AB  - Food allergies are estimated about 1-2% in adults and 8% in children younger than 
      6 years. Allergic rhinitis is a common disease with a prevalence of 40% among 
      different societies. Although, some foods play a role on exacerbation of allergic 
      rhinitis symptoms, but still there are controversies about the role of diet on 
      incidence or worsening the symptoms. The ongoing research demonstrates a possible 
      relationship between certain foods and their induction of allergic reactions by 
      modulating immunoglobulin E. A total of 100 patients (including both children and 
      adults), between the ages 10 to 60 years, diagnosed with allergic rhinitis were 
      selected for the study. Pregnant females and treated patients with antihistamine 
      were excluded from the study. In vitro serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels 
      mediated by a combination of food and inhalant allergens were detected by RIDA((R)) 
      Allergy Screen in blood samples. Data were presented as mean, standard deviation 
      and standard error. A statistical analysis was performed by one-way analysis of 
      variance (ANOVA). A p value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. We 
      reported that 63% of patients with allergic rhinitis were sensitized to common 
      food allergens whereas the rest 37% of patients were not sensitive to any of the 
      food allergens. Similarly, a correlation between the age groups of patients with 
      allergic rhinitis and food allergy were also accomplished. We found the highest 
      response rate for allergic rhinitis and food allergy (53.2%) for the people 
      between aged between 21 years and 40 years. We also demonstrated that females are 
      more prone to mediate allergic rhinitis as induced by food allergies as compare 
      to males (i.e., 66.2% vs. 33.3%). Food allergy is estimated to be 4.5% in 
      adolescents and adults with asthma, rhinitis or both. Rice, citrus fruits, black 
      grams and banana are identified as major allergens for inducing allergic-rhinitis 
      symptoms.
