DC Ranch Family Medicine Health Tip

Symptoms of food allergies can appear right after eating the food or up to a couple of hours after.  Some signs of food allergies include red/itchy skin, hives, upset stomach, stuff/itchy nose and sneezing. You can relieve mild symptoms with an antihistamine. If you have a severe reaction you may need an injection of epinephrine and be taken to an emergency room or call 911.
