Any abnormal reaction resulting from the ingestion of a food could be considered an adverse food reaction, and not necessarily a food allergy. In the evaluation of a patient with a history of an adverse reaction to food, one must consider the broad differential diagnosis before labelling the patient as ‘allergic’ to a foodstuff. The classification of adverse reactions to food is discussed, and ...
