1. an immediate reaction
   a delayed reaction
2. either of the above

The reaction to food intolerance is not immediate. A reaction can occur in 30 minutes or over the span of several days.

1. skin tests
   blood tests
2. either of the above

Skin tests typically screen for allergic reactions that are more immediate. You require blood tests if you have a delayed reaction due to food intolerance.

1. food elimination diet
   feces analysis
2. urine analysis

Try eliminating all questionable food from you diet for two to three weeks. Keep a diary indicating the presence -- or hopefully absence -- of any symptoms.

1. dairy and grains
   dairy and nuts
2. nuts and sugar

Dairy and gluten-containing grains, such as wheat, rye, barley, oats and spelt, are the most common food intolerance culprits.

1. an overactive immune system
   inability to digest foods properly
2. both of the above

Highly processed grains, such as cereals, can be difficult to digest, leading to symptoms of food intolerance. Similarly, the processing of milk and/or soy products can be difficult to digest, leading to food intolerance symptoms.

1. 20 percent
   30 percent
2. 50 percent

About one in three American schools have banned at least one food from their schools due to allergies. Typically, schools ban peanuts and foods that contain peanuts.

1. 50 deaths
   100 deaths
2. 150 deaths

Some allergy-related food reactions can be life threatening and require immediate medical intervention. Unfortunately, some 150 Americans die every year from severe allergy-related food reactions.

1. It's a multisystemic meltdown.
   It's a severe nasal reaction.
2. It's a severe esophagus reaction.

An anaphylactic allergic reaction involves multisystemic shutdown of the body and can be life threatening if left untreated. This multisystemic meltdown can affect the throat, skin and lungs.

1. by injecting a dose of antihistamine
   by taking an immunotherapy injection
2. by injecting a dose of epinephrine

Injecting a dose of epinephrine will immediately increase blood pressure and open up the airways in your lungs, relieving you of anaphylactic symptoms.

1. release of antibodies
   overactive immune system
2. both of the above

Food allergies, such as peanut allergies, involve an overactive immune system that releases antibodies. Whereas food intolerance is the result of problems in the digestive system.

1. a milk allergy
   lactose intolerance
2. both of the above

A reaction to milk products can be either the result of a milk allergy, or the result of lactose intolerance and problems with your digestive system.

1. childhood
   adolescence
2. adulthood

Lactose intolerance typically begins in adulthood. Milk allergies, alternatively, occur primarily in young children.

1. allergy to fruits and vegetables
   allergy to eggs
2. allergy to meat

Believe it or not, adults are more likely to be allergic to fruits and vegetables than peanuts. Peanut allergies get a lot of bad rep and it may seem more prevalent than it actually is.

1. 500,000 children
   one million children
2. three million children

In 2007, reportedly three million children had a food related allergy. Yet, there were only 10,000 hospitalizations related to childhood food allergies in that same year.

1. one
   two
2. three

The most recent recommendation is to withhold giving your child peanuts until they are three years old. This seemingly overly cautious recommendation is due to the severity of peanut allergies.
