10 Food Allergy Symptoms
6. Diarrhea
Diarrhea is defined as the passage of 3 or more loose or liquid stools in a single day. This is a non-specific symptom that is associated with many conditions. Depending on the duration of this symptom, it can be classified into acute diarrhea (usually lasts a few days) and chronic diarrhea (over 14 days). Diarrhea can lead to dehydration, and this is especially important in young children and elderly patients.
People with food allergies may experience diarrhea after ingesting the allergen. If treated, this symptom should resolve shortly without any major complications. It is important to stay hydrated to avoid dehydration.
