Breathing problems that happen during an asthma episode can occur as a result of a reaction to an allergen such as a food. Of course, anyone can have an allergic reaction to food and not have asthma. Also, not all asthma episodes are caused by allergies. It is important for people who have asthma to be aware that food allergens can cause or trigger an asthma episode.
