Clinical presentations of IgE-mediated food allergy beyond the GI system.

Cutaneous:
Urticaria-angioedema/pruritus
By food ingestion or contact (an estimated 20% of acute urticarial cases are food allergy-related) [8,9]; severity of IgE-mediated food allergy can be determined by the percentage of the involved skin [10]
Respiratory:
Rhinoconjunctivitis/asthma
Rarely isolated; commonly associated with other organ/apparatus involvement; can be triggered by allergen ingestion or by inhalation via aerosols (as in baker’s asthma)
Neurological Dizziness or weakness, change in the mental status, unconsciousness (generally associated with anaphylaxis)
Cardiovascular Tachycardia, hypotension, cardiovascular collapse (generally associated with anaphylaxis)
