The term “allergy” means “adverse reaction”, “substance sensitivity” and “intolerance”. Allergies can always be the underlying cause or at least part of the problem. Any substance can become an ‘allergen’ and trigger reactions. Foods and environmental substances are known to either cause or worsen allergy symptoms.
