Even though yeast allergies are quite common, a significant number of its symptoms are ascribed to yeast actually are the causes of something else. Nevertheless that is not to say that yeast allergy symptoms have not been the bane in the existence of many persons. The downside to not being able to pinpoint the exact symptoms is that it makes it that much harder to do it on your own, and therefore you will definitely have to visit your doctor to help you to ascertain what you need to do so as to escape other such flare ups.
The main yeast allergy symptom is fatigue and sluggishness, as the allergy usually deteriorates the immune system. Another common symptom of yeast allergy is gastrointestinal ache. It causes gassiness, vomiting and diarrhoea. This is an indication that there is something not too good taking place in your intestines. Due to the fact that intestinal issues are also a usual symptom of other food allergies, this also makes it hard figure out what is making your body respond the way it is responding. The symptoms of yeast allergy may take anywhere from hours to days after its consumption to show up and therefore it is usually very hard to figure out what exactly is causing them.
Other yeast allergy symptoms include a runny nose, and prickly eyes. It may also come with sneezing and coughing. These reactions come about as the body's way of rejecting what it deems a foreign substance that can cause it significant damage. They are, in essence, the body's way of alerting you that there is something wrong in your body. In its fight against the yeast, the body releases a chemical known as histamine to counteract the effects. Too much histamine is what usually causes the runny nose and the itchy eyes in persons who are having an allergic reaction to yeast. It can also cause you to go into anaphylaxis in some extreme cases. This is the reason for doctors prescribing antihistamines so that they can counteract the histamine the body produces to warn of the presence of yeast in your body and also to off the body protection from its yeast intake.
Rashes and eczema are also common symptoms of a yeast allergy. Hives may also be a symptom that is developed from having consumed yeast. There is a difference between hives and eczema, in that while eczema is a prolonged condition that is activated by an allergic response, hives is directly related to a response to whatever is causing the symptoms. There is normally a quick appearance and disappearance of the hives. They usually appear and then disappear just within a few short hours.
