Rhinitis allergica nutritive J30.1

Allergic-inflammatory disease of the nasal mucosa (and the conjunctiva), which is related in time to exposure to nutritive allergens (when specific sensitization is present)

Very rare

Among the known (pollen) allergens of seasonal rhinitis, cross-reactions with food are often found, which cause "food allergies" when the allergens are exposed. The incidence of such cross-reactions is variable: for tree pollinists, the incidence varies between 45 and 75% depending on the research group.

Even non-pollinated food allergies can in individual cases trigger bronchial asthma, allergic rhinoconjunctivitis or migraine attacks.

Rhinitis allergica as a monoorganic reaction to nutritive allergens is an absolute rarity. Combinations (e.g. rhinitis allergica + gastrointestinal symptoms) of different allergic organ manifestations are almost always present simultaneously (see also oral allergy syndrome).
