Food Allergy and Intolerance Week
Food Allergy & Intolerance Week runs from 23rd to 29th January and is looking to raise awareness not just of the physical effects of these conditions, but the social impact they have. Allergy UK will be providing help and support throughout the week for the millions of sufferers in the UK.
Worryingly nearly a quarter of UK adults (24%) view sufferers of food allergies and intolerances as 'fussy' or feel that they use their condition as an excuse not to eat something.
45% of the UK population are estimated to be suffering from food intolerance and 2% of UK adults are diagnosed with a food allergy. Despite the fact so many are affected, there is a distinct lack of information out there for sufferers and all too frequently the conditions are misunderstood.
