any organ system
of the body.
Advanced Allergy Therapeutics addresses the specific organ system affected by the allergen or offending substance.

Digestive System
Symptoms include reflux, burping, heartburn, abdominal and intestinal pain, esophagitis, cramping, gas, bloating, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and irritable bowels.
Digestive symptoms are primarily caused by food and other substances ingested.

Symptoms include red, itchy or scaly skin rashes, blisters, oozing and crusting lesions, dry or leathery patches, hives, dermatitis or eczema.
In addition to food, reactions can be caused by plants, contactants and chemicals.
