Swelling and itching are common symptoms of a garlic powder allergy and they can occur in various parts of the body, such as the face, lips, tongue, or throat. These reactions are caused by the immune system's response to the allergens present in garlic powder.
Skin irritations, such as hives or eczema, can also appear. This usually includes redness, itching, or a rash. These occur when the body comes in contact with garlic powder and reacts negatively to it.
Some people may experience digestive problems, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or abdominal pain. These symptoms occur when the body's immune system reacts to the perceived threat from the allergens in garlic powder and causes inflammation in the digestive system.
Anaphylaxis is a severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reaction that includes symptoms like difficulty in breathing, lowered blood pressure, loss of consciousness, and severe skin rashes. If someone who is allergic to garlic powder goes into anaphylaxis, they need immediate medical attention.
Respiratory symptoms like sneezing, coughing, wheezing, or difficulty in breathing may occur due to an allergic reaction to garlic powder. These are caused by inflammation of the airways as the body tries to reject the allergens.
Garlic powder allergy can cause nasal congestion, which can make breathing through the nose difficult. This happens when the immune system triggers an inflammatory response, causing swelling and increased mucus production in the nasal passages.
Recognize your symptoms?
Recognizing if you have a garlic powder allergy involves understanding the common symptoms of food allergies and then correlating it with your consumption of foods that contain garlic powder. Here is a guide to help you identify if you have a garlic powder allergy.
Understand Food Allergy Symptoms
Identify Relationship of Symptoms and Garlic Powder Consumption
Start observing and recording your diet. Make a note of whenever you consume food made with garlic powder. Also, jot down the timing and severity of symptoms that you notice after eating these foods. If you see a consistent correlation between eating garlic powder and the onset of symptoms, you might have a garlic powder allergy.
Consult an Allergist
If you suspect you have a garlic powder allergy, it is best to consult a certified allergist. They can carry out actual tests, such as a skin prick test or a blood test, to determine your allergy towards garlic powder.

Am I eligible?
Understanding what triggers your allergies is the first step in avoiding them. If you suspect a garlic powder allergy, schedule an appointment with an allergist to get confirmed testing. They can help confirm what is causing your symptoms and the severity of your allergy.
Always read food labels diligently. Foods, including sauces, dressings, chips and certain proteins, can contain garlic powder. Even some non-food items such as certain medications or supplements can contain garlic. If you're unsure about a product, contact the manufacturer to clarify.
Whenever you're eating out or at someone else's home, clearly and respectfully communicate your allergy to the chef or host. Make sure they understand the severity of your allergy and that cross-contamination can still cause a reaction.
If your garlic powder allergy is severe, consider carrying an epinephrine auto-injector with you at all times. An epinephrine auto-injector can treat an allergic reaction in an emergency. Make sure you know how to use it and that those close to you know how to use it as well.
