Most parents are familiar with the well-known symptoms of allergies such as hay fever, itchy eyes and eczema. Yet, there are more, lesser-known symptoms that one would not necessarily associate with a food allergy. Some of the behavior children portray are down-right irritating and they are often scolded for that – with little effect. The following symptoms may be linked to an allergy to foods such as dairy, wheat, gluten, sugar and eggs.
- “Allergic salute” is the term used to describe a child who constantly wipes his nose upwards or with the back of his arm. A child could even have a horizontal crease near the end of his nose due to the constant pushing up
action. - Constant snorting noises as if he is clearing something from the back of his throat. A post-nasal drip is often the culprit and is just as irritating to the child as it is to the parent.
- Puffy face, especially under the eyes. Dark circles under the eyes are referred to as “Allergic shiners”
- Horizontal wrinkles that run from the inner corner of the eye.
- Lips that are cracked at the corners or frequently dry and scaly.
- Dry and scaly cheeks.
- Bottom of the ear lobes can be red and cracked.
- Eyes that are constantly wet and lashes that stick together.
- Pot belly.
- Musty smell.
- Sleeping behavior such as a child who constantly moves his legs while asleep or rhythmically bangs his head.
- A child who is uncontrollable, clumsy, disobedient or hyperactive could just as well be suffering from a food allergy.
- Other behavioral symptoms could be sudden fatigue, abnormal sleepiness or “busyness,” mood changes, depression, anxiety, fear, crying fits and bad temper.
- Headaches.
- Frequent ear, throat en sinus infection.
- Muscle weakness or stiffness.
- Sudden itchiness.
- Breathlessness.
- Sweating.
- Increased heart rate.
- Marked changes is drawing or handwriting after a lunch-break while the child was well-behaved before.
- Bed wetting.
- Constipation.
Researchers are starting to suspect a possible link between allergies to foods like dairy, wheat and gluten and a variety of clinical disorders such as Migraines, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Schizophrenia and Depression.
There has been cases where addressing the allergy in the child – thus a allergy-free diet – has had a wonderful, positive effect on a child who suffers from any or some of the symptoms mentioned above. An allergic response has its origins in the immune system. Therefore it may be wise to boost a child’s immune system while avoiding allergens in his diet. Products like “Oleo Ex” ( Olive leaf extract ) and Echinae can help to strengthen the immune system and thus lessen the body’s overreaction to allergens.
