International survey on growth indices and impacting factors in children with food allergies
ConclusionsStunting is more common in children with food allergies than low weight. Children particularly at risk of poor growth are those with non ‐IgE and mixed IgE and non‐IgE mediated allergies, as well as those with cow's milk allergy.

Managing allergens from a food retailer perspective including an update on allergen labelling regulation
Summary
Food allergy presents a unique food safety issue, as while allergy affects a relatively small proportion of the UK population, consuming foods containing even minute quantities of a food allergen can have very serious consequences. New European Union (EU) legislation [Regulation (EU) No. 1169/2011 on the provision of food information to consumers], with which manufacturers and retailers have until December 2014 to comply, requires allergens to be highlighted in the ingredients list on all pre‐packed food, rather than within an allergy box or statement. Allergy boxes and statements may still be used to signpost co...

Preventing atopy and allergic disease.
Authors: Heine RG
Abstract
Due to the recent exponential increase in food allergies and atopic disorders, effective allergy prevention has become a public health priority in many developed regions. Important preventive strategies include the promotion of breastfeeding and vaginal deliveries, judicious use of perinatal antibiotics, as well as the avoidance of maternal tobacco smoking. Breastfeeding for at least 6 months and introduction of complementary solids from 4-6 months are generally recommended. Complex oligosaccharides in breast milk support the establishment of bifidobacteria in the neonatal gut which stimu...

Kiwifruit allergies.
Abstract
While kiwifruit has a high nutritive and health value, a small proportion of the world's population appears to be allergic to the fruit. IgE-mediated kiwifruit allergy is often associated with birch and grass pollinosis as well as with latex allergy. Isolated allergy to kiwifruit is also relatively common and often severe. Eleven green kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa cv. Hayward) allergens recognized to date are termed as Act d 1 through Act d 11. Bet v 1 homologue (Act d 8) and profilin (Act d 9) are important allergens in polysensitized subjects, whereas actinidin (Act d 1) is important in kiwifruit mono...

Possible prevention of food allergies in children with short bowel syndrome: A retrospective pediatric study
Conclusions Children weaned with hydrolyzed formula have an increased risk of developing cow's milk allergy in comparison to those weaned with amino acid-based formula and its use may have a role in the prevention of food allergies. The reduced length intestinal residual (<100 cm) is a risk factor for the development of allergic reactions.

Probiotics (Lactobacillus gasseri KS-13, Bifidobacterium bifidum G9-1, and Bifidobacterium longum MM-2) improve rhinoconjunctivitis-specific quality of life in individuals with seasonal allergies: a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial.
Conclusions: This combination probiotic improved rhinoconjunctivitis-specific quality of life during allergy season for healthy individuals with self-reported seasonal allergies; however, the associated mechanism is still unclear. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT02349711.

Comparison of nutrient intake in adolescents and adults with and without food allergies
ConclusionsThe dietary intake of food allergic participants was broadly similar and, in some cases, better than that of control participants. However, suboptimal intakes of several micronutrients were observed across all participants, suggesting poor food choices.

Food allergens: Classification, molecular properties, characterization, and detection in food sources.
Abstract
Food allergy is a large and growing public health problem in many areas of the world. The prevalence of food allergy has increased in the last decades in a very significant way in many world regions, particularly in developed countries. In that respect, the research field of food allergy has experienced an extensive growth and very relevant progress has been made in recent years regarding the characterization of food allergens, the study of their immunological properties, and their detection in food sources. Furthermore, food labeling policies have also been improved decidedly in recent years. For that im...

Lactobacillus plantarum 22A-3 exerts anti-allergic activity through TGF- β secretion in passive cutaneous anaphylaxis of mice.
In this study, Lactobacillus plantarum 22 A-3 (LP22A3) exerted an anti-allergic effect in passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) reaction and increased transforming growth factor (TGF)-β contents in blood. The increase of TGF-β contents in blood by exogenous TGF-β injection intraperitoneally decreased Evans blue release into mice ears to the same level as LP22A3 treatment in PCA reaction. LP22A3 treatment directly to RBL-2H3 cells shows no effect on β-hexosaminidase release from RBL-2H3 but inhibited its release using the Caco-2/RBL-2H3 cells co-culture system stimulated with LP22A3 from the apical side. Moreover, TGF-...

Identification and characterization of a basic thaumatin‐like protein (TLP 2) as an allergen in sapodilla plum (Manilkara zapota)
ConclusionThe causative allergen in sapodilla plum has been identified and characterized as a highly basic thaumatin‐like protein belonging to the pathogenesis‐related protein (PR–5) family, which has been recognized as a new family of conserved, cross‐reactive plant allergens.

Identification of Sola l 4 as Bet v 1 homologous pathogenesis related‐10 allergen in tomato fruits
ConclusionSola l 4, a novel pathogenesis related‐10 protein, qualifies as major allergen in tomato fruits. Data suggest Sola l 4 as class II allergen. IgE‐testing using Sola l 4 showed low clinical specificity, but high sensitivity in tomato allergic patients and will further improve component‐resolved allergy diagnosis.

Well: Allergies Are Everywhere
People hoping to find an allergy-free haven may be out of luck. A new study has found that no region of the United States is allergy-free, but the kind of allergy people are likely to suffer from varies by region, race and socioeconomic status.
