If you have experienced any symptoms listed below after eating or drinking a particular food or drink and have not been evaluated or treated previously for it , make an appointment with a UHS healthcare provider as soon as possible.
If you have been diagnosed with a food allergy and want dietary guidance, you can schedule an appointment with the UHS registered dietitian at (512) 475-8010. Charges apply.
If you are allergic to a specific food, you must eliminate it completely from your diet. Continuing to eat foods to which you are allergic can result in more serious and potentially life-threatening reactions such as anaphylactic shock.
Note: : Food intolerance (e.g. lactose intolerance) is not the same as a food allergy. You should still avoid the problem foods, but reactions are not as serious as those caused by food allergies. Symptoms of food intolerance include gas, bloating, abdominal pain, and sometimes diarrhea.
