A Practical Guide to Suspected Food Allergy
		63%	An excellent overview of food allergy. Dr Adrian Morris Allergy Society of South Africa (ALLSA)   SouthAfrica
Your comments			I found this article very helpful. F. Martinez I agree, I did not know that cross-reactions may be important. Frank I think this was the best article I have read on food allergy. I should know, I have had hives from food for the past 5 years. Your site was informative, without going into too much detail. Thus it led to a true understanding of the food allergy situation for the lay person. Clare Flocco

Your comments			I think this helped me very much as I am a sixteen year old girl about to go on holiday to Greece and I am aiming to get as many numbers as I can but this article reminded me that just one kiss from some one who has eaten peanuts.... could be fatal to me as I need to use my Epipen but as I go to clubs at night I dont want to be worrying about having to use it.

			Coconut Allergy
		67%	Coconut (Cocos nucifera) belongs to the Aracaceae family (palm family). A nut is defined as one-seeded fruit with a hard pericarp (ripened ovary wall). The coconut, technically speaking is not a true nut, but a "drupe" or "dry drupe". This "false nut" is a seed- bearing; hard, inner layer (endocarp) of a fruit (called a drupe). In dry drupes the outer layer or husk sometimes split open or withers. The Auckland Allergy Clinic   New Zealand
