title: [Nutrition and allergy].
abstract: In many patients, commercial, industrially processed, but often also unprocessed ("natural"), food cause postprandial complaints. If skin or respiratory complaints occur in addition, it is safe to assume the presence of a food allergy. Often, however, it is not the foodstuff itself, but molds or mold enzymes added during processing that are responsible, and other additives may also act as allergens. Quite frequently, the condition is not strictly an allergy, but a pseudoallergy. This paper deals both with the diagnostic evaluation and treatment.
