What is Food Hypersensitivity?

Food Hypersensitivity or Food Allergy is quoted as Aahar Asatmya as per Ayurveda. When someone eats food that is not tolerated by the body and the body starts producing inflammatory reactions. This results in allergy or hypersensitivity in the body.

This is the general explanation of food hypersensitivity, but the main question that strikes is why it happens and how one can deal with it. Hang around till the end and have an insightful read, we are going to cover every detail of it and the bonus tips in the end just only for you. Oh, wait! Don’t jump straight to the end, read the entire blog, it is written with in-depth research to educate and make you aware of Food Hypersensitivity.

Causes of Food Hypersensitivity

Food Hypersensitivity is generally due to the autoimmune reactions produced by the body. Let’s look deep into some of the other causes of food hypersensitivity:-

  • The tri dosha imbalance, especially the vitiation of Pitta dosha, results in food hypersensitivity, particularly towards foods like spicy, sour, fermented foods and some veggies like brinjal, potatoes and tomatoes.
  • When the body’s immune system mistakenly treats the proteins of the food as infectious elements and starts producing inflammatory reactions.
  • When certain people don’t have any particular enzyme to digest a particular food. The best example here is lactose intolerance.
  • Some stomach disorders like irritable bowel syndrome and ulcers make it hard for the gut to digest food.
  • Some are allergic to synthetic additives, artificial colouring agents and flavours present in the food resulting in allergic reactions.
  • For women, when they attain puberty, pregnancy and menopause, it is common to have food allergies or intolerances due to hormonal changes.
  • Some food intolerances can be hereditary like gluten intolerance.

Symptoms of Food Hypersensitivity

Food Allergy or Food Hypersensitivity symptoms are not limited to the gut but can also affect the airway passages and skin. Some people develop symptoms within a few minutes of intake of intolerant food but others develop after a few hours. In some people, the allergic reactions are minor but in some, we can see life-threatening reactions. We will divide the symptoms based on severity so it can help you easily decide when it’s time for you to run to the doctor.
