When you think of “allergies” do you automatically envision someone with an inhaler device? Many people think of the very dangerous situation of extreme reactions — closing throats, swollen tongues, and the inability to breathe. Severe food allergies are not to be taken lightly.
But did you know that not all food allergies come with extreme reactions you can immediately see on the outside? More than half of all Americans have a food allergy – most don’t even know it.
A person can have a food allergy or sensitivity to foods like bread, milk, eggs, and even healthy foods like broccoli — and they may not realize that these common foods are making them ill.
That’s why doing some detective work to figure out if there are any food allergy culprits is important.
In this pillar, you’ll learn how to detect hidden food allergies and what to do about them so you can better help yourself and your clients.
