NCM - Allergic / Food Intolerance
Dietary Requirements
Allergic
An abnormal reaction by the body to a food protein, causing the immune system to produce antibodies that react with the allergen
Requires food products that do not contain specific ingredients
Common allergies include: peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, sesame seeds, fish, shellfish, soy and wheat
Food Intolerant
Caused by reactions to certain foods or components of foods but does not involve the immune system
An enzyme deficiency in the body that prevents the digestion of lactose, gluten and salicylates
Added ingredients including food additives and processing aids may also be the cause of food intolerance
Health Concerns
Allergic
Modern food-processing techniques can create food safety issues if machines are used to produce multiple products with varying ingredients
This can potentially cause contamination of foods without allergen ingredients
People with peanut and nut allergies are at the greatest risk of fatal allergic reactions
Symptoms: hives, swelling of mouth and throat preventing regular breathing, vomiting or diarrhoea, collapse and in most severe cases anaphylaxis
Food Intolerant
Symptoms: rashes, asthma, bowel issues, colic, bloating, migraines, lethargy, irritability
Food intolerance can be difficult to diagnose meaning it is difficult to prevent
