Eggs may cause stomach upset, asthma and eczema.

Avoid egg white and all foods made with eggs, including baked goods, ice cream and mayonnaise.

Fish may cause digestive upset, rash and migraine.

Avoid all smoked fish and fish pâté; check to see if you are sensitive to white fish, such as cod and haddock.

Food additives may cause hyperactivity, migraines, flatulence and indigestion.

Avoid food and drink containing additives; watch out for benzoic acid, tartrazine and monosodium glutamate.

Gluten can cause migraine and coeliac disease (Crohn’s disease).

Avoid wheat, rye and barley, and products made from these grains. Gluten is used as an additive by the food industry to improve the appearance and texture of many products. Unless specifically stated to the contrary, assume that all stock cubes contain gluten.

Milk (cow’s) and products made with cow’s milk can cause gastric upset, constipation, catarrh, eczema and wind.

Avoid cow’s milk products. Ewe’s milk and goat’s milk are less likely to cause problems. Soya milk is another alternative, although some people find it causes indigestion.

Nuts can cause rash, eczema, swelling, asthma, and death due to anaphylactic shock.

Avoid all nuts and products containing nuts. Most food manufacturers are becoming conscious of this problem and labelling foods that may pose a danger. ALWAYS READ THE LABEL ON THE PACKAGE. Restaurants are more difficult; if you are concerned, call ahead to check how the chef deals with cases of nut allergy.

Shellfish can cause rash, nausea, stomach upset, asthma and death due to anaphylactic shock.

Avoid shellfish and all products containing shellfish. Watch out for fish soups and mixed fish salads, as they may contain shellfish or shellfish stock.
