Eating something you're allergic to can trigger symptoms ranging from a runny nose to a dangerous full-body reaction.

This causes allergic symptoms. Food intolerance is more common and doesn't involve your immune system.

Many children will outgrow their allergy to eggs, milk, wheat, and soy by the time they are 5 years old if they avoid that food when they are young. Allergies to peanuts, tree nuts, and shellfish tend to last a lifetime. </div></div></div><div id="quiz_slides_8" class="quiz_slides fade"><div tabIndex="0" class="quiz_content" id="quiz_content_81"><h4 class="question">To find out if you're still allergic to a food, you should eat a small amount.</h4><ul class="answer_choice_list" id="answer_choice_list"><li id="answer_choice_274" tabIndex="-1" class="answer_choice"><input aria-label="A.
