist.
60% of people with food allergies display symptoms that are seemingly unrelated to their digestive system.
