Food Allergies - Food allergies are far more prevalant in today’s society. We look at some facts.

FOOD ALLERGIES - ALLERGY / INTOLERANCE

Allergy: When a food is consumed that someone is allergic to, an allergic response is triggered by the body’s immune system by producing antibodies.

A food allergy is always diagnosed by testing for antibodies. Sometimes a symptom can be exactly like that of an allergy but may not be caused by an allergy

Intolerance: Not every bad reaction to food is a food allergy.

A food intolerance is a bad reaction to food that doesn’t involve the immune system. It involves symptoms but no antibodies. Some food intolerance reactions can include stomach-ache, hives, headache, nausea, coughs.

Making your very own baked goods is an absolute treat.

Baking is a traditional rainy-day activity and what a bonus that baking can be made healthier.

A good tip for any baking is that the sugar content can usually be halved without too much of a taste change.

Using fruit as a natural sweetener is also a great way to get more micronutrients in, and many grated vegetables can be secretly included as well.

There’s nothing better than the smell of fresh baking.
