1.

what is food allergies

A food allergy is an abnormal reaction to a particular foodstuff (such as a seemingly harmless

prawn, kiwi or piece of fish), which the body then considers as an intruder. The onset of a food
allergy depends on individual genetic predispositions, the plants present in the environment and
also on eating habits. Celery, for example, is more frequently consumed in Central Europe,
resulting in a higher proportion of allergies there compared to the rest of the world.

An inherited family predisposition is called an atopy, i.e. a predisposition of the body to produce
antibodies against substances in the environment. If either one of the parents is allergic, the child
has a 30% chance of being so, while the risk is 70% if both parents are allergic.
