Food Allergies Complete each sentence about food allergies and intolerances. Parents are advised to space out the introduction of new foods to infants in order to identify any potential allergens, which are the parts of foods that cause food allergies (also called antigens).

Common symptoms involve the skin, respiratory tract, and gastrointestinal tract. Any adverse reaction to food that does not involve an immune response is a food allergy. Severe food allergies can cause a response that lowers blood pressure and causes respiratory and gastrointestinal distress. This potentially fatal response is known as anaphylactic shock.
