Which of the foods is more possible to cause allergy

In summary, the most common food allergies are to peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, fish, eggs, milk, soy, and wheat. Symptoms such as hives, itching, swelling, difficulty breathing, or stomach pain after eating a certain food may indicate a food allergy. It is possible to outgrow a food allergy, but it varies from person to person. There is no evidence that specific foods can increase the risk of developing allergies, but avoiding common allergens during infancy and introducing them gradually later on may reduce the risk. Early introduction of common allergens and breastfeeding may help prevent food allergies, but it is important to consult with a doctor beforehand.
