Is There a Diet for Histamine Intolerance?
The incidence of food allergies and intolerances appears to be increasing in the United States in both children and adults. The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology defines a food intolerance (or sensitivity) as an event that affects the digestive system after eating a particular food.1 A food allergy, in comparison, involves the immune system, produces a repeatable response, and can be confirmed with a series of tests.

Prebiotic effect during the first year of life in healthy infants fed formula containing GOS as the only prebiotic: a multicentre, randomised, double-blind and placebo-controlled trial
Conclusions The feeding of GOS-containing infant formula produced a definite prebiotic effect consisting of changes in faecal composition and microbiota, and in faecal consistency and the frequency of defaecation. No changes in the incidence of infection or allergic manifestation during the first year of life were observed.

Feeding probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus (MTCC 5897) fermented milk to suckling mothers alleviates ovalbumin-induced allergic sensitisation in mice offspring.
Abstract The neonatal period is often polarised to T helper (Th2) response at the time of birth, predisposing offspring to allergic disorders. Passive immunity through the mother's milk is critical for immune system development of newborns. Probiotics have been proposed to harmonise Th1/Th2 imbalance in allergic conditions in adults. In the present study, the anti-allergic effects of feeding probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus-fermented milk (PFM) either to dams during the suckling period or to their offspring after weaning individually or else in successive periods against ovalbumin (OVA)-induced allergy in newborn...

Two nonspecific lipid transfer proteins (nsLTPs) from tomato seeds are associated to severe symptoms of tomato‐allergic patients
ConclusionWe herein described two novel allergens from tomato seeds that belong to the nonspecific lipid transfer protein family classes 1 and 2, respectively. This is the first work associating IgE reactivity to these proteins with severe symptoms of certain tomato‐allergic patients. Therefore, they are optimal candidates for clarifying the diagnosis of the tomato allergy. Sola l 7 and Sola l 6 are two allergenic nonspecific lipid transfer proteins, class 1 and 2, respectively, which have been purified from tomato seeds. Both allergens displayed primary structure differences with respect to Sola l 3, their Lipid transf...

Using Food and Nutritional Strategies to Induce Tolerance in Food-Allergic Children.
Authors: Nowak-Węgrzyn A Abstract Food allergy is an important and increasing public health problem worldwide, affecting predominantly infants and young children. There is an urgent need to develop effective treatment strategies to restore oral tolerance in food-allergic individuals. Among diverse research approaches, those involving native or heat-modified food proteins are most advanced and are currently being evaluated in clinical trials. Extensively heated (baked) milk and egg diets have already been adopted in clinical practice and benefit the majority of milk- and egg-allergic children. Oral, sublingual and ...

Proteins, Peptides and Amino Acids: Role in Infant Nutrition.
In conclusion, proteins provided via breast milk or infant formula are essential components of the infant's diet; therefore, the specific quality, quantity and conformation of proteins are of utmost importance for healthy growth and development. PMID: 27336588 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Oral Immunotherapy for Food Allergies
Oral immunotherapy (OIT) is a promising investigational therapy for food allergy. Clinical trials in peanut, milk, egg, and wheat allergy provide evidence that OIT can effectively desensitize a majority of individuals to a food allergen. While a portion of subjects demonstrate sustained unresponsiveness, the majority regain sensitivity with allergen avoidance. The safety and tolerability of OIT continue to limit its use in some patients. Virtually all studies report adverse reactions that are more frequent during dose escalation but may also occur during maintenance therapy. Recent studies have identified adjunctive therap...

A dietary intervention with non-digestible oligosaccharides and partial hydrolysed whey protein prevents the onset of food allergic symptoms in mice
Publication date: Available online 2 December 2016 Source:PharmaNutrition Author(s): Betty C.A.M. van Esch, Atanaska I. Kostadinova, Johan Garssen, Linette E.M. Willemsen, Léon M.J. Knippels Strategies to prevent food allergy to common food such as cow’s milk are important because there is no causal treatment available yet. Oral tolerance induction is of great importance for allergy prevention which is strongly dependent on allergen exposure and proper immune environment. Improving the efficacy of oral tolerance with adjuvants is a promising new strategy. In the current study, we investigated non-digestible oligosaccha...

The BASALIT multicenter trial: Gly m 4 quantification for consistency control of challenge meal batches and toward Gly m 4 threshold data
ConclusionThe novel Gly m 4 specific ELISA proved consistency of challenge meal batches over a 56‐month study period. With an average of 178 μg/g Gly m 4 in SPI, Gly m 4 lowest observed adverse effect level can be calculated once clinical lowest observed adverse effect level data based on SPI are available. Hence, sensitivity of patients can be correlated to the relevant allergen content instead of total protein of the allergenic source. For soy food challenge of patients with birch‐associated and Gly m 4 allergen mediated soy allergy, consistently stable Gly m 4 levels were required in standardized challenge m...

Update on Timing and Source of 'Allergenic' Foods.
Authors: Palmer DJ Abstract As the prevalence of food allergies in many communities continues to rise, the question of when in infancy to introduce any solid foods, or specific 'more allergenic' foods, as a food allergy prevention strategy has been debated. Observational studies have found that introducing any solid foods prior to 4 months of age was associated with an increased risk of allergic disease. Hence, the current allergy prevention consensus recommendation is that the introduction of any solid foods should commence after 4 months of age. Over recent years, several randomized controlled trials have been co...

Bacterial Colonization of the Newborn Gut, Immune Development, and Prevention of Disease.
Authors: Walker WA Abstract We now know that the fetus does not reside in a sterile intrauterine environment but is exposed to commensal bacteria from the maternal gut which cross the placenta and infiltrate the amniotic fluid. This exposure to colonizing bacteria continues at birth and during the first year of life, and it has a profound influence on lifelong health. Why is this important? Cross talk with colonizing bacteria in the developing neonatal intestine helps in the initial adaptation of the infant to extrauterine life, particularly in acquiring immune homeostasis, and provides protection against disease e...

Intake of Diet Including 1% Ovomucoid for 4 Weeks Induces Oral Desensitization in Ovomucoid-Specific Allergic Mouse Model.
Authors: Maeta A, Sakamoto Y, Yuki S, Takahashi K Abstract We propose a new oral immunotherapy (OIT) method that includes a small amount of a food allergen in the diet. However, it is not clear whether this method will induce oral desensitization and immune tolerance. Therefore, we investigated the therapeutic effectiveness using a 1% food allergen diet in an allergic mouse model. C3H/HeJ mice were sensitized to ovomucoid (OM) in alum four times at 12-d intervals. Sensitized mice were divided into two groups: the OIT group (19% casein diet with 1% OM) and the non-treated group (20% casein diet without OM). The non-...

Partially hydrolyzed formula in non-exclusively breastfed infants:a systematic review and expert consensus
Childhood atopic diseases are becoming increasingly common in both high- and low-income countries,[1] and are a major public health concern.[2] Family history has long been considered an important risk factor for atopic disease.[3] However,>50% of allergic children have no family history of atopy.[4,5] The role of family atopic history as a risk factor for the development of food allergy remains unclear, in light of recent studies of peanut and egg allergy.[6]
