Allergy To Tomato Sauce

An allergy to tomato sauce can have mild effects or be life threatening depending on the individual chemical reaction of the body. Using an elimination diet is the best way to narrow the possibility down to tomato allergy symptoms. Because the tomato is part of the Deadly Nightshade family, a person may also experience a reaction to eggplant, tobacco, foxglove, and potatoes. Treatment for the allergy may be misdiagnosed or mistreated for the reaction such as obesity, seizures, or rash. The most effective treatment addresses the problem not the reaction to the problem, however, if the root problem cannot be found, management of the reaction may be necessary. Because the root of the problem is usually linked to inefficient processing of proteins, a balanced diet with focus on high levels of vitamin consumption will manage, but may also eliminate the tomato allergy symptoms.



An elimination diet can provide adequate proof of food allergies. Keeping a detailed journal of food consumption, physical activity, physical and mental reactions, and any changes in lifestyle for at least a week will help determine problem foods. During this time serve meals that eliminate complete food groups such as the Deadly Nightshade family for a whole day. Allergic reactions usually appear within 4-6 hours after consumption. Any adverse feeling should be noted. Sometimes an allergy to tomato sauce can appear as lightheadedness, fatigue, or numbness in a certain part of the body. All of these tomato allergy symptoms may be mistaken for other problems. In order to be sure of the specific reactions change only the consumption of these foods. It is crucial to make no other changes in lifestyle or food consumption during this test period. Even the slightest change can mar the final results of the test. Another possibility is that a chemical used in the tomato products consumed is creating an allergic reaction. Take careful note of the brand of products used and, if the reactions are not life threatening, try other tomato-based products that are fresh or do not include the skin, seeds, or juice. Chemical sensitivity and reactions to the skin, seeds, and juice are the most common allergies recorded.



Identifying food allergies is difficult even if a person has a chemistry or biology degree. Understanding the chemical makeup of food and its counterparts. This is important when trying to understand the actual cause of an allergic reaction. Allergy to tomato sauce can include additives or preservatives present in commercial foods. One way to test this theory is to consume only fresh tomatoes for a week or until a reaction occurs. If no reaction occurs then evaluate the brand of sauce or other products used to identify the reactive culprit. Testing for a week will better determine the actual cause due to the bodys natural abnormalities and inconsistencies in reactions. Tomato allergy symptoms may differ each time a person has exposure. Sometimes the reason is a lack of nutritional fitness. Understanding the appropriate amounts of which vitamins to consume will aid in building up the immune system to fight against allergies and other systems in the body in order to ward off disease, infections, and illness. The most important vitamins for general consumption include: Vitamin A, Vitamin B, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Pantothenic Acid, Glucosamine, Antioxidants, Allergy Aid, and Quercitin. These vitamins and nutrients can be consumed through food or vitamin supplements.



It is important to fully understand where all supplements and food are coming from and how they are composed or grown. This is especially important if a chemical sensitivity is suspected. Finding organic or all natural products is very important for anyones health. Take note that all natural and organic are not the same. On top of that USDA certified organic is not the same as organic. Because most alternative products are not regulated by the FDA, labeling on these products may be inaccurate as well. An allergy to tomato sauce can also be caused by cross-contamination in the factory. This type of allergic reaction is next to impossible to identify without medical testing. A skin prick test is uncomfortable and time consuming, but may offer the needed data for proper diagnosis. Although this is a through test revealing almost all food allergies, it is ineffective in diagnosing any chemical sensitivity. This type of problem can only be diagnosed by eliminating certain or all chemicals from the diet and observe what happens. Again, this is not an absolute way to get a sure answer, but is the closest to accurate way to diagnosis that is available. And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather [it] to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them. (Genesis 6:21)



Once a diagnosis is made, a person needs to figure out how to maintain proper nutritional balance without consuming the problematic foods or chemicals. This change may end up costing a person more in groceries, but efforts to grow food in a kitchen or garden can offer relief of financial burden as well as allow the person to control what goes in their body with concern to chemicals. Due to the recent nutritional and natural interest in America, health food stores are found conveniently staffed with educated workers who can suggest replacements for people that experience tomato allergy symptoms. The choices a person has will depend on the tolerance of proteins in uncooked tomatoes. Some people are only allergic to the protein present in uncooked tomatoes. Trial and error as well as skin and blood tests can further determine if this is the only problem.
