Our doctor’s opinion on food allergies
As part of its quality approach, Passeportsanté.net invites you to discover the opinion of a health professional. Dr Dominic Larose, emergency physician, gives you his opinion on the food allergy :
Living with a food allergy is complicated. You have to learn the multiple variations of the not always clear names of foods on the labels. It is a real headache. There are still people who die from a known food allergy. Without exception, anyone who knows they have a severe allergy must have adrenaline in their possession. And if a person starts showing symptoms of a severe allergy, help them by contacting emergency services (9-1-1) immediately! There are also all those who, having had a discomfort X shortly after eating a food Y, start eliminating one food after another, believing they have an allergic reaction when they are not. They therefore eliminate a quantity of healthy foods that they should not deprive themselves of. Dr Dominic Larose, M.D. |
