One of the first signs of an allergic reaction to chicory could be the development of a rash or hives. These are usually itchy and can appear anywhere on the body. Hives are raised, red and itchy welts that can be different sizes and shapes.
Issues such as wheezing, difficulty breathing, nasal congestion or a runny nose can also be a sign of a chicory allergy. In severe cases, breathing difficulties could escalate to anaphylaxis, a life-threatening allergic reaction that requires immediate medical attention.
Swelling is also a symptom of a chicory allergy. This may occur on the face, lips, tongue, throat or any other part of the body.
Individuals with chicory allergy may experience digestive problems such as stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. This happens because the immune system considers chicory as a harmful substance and tries to expel it from the body.
Eczema or skin inflammation is another symptom of a chicory allergy. As with the skin rash, the eczema is a result of the immune system's response to the perceived threat presented by the chicory.
An allergic reaction to chicory may also cause dizziness or light-headedness. This can be a sign of a severe allergic reaction, and immediate medical attention should be sought.
Recognize your symptoms?
The best way to identify a chicory allergy is to first know the common symptoms usually exhibited by people suffering from food allergies in general and those specific to chicory. After that, you may identify exposure to chicory and consult with a doctor to get a definitive diagnosis.

The most direct way to avoid a Chicory allergy is to avoid consuming Chicory in all its forms, whether it's in coffee, food, or even dietary supplements. Foods and beverages made with Chicory root are particularly high in allergens that can trigger reactions in people with a Chicory allergy.
Chicory can be an ingredient in many food products such as salads, stews, and even baked goods. It is commonly used as a coffee substitute or flavor enhancer. Therefore, always make it a habit to read product labels before purchasing, in order to avoid inadvertent consumption of chicory.
Whenever dining out or eating at someone else's home, make sure to inform them about your allergy to Chicory. This will ensure that any dishes or drinks served to you do not contain any traces of Chicory. This is an easy and effective way to avoid unexpected exposure to the allergen.
If you've identified that you have a Chicory allergy, it's crucial to consult a healthcare professional or allergist for advice and guidance. They can help manage your symptoms, suggest alternatives, and help to avoid potential triggers. Their advice can be invaluable in managing allergies.
