Everyday life with allergies - allergy sufferers need to pay attention to these points when it comes to food

Anyone who suffers from allergies must pay attention to a number of points in everyday life. There are many pitfalls, especially when it comes to food, and people with allergies often have to be careful. For example, people who order food or go to restaurants are often restricted in their choices.

Those who are looking forward to dinner in a restaurant or often order from a delivery service, allergy sufferers often know what to look out for. For a long time, this was very problematic, as there was a lack of labeling of dishes with allergens. It is not always clear from the description of the dish alone whether an allergen is part of the sauce or seasoning mix, for example.
 
This has changed since December 13, 2014, as the revised Food Information Regulation (EU Regulation 1169/2011) obliges restaurateurs to label allergens on the menu. Allergens can also be found on dishes online, allowing allergy sufferers to choose a dish that suits their diet. If you really want to be sure, ask the restaurateur again when ordering. It is helpful to specifically point out your allergy and indicate possible intolerances.

Allergic reactions manifest themselves in a broad spectrum. They range from annoying side effects such as sneezing to life-threatening conditions such as anaphylaxis. For this reason, it is important to take allergies seriously. The problem is that in most cases there is no cure and those affected have to live with the allergy.

However, there are a number of options, particularly in the area of natural substances, which can be used to reduce the body's reactions to allergens. This leads to relief in everyday life. One such option is black cumin, a plant native to Southern Europe and Central Asia. The anti-allergic effect of black cumin has been known in these regions for centuries. Black cumin oil is said to help with pollen allergies, hay fever in general and asthma.

For allergy sufferers black cumin oil capsules are particularly practical. These are now available from manufacturers who specialize in the production of such products. Capsules are practical because they are compact and deliver a high dose at the same time. This means that the capsules are always with you, whether on vacation or in a restaurant. Capsules with black cumin oil in particular provide other substances that are beneficial to health, such as omega-6 fatty acids.

If you like to cook a lot at home, you also need to pay attention to certain things if you have allergies. Allergens are often found in processed foods in particular, which is annoying. Fortunately, there is now a very large selection of basic foods for allergy sufferers, so those affected don't have to do without anything.
 
 For example, there are adapted recipes that take into account the different needs of allergy sufferers. The ingredients that trigger allergies are simply replaced with other ingredients in these recipes. For example classic blueberry pancakes as a gluten-free version, use almond or buckwheat flour instead of the usual wheat flour.

When it comes to cost, allergy sufferers are often at a disadvantage when shopping. But there are solutions for this too. For example, allergy sufferers can want to bake healthy bread themselves can easily do this at home. This is much cheaper than using expensive products for allergy sufferers from the supermarket.
