Do your food allergies make you feel isolated? You may feel all alone, but it’s important to realize that an estimated 32 million fellow Americans — 1 in 10 adults and 1 in 16 children — are also coping with the disease.
And of those living in the US with food allergies, 90% are attributable to the “Top 9” allergens. Here they are with an estimated number of Americans that are dealing with allergies to them:
- shellfish: 8.2 million
- milk: 6.1 million
- peanut: 6.1 million
- tree nuts: 3.9 million
- egg: 2.6 million
- fin fish: 2.6 million
- wheat: 2.4 million
- soy: 1.9 million
- sesame: 0.7 million
Add to that the roughly 2 million Americans who are coping with celiac disease and must avoid gluten, and you’ll find yourself in the company of many living with restricted diets.
Still feeling alone? Here’s a list of 20 celebs and the foods that are their kryptonite.
