We all eat to survive, and most of us enjoy eating. However, recent research shows that one in twenty children under the age of five and one in twenty-five adults is allergic to at least one food. More and more people are becoming aware of food allergies, making it a topic of increasing public concern. Food allergy is becoming a growing concern for parents. Food allergy is a growing public health problem, affecting an estimated 8% of children. A food allergy is defined as an adverse health effect resulting from a specific immune response that occurs reproducibly upon exposure to a particular food. About 40% of children with food allergies have a history of serious reactions that can lead to hospitalization and even death if not treated promptly with appropriate medications. The societal cost of food allergy is large, and it spreads widely to the healthcare system and families. When someone in the family has a food allergy, the whole family is affected. There may be day-to-day concerns about a loved one accidentally eating a food that could cause anaphylaxis, a dangerous allergic reaction. A food allergy is an abnormal response to a food triggered by the body's immune system. There are a variety of immune responses to food. Sometimes, a reaction to food is not an allergy but another type of reaction called a food intolerance.

ÇOCUKLARDA GIDA ALERJİLERİ

Öz

Hepimiz hayatta kalmak için yeriz ve çoğumuz yemek yemekten zevk alırız. Bununla birlikte, son araştırmalar, beş yaşın altındaki yirmi çocuktan birinin ve yirmi beş yetişkinden ise yine birinin en az bir besine alerjisi olduğunu göstermektedir. Giderek daha fazla insan gıda alerjisinin farkına varmakta ve bu da onu kamuoyunda artan bir endişe konusu haline getirmektedir. Gıda alerjisi, ebeveynler için giderek artan bir endişe haline gelmektedir. Gıda alerjisi, çocukların tahmini %8'ini etkileyen büyüyen bir halk sağlığı sorunudur. Gıda alerjisi, belirli bir gıdaya maruz kalındığında tekrarlanabilir şekilde ortaya çıkan spesifik bir bağışıklık tepkisinden kaynaklanan olumsuz bir sağlık etkisi olarak tanımlanır. Gıda alerjisi olan çocukların yaklaşık %40'ında, uygun ilaçlarla hemen tedavi edilmezse hastaneye yatış ve hatta ölüme yol açabilecek ciddi reaksiyon öyküsü vardır. Besin alerjisinin toplumsal maliyeti büyük olup sağlık sistemi ve ailelere geniş ölçüde yayılmıştır. Ailede bir kişide gıda alerjisi olduğunda tüm aile etkilenir. Sevilen birinin yanlışlıkla anafilaksiye, yani tehlikeli bir alerjik reaksiyona yol açabilecek bir yiyeceği yemesine dair günlük kaygılar olabilir. Gıda alerjisi, vücudun bağışıklık sistemi tarafından tetiklenen bir gıdaya anormal bir tepkidir. Yiyeceklere karşı çeşitli bağışıklık tepkileri vardır. Bazen, gıdaya verilen bir reaksiyon, bir alerji değil, gıda intoleransı olarak adlandırılan başka bir reaksiyon türüdür.
