Living with Childhood Food Allergies - Documentary

The documentary "I’m Not Nuts: Living With Food Allergies", sheds some light on this rising issue of food allergies through interviews with families that are directly affected.

Food allergies were a rarity just 40 or 50 years ago, but today an estimated one out of every 13 children has a food allergy -- and the incidence is increasing.

Food allergies can be difficult to detect in young children who are unable to communicate their symptoms; unexplained crying, diarrhea or rash can be common signs.

There are likely genetic and environmental factors triggering the rise in food allergies; genetic modification, food additives, and abnormal gut flora are some potential culprits discussed.
