People with asthma have food allergies more often than you might expect.\u00a0 This may help you to manage asthma.<\/p>\n

I both anecdotal evidence collected on this website which you will find encouraging, and statistical evidence for those who prefer a more scientific foundation to managing their asthma.<\/p>\n

Most people with asthma know that air-borne allergens such as dust, mold and pet dander can trigger their asthma.\u00a0 Avoiding pets and carpets, along with good housekeeping help to reduce asthma attacks.\u00a0 But is that the whole story when it comes to asthma triggers?<\/p>\n

It turns out that food plays a big role, much bigger than you might expect.\u00a0 In the related article Wheat, Gluten and Asthma<\/a>,well over 200 people have left comments saying that they used to have asthma, but have seen symptoms reduce or even disappear by eliminating gluten from their diet.<\/p>\n

It would be a mistake to assume that everyone with asthma will be ‘cured’ by simply going on a gluten-free diet.\u00a0 But there are a couple of important lessons here: first, that food allergies can play a big part in triggering asthma, and second, that a gluten-free diet might help (only if you have a gluten allergy).<\/p>\n

What some people have found, especially for Wheat-Dependent Exercise-Induced Anaphylaxis<\/a>, is that by eliminating the allergy-causing food, in this case wheat or gluten, well known triggers, in this case exercise, either no longer cause an asthma attack, or have much reduced severity.<\/p>\n

Now take a look at this chart from the Center for Disease Control.\u00a0 You can see that people with asthma (this chart is for children) are much more likely to have food allergies than not.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n Food allergies correlate to Asthma\n

If you have asthma, you should definitely explore what food allergies you may have.<\/p>\n

What is your experience with asthma and food allergies?\u00a0 Please leave a a comment.<\/p>\n
