Peach
Peach allergy is an immune system response to proteins found in peaches, a condition more commonly observed in people with tree pollen allergies due to cross-reactivity. This type of allergy can vary from mild oral allergy symptoms to more severe, potentially life-threatening reactions like anaphylaxis....
Description
- Itching or tingling in the mouth and throat
- Swelling of the lips, tongue, and throat
- Hives or skin rash
- Gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea
- Nasal congestion or sneezing
- Anaphylaxis in severe cases, including difficulty breathing and drop in blood pressure
Cross-reactivity is common in individuals with peach allergy, particularly those with Oral Allergy Syndrome (OAS). They may also react to:
- Other stone fruits like cherries, plums, and apricots
- Apples and pears
- Almonds and other nuts, as they are related to peaches
- Foods containing birch pollen, if the allergy is associated with birch pollen sensitivity
- If you experience allergic reactions after eating peaches or foods containing peach.
- If you have known allergies to related fruits, tree nuts, or birch pollen.
- If you have a family history of fruit allergies or pollen allergies.
- Before introducing peaches to a young child’s diet, especially if there’s a family history of allergies.
- Avoid peaches and products containing peaches, including juices, jams, and flavorings.
- Read food labels carefully for the presence of peach ingredients.
- Be cautious with cross-contamination in environments where peaches are processed.
- For mild reactions, over-the-counter antihistamines may provide relief.
- Carry an epinephrine auto-injector if you have a history of severe allergic reactions.
- Consult with an allergist for specific diagnosis and management strategies, including advice on handling cross-reactive foods.
