Did you know up to 25% of children with allergic rhinitis, or hay fever, also suffer from Oral Allergy Syndrome (OAS) when eating certain fruits and vegetables? This occurs when your immune system confuses certain food proteins with airborne pollen.

While major EoE triggers typically include dairy and wheat, research has identified apples as a specific trigger for eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) in some individuals, particularly those with a related condition known as Pollen-Food Allergy Syndrome (PFAS). Understanding this link is crucial for effective dietary management.
