The ability to move through the bloodstream of the allergens explains why they can cause symptoms in away areas instead of in the gastrointestinal tract. The symptoms of food allergy may start with symptoms of swelling of the tongue and throat, then numbness, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and may have symptoms in the skin and nasal mucosa.
