Allergies are treated by avoiding the foodstuffs that contain the allergen. Sometimes this avoidance is permanent as in cases of severe allergies. In cases of intolerance and less severe allergies, the bodies’ tolerance of these foods can be improved. Often education as to which foods contain the offending substance is needed and then slowly as symptoms improve after a period of complete avoidance of the food stuff or allergen, the allergen may be gradually re-introduced.
