certain food allergies like nuts and seafood are less likely to be outgrown but most others resolve over time. food allergy causes a specific type of reaction such as immediate (within minutes to a few hours) hives lip/tongue swelling flushing itching lightheadedness nausea vomiting or low blood pressure every time the offending food is consumed. pustules (acne-like lesions) are usually non-allergic.
do you ever outgrow food allergies or can the severity of allergic reactions change as we age?
