Title: Can being allergic to a specific food cause other food allergies?
Post by: 101doc on Sep 30, 2012
I recently was tested for food allergies and found that I am allergic to pretty much everything that would be in an everyday normal diet including yeast, rice, eggs, dairy, wheat, rye, barley, and sugar cane. Could there be a possibility that being allergic to one food could make a body sensitive to other foods? And if this food was eliminated from a diet would the other allergies go away?

Basically yes, there might be components in that certain food that are just as same as the food that you are allergic too. Eliminating it in the diet depends on what kind, you should try and substitute it with something that has the same vitamin contents so that you still have the good diet minus the allergy.
