Symptoms of food allergy
Some food allergies result in immediate, severe and even life-threatening symptoms (such as severe peanut allergy), whereas others cause symptoms which may take longer to develop (for example, gluten allergy, also known as coeliac disease).
You may get some or all of the following symptoms:
* itching and/or swelling of your lips, mouth, tongue and throat
* skin reactions (eg swelling and itching, eczema and flushing)
* diarrhoea, feeling sick, vomiting and bloating
* coughing
* wheezing or shortness of breath
* runny nose
* sore, red and itchy eyes
