The paragraph that I want to add to on the Religious restrictions on the consumption of pork article:

I am not Islamic, but I feel as though there should be more than one verse from the Quran to support no consumption of pork.

One example of verses from the Quran on pig consumption:"He has only forbidden to you dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to other than Allah . But whoever is forced [by necessity], neither desiring [it] nor transgressing [its limit], there is no sin upon him. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful."What I would add to the article:

The only things which are made unlawful for you are the flesh of dead animals, blood, pork and that which is not consecrated with the Name of God. But in an emergency, without the intention of transgression and rebellion, (it is not an offense for one to consume such things). God is certainly All-forgiving and All-merciful.

In the third paragraph of the article Food Allergy it states early exposure may be protective. I would add what is considered as early exposure such as an allergy test:

Early exposure to potential allergens may be protective. Management primarily involves avoiding the food in question and having a plan if exposure occurs. This plan may include giving adrenaline (epinephrine) and wearing medical alert jewelry. The benefits of allergen immunotherapy for food allergies is unclear, thus is not recommended as of 2015. Some types of food allergies among children resolve with age, including that to milk, eggs, and soy; while others such as to nuts and shellfish typically do not.

Having an allergy test done by a professional is a way to be proactive in early exposure to allergens. Allergy test are typically performed by a specialists in form of a skin test, blood test, or an elimination test.
