Would our ability to withstand allergies change as we grow?

I know that adults have relatively less food allergies as compared to kids. Let's say.. If i am allergic to butter when i am 2yrs old. At 20 years of age, would my allergies be gone? Or would it stay dominant in my body and i will have to refrain from butter for the rest of my life?

erm.. ic.. But if the allergy is there, it will always be there?

There is no way to tell. Some people outgrow their allergies, some people don't. New allergies can appear at any age for no reason. The safest way to find out is to see an allergist every so often and have the tests run to see what you are still allergic too.

To answer you question in the additional details: what I am saying is there is no way to know if it will always be there. It might go away, it might not. Some do, some don't. To find out if it is still there, rather than eating butter and seeing if you have a reaction, you should go to an allergist who can test you and see if you still have it.
