Those aren't the only symptoms of allergies, surely? For years I couldn't eat peanut butter, because it would give me serious cramps. As did bananas. So for the longest time I said I was allergic an mek dem pass mi by. Only in the last couple of years have I been able to partake in peanut butter. Bananas still touchy...
Salmon makes me throw up. So I call it an allergic reaction... am I wrong?

Re: How does an adult determine if
Symptoms of food allergy can affect many parts of your body, including your:
Digestive system. Symptoms include stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, itching in the mouth and throat, and rectal bleeding (rare in adults). These symptoms occur more often in children than in adults.
Skin. Symptoms include hives camera or welts, swelling, itching, redness, and atopic dermatitis. Skin reactions are common in children.
Respiratory system. Symptoms include coughing; wheezing; an itchy, stuffy, runny nose; sneezing; and trouble breathing.
Children usually have the same symptoms as adults. Symptoms of milk or soy allergies in children may include eczema, a runny nose, and wheezing. But sometimes the only symptoms are extreme crying (colic), vomiting, blood in the stool, diarrhea, constipation, or poor growth.
Symptoms vary from mild to life-threatening and can appear from within minutes to days of eating a food. The most severe reaction is anaphylaxis, which affects many body systems and can be deadly.
