I am a long-time sufferer of food Allergies, and it is amazing what they can do to you.
In general, having a food allergy means that when you eat the food you are allergic to, you get sick in some way. However, different foods effect different people in many different ways.
Stomachaches and gas problems are very common with food allergies. If you keep on eating what you are allergic to, this may seem like a chronic condition. It may not sound like much, but it is very uncomfortable. Intestinal problems are also common with food allergies.
However, there are other effects which may not be so well-known. Food allergies can make you feel extremely tired all the time. They can make you constantly lose your focus and cncentration. You won't be able to think quite right. You can get headaches almost all the time, and for girls, it can make your period be extremely painful.
There are many other side effects as well, but listing them all out could take a lot of time. I suggest that if you have food allergies, you get a blood test done to figure out what you are allergic to. Once you pull food out of your diet it could take up to two months to start feeling better. So the sooner you get started, the sooner you'll feel better.
People with untreated food allergies have two options. They can either avoid eating the food to which they are allergic, or they can eat it anyway and get sick, or possibly die if the allergy is severe.
It can effect food choices because you'r allergy can be a food allergy.
