Food Allergy Testing in Ankeny
Relief from Food Allergies with Our Advanced Testing Solutions
Food isn’t just for nourishing our bodies, it can also be an incredibly satisfying and positive experience for our emotions and wellbeing. If you live to eat rather than eat to live, then you may be concerned when you start noticing brain fog, bloating, gas, and other problems whenever you finish eating. These symptoms maybe indicate you have a food sensitivity or allergy.
Common Food Allergy Symptoms
It is important to be aware of food allergy symptoms, as they can become dangerous and require immediate medical attention. Some symptoms include an itchy sensation, rash or swelling around the mouth or throat.
A severe and dangerous allergic reaction is known as anaphylaxis. While rare, it is more common in people with food-related allergies. Signs of anaphylaxis include:
- Swelling or narrowing of the throat
- Trouble breathing
- A sudden drop in blood pressure
- Loss of consciousness
- Shock
If you are experiencing symptoms of a food allergy and want to get tested, call Allergy Institute P.C. at (515) 619-5179 or contact us online to schedule an appointment today.
Comprehensive Food Allergy Diagnostics in Ankeny
Food allergies usually require avoiding the allergen completely and carrying an epinephrine auto-injector (such as EpiPen®, Avi-Q®, or Adrenaclick®) at all times. Our board-certified allergists in West Des Moines and the surrounding areas provide support for food allergies, including allergies to shellfish, peanuts, dairy, and other common food allergens.
The best way to prevent allergy symptoms is to avoid the food altogether; however, if you’re not sure which food or foods could be causing your symptoms, it’s a good idea to see an allergist for testing.
