Where did all these food allergies come from?Questions here routinely have "and I'm allergic to wheat, eggs, soy, etc, etc" added to them.
You never heard that not so many years ago; similarly, nobody batted an eye about peanuts.
What're the theories about why this is on the rise?
And -- no offence to the so-afflicted -- but is any of this "it gives me a bit of digestive trouble" rather than actual "allergy"?

I blame it on genetic defects. In my case caused by my mother smoking while pregnant. Fortunately my food allergies are mild but my pollen and smoke allergies are life threatening.

I completely agree with you, I remember the doctors telling me to only feed my children one new food a week when they were babies, not to feed them food until they were 9mnths old, etc etc. or elses they would get a food allergy. I KNOW my mom didn't do that with me, and I said forget it, and fed them a variety of foods as soon as they showed an interest in them, no allergies here! I think it is all a big myth, something to make "super-mommies" feel good about going by the book.

To be honest..Food allergies probably did not start until growth hormones and such were being put into food to make more or make it bigger and so on a such. Most likely if a person were to start eating an organic counterpart to what they are " allergic" too the symptoms of allergy would cease to exist.
this may not really answer your question..but it is something to think about.
