A food allergy is an immune system response to a food that the body
mistakenly believes is harmful. Once the immune system decides that a
particular food is harmful, it creates specific antibodies (specific IgE) to
it. The next time the individual eats that food, the IgE attached to a cell
(mast cell) releases massive amounts of chemicals, including histamine, in
order to protect the body. These chemicals trigger a cascade of allergic
symptoms that can affect the respiratory system, gastrointestinal tract,
skin, or cardiovascular system. This is an overreaction of the immune
system not a weakness or immune deficiency. In allergic reactions the
immune system is working perfectly normal. The abnormality is with an
error in recognizing the food protein as foreign.
