As more and more Americans have developed or identified food allergies and sensitivities, online retailers, grocers, and restaurants have taken notice and are trying to capitalize on new found market opportunities. Many local stores have increased their selection of healthier food alternatives to include locally grown produce, organic foods, and products free of chemical additives. Numerous online retailers have specialty shops featuring products free of MSG, Gluten, and High Fructose Corn Syrup. Additionally, specific dietary groups are also embraced such as Vegans and Vegetarians, as well as those with allergic reactions to particular ingredients. Allergies and sensitivities to products such as eggs, fish, milk, peanuts, soy, and wheat are among the most common types of ingredients that can cause a reaction. By taking a proactive approach to dining out, purchasing food, and living a healthier lifestyle, avoiding the negative effects associated with food allergies and sensitivities has never been easier.

Nationwide there have been sharp increases in diagnoses of food allergies, specifically gluten intolerance and Celiac disease. Gluten is a protein found in grains such as wheat, barley, and rye. Even small amounts of gluten can cause reactions such as headache, nausea, and chills. With greater awareness and detection, those suffering allergic reactions or sensitivities to ingredients containing the protein have more choices than ever. Many national and local restaurant chains offer gluten free and allergy free menu items. These typically consist of products not necessarily 100% free of gluten, but products that contain small enough amounts to not adversely affect those sensitive to gluten. However, there is still a risk of cross contamination as regular menu items are cooked throughout the day.
Healthy Delights!
