An allergic reaction occurs when the immune system overreacts to a substance it identifies as an invading organism. Foreign substances in the body are called antigens, which can be ingested, inhaled or absorbed through the skin. These exposures provoke physical reactions designed to provide a defense against the invading substance. Food, chemical and environmental allergies demonstrate a variety of symptoms that can affect virtually every part of the body so that a person may experience weight gain, fatigue, brain fog, indigestion/reflux, chronic infections, chronic pain or mood disorders such as anxiety or depression.
