The Allergy LinkFew people realize just how deeply connected allergies are to numerous health conditions. IAA helps patients understand the link between allergies and common conditions such as:
Asthma & the Allergy Link Asthma is the leading cause of chronic illness in children. It affects as many as 10%-12% of children in the U.S. and is steadily increasing, possibly due to children being exposed to more and more allergens such as dust, air pollution and second hand smoke. You may wonder what allergies and asthma have in common besides a maddening ability to make you miserable. A lot, as it turns out. James T. Li, M.D., a Mayo Clinic allergy specialist, says that "allergies and asthma often occur together. In fact allergic asthma is the most common type of asthma in the United States. The same substances that trigger your allergy symptoms can also inflame your airways leading to asthma symptoms such as shortness of breath, wheezing and chest tightness." For many people with asthma, their asthma symptoms are triggered by an allergy to airborne substances such as pollen, dust mites or pet dander. In some people, skin or food allergies can cause asthma symptoms. How Can I Tell If My Child Has Asthma?Signs and symptoms to look for include:  
If I Treat My Allergies, Will It Prevent Asthma?For many people the answer is YES. Many allergy treatments can reduce asthma symptoms and can help treat asthma by gradually reducing your immune system response to allergens that cause your asthma symptoms.

ADD/ADHD & the Allergy LinkHas your child been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder aka ADD/ADHD? Does your child exhibit any of the following symptoms?
If these symptoms sound familiar your child may be suffering from ADD/ADHD in relation to food allergies. CSPI, a non-profit group of scientists, reviewed 25 years of studies and issued a report in 1999 that concludes ADHD can be caused by foods and food additives.  A large number of ADHD children may be having a negative response to food, and this response may be the primary cause of their ADHD. (Anthony Kane, MD, 2004-2008 ADHD and Food Allergies) Researchers claim that the percentage of ADHD children whose behavioral symptoms are affected by foods ranges from 60% to 75%. You may be asking yourself, "If research shows that by treating the food allergies many of these symptoms can be relieved, how do I find out what my child is allergic to? Then what do I do to fix these allergies? Medications can have many side effects and aren't usually prescribed for children that are in pre-school or younger.

Autism & the Allergy LinkAnyone who has a child or seen a loved one suffer with the wide spectrum of symptoms associated with Autism understands how frustrating it can be. What's worse is Dr. Macdonald Baker of Immuno Laboratories reports, "Autism is growing at near epidemic rates in certain regions of America, in fact a recent study by the state Department of Developmental Services indicates the number of Autism cases has nearly doubled in California in the last four years." You have probably thought that with all the advances in modern medicine why do most continue to struggle and why is it that many people report that the problem is only getting worse. New Research reveals that Diet may be one of the key factors in controlling the symptoms of Autism. In fact the results of a study done by Dr. Daniel Dantini in the early 1970's showed that Autism is curable by diet alone if caught early enough. (http://www.foodallergytest.com/autism.html Autism and its relationship to Immune Complex) While there is no cure yet for Autism there is growing evidence to support a connection between Autism and allergies.  Daniel C. Dantini M.D. goes on to say that, "I cannot stress enough the importance of the early diagnosis of autism, the significance of testing for harmful foods, and the complete elimination of these foods from a child's diet. This early intervention will be the most critical intervention you will do for your autistic child, especially if the child is under the age of three years or before full brain maturation."

Eczema & the Allergy LinkHave you ever felt an uncontrollable itch on the inside of your arm or back of your leg that itched unlike most other itches? An itch that you itched so hard and for so long, that eventually you itched right through the skin leaving a raw, moist, cracked area of skin. You knew that itching it was only going to make it worse, but that didn't matter nor did it stop you. You may have Eczema. Eczema is a skin allergy condition characterized by itching and a red rash. Signs and symptoms of Eczema (atopic dermatitis) include:
 Eczema typically involves sites on the body such as
There is an association between eczema and allergies. Most people who contract Eczema will also develop other allergic conditions. Between fifty and eighty percent of young people with eczema will go on to develop hay fever (allergic rhinitis) or asthma. In cases of eczema where children are under three years of age, it has been found that in about 33% of the cases, the child was found to be allergic to eggs, milk, and wheat. In children over the age of seven, 50% of patients had a food allergy that triggered their outbreak. Conventional allergy therapy has had little positive effect in treating eczema. Therefore, the major focus in treating eczema is providing patients with relief from symptoms. Doctors usually prescribe some of the following:

Fibromyalgia & the Allergy Link
You may have what doctors call Fibromyalgia.  Fibromyalgia is one of the most common rheumatic conditions next to osteoarthritis. Fibromyalgia symptoms include:
Let us consider Dr. Kelly Krohn's (Oregon Health Science University ) description of symptoms associated with fibromyalgia. She stated: "The majority of fibromyalgia patients have a large number of other symptoms - often a major source of frustration and lead to a reduced quality of life. Some common associated problems are: 
What Do Food Allergies and Fibromyalgia Have In Common?Food allergies or a Food Intolerance can cause inflammation symptoms which causes pain. And the type of food contributing to inflammation symptoms and pain can be different for each individual. One food may be positive in one case and negative in another. The easiest fibromyalgia treatment is eliminating the foods causing the pain. Food intolerances "turn up" the pain volume in fibromyalgia sufferers. They also have more noise, light and chemical sensitivities, than other people.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome Treatment (IBB) & The Allergy Link Your stomach hurts all the time. Know matter what you do it seems like you are always fighting abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation and a change in bowel habits. Chocolate, dairy products, caffeine, greasy foods and alcohol may instigate miserable bowel attacks. If this sounds all to familiar then you may be suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome or IBS IBS affects a significant part of the population; with studies indicating as much as 20% of Americans may be afflicted with its symptoms. Causes of Irritable Bowel Medical science cannot adequately explain why people come down with IBS. Doctors feel that this disorder results from a combination of genetics (genetic predisposition) and the environment (food allergies and stress). Allergies may play a significant role in IBS. Adults with allergy symptoms report a high incidence of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), suggesting a link between atopic disorders and IBS according to a new study.

Lactose Intolerance & the Allergy Link For those that suffer from Lactose Intolerance or milk allergies this may sound familiar. You just finished off that giant bowel of creamy, delicious ice cream. You know you are going to regret it later but you tell yourself it was worth it. Then, pain and discomfort kick in. Your stomach goes into spasms and knots. You feel like laying on your couch in the fetal position. You know you should call the neighbors that are downwind of you and warn them. Now it's off to the restroom you go. You know what happens in there so we won't go into details. Milk, cheese, ice cream and dairy products all produce similar results. If this sounds familiar you may suffer from Lactose Intolerance. What Is Lactose Intolerance?Lactose intolerance is an inability to digest and absorb lactose (the sugar in milk) that results in gastrointestinal symptoms when milk or products containing milk are drunk or eaten. There are 3 main reasons for Lactose Intolerance. It can be caused by a congenital lack of the enzyme lactase, a secondary cause such as disease that destroys the enzyme lactase, or the most common, it can be developmental in which there is a decrease in the amount of lactase that occurs after childhood and persists into adulthood. What are the Symptoms of Lactose Intolerance?The common symptoms of lactose intolerance can include any of the following symptoms: 
How are Lactose Deficiency and Lactose Intolerance Diagnosed?Although there are several good ways to diagnose lactose intolerance, most people who consider themselves lactose intolerant have never been formally tested for intolerance. This is unfortunate because at least 20% of people who think they are lactose intolerant are not, and 20% of people who think they are not intolerant, in fact, are intolerant.

In many recent studies, people with Autism are shown to be more prone to allergies which may be the result of the impaired immune system common to Autistics. This evidence also shows that the removal of these allergens (especially wheat and milk) has a positive correlation with the easing of symptoms associated to autism. However, the hard part is getting the child to follow a strict diet especially when foods that they may be allergic to are all around them and many times the exact foods that they allergic to are the exact foods that they crave.
