Potential therapies for food allergy: a review.
Abstract CME EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES1.Understand the numerous food allergy therapies, both allergen specific and non-specific, currently under investigation.2.Discuss the safety concerns that accompany potential food allergy treatments.3.Appreciate the difference between desensitization and tolerance as they relate to food allergy. Food allergy is a widespread problem that has been increasing in prevalence in recent years. Avoidance of food allergens is difficult. Food allergic reactions are common and can be severe. Unfortunately, there is little in the way of therapies for food allergy, and strict allergen avoida...

Food allergy in children with hypogammaglobulinemia
Conclusions Food allergy is a common health problem coexisting with antibody production defects in infants and young children. Clinical symptoms correlate better with low immunoglobulin levels than with serum IgE, that is not a suitable diagnostic criterion for allergic disease in patients with hypogammaglobulinemia.

A practical view of immunotherapy for food allergy.
Authors: Song TW Abstract Food allergy is common and sometimes life threatening for Korean children. The current standard treatment of allergen avoidance and self-injectable epinephrine does not change the natural course of food allergy. Recently, oral, sublingual, and epicutaneous immunotherapies have been studied for their effectiveness against food allergy. While various rates of desensitization (36% to 100%) and tolerance (28% to 75%) have been induced by immunotherapies for food allergy, no single established protocol has been shown to be both effective and safe. In some studies, immunologic changes after immu...

The role of the gastroenterologist in non-IgE mediated gastrointestinal food allergy
The prevalence of food allergy has been on the rise in the UK over the last 30 years. Food allergy can be classified as Immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated, non-IgE mediated or mixed IgE and non-IgE mediated food allergy. Whilst the management of IgE-mediated food allergy is relatively well established with regards to investigations and treatment options, non-IgE mediated food allergy management is emerging. The role of the gastroenterologist in food allergy is in the management of non-IgE mediated gastrointestinal food allergy, which is performed closely alongside allergologists.

Allergy march of Chinese children with infantile allergic symptoms: a prospective multi-center study.
CONCLUSIONS: A high proportion (47.32%) of Chinese infants with early allergic symptoms developed respiratory allergies by their early school years. Most food-sensitized infants outgrew their condition several years later, but then aeroallergen sensitization often occurred. Amino-acid-based formula showed no advantages over soy protein-based formula with respect to arresting the allergy march. PMID: 28276001 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Systematic review: Early infant feeding practices and the risk of wheat allergy
ConclusionsBased on limited evidence, the influence of breastfeeding and an early exposure to gluten on the risk of wheat allergy remain uncertain. There is no evidence supporting breastfeeding at gluten introduction as modifying the risk. Early introduction of gluten might reduce the risk of sensitisation, but currently, no evidence exists that it affects the risk of wheat allergy.

An update on the impact of food allergy on anxiety and quality of life
Purpose of review: Food allergies have become more common, and management involves dietary avoidance that can impair quality of life. Patients and families must manage the daily risk of anaphylaxis at each meal. The purpose of this review is to describe the impact of food allergies on quality of life and to provide an update on new developments in food allergy management, particularly peanut allergy. Recent findings: Food allergy requires careful avoidance of common and ubiquitous dietary allergens. Living with food allergy is associated with annual economic costs in excess of $4000 per child, in addition to risks of anxi...

Food Allergy in Children: An Overview
AbstractThe estimated prevalence of food allergy amongst children in the west is around 6 –8% but there is paucity of data in the Indian population. There is a complex interplay of environmental influences and genetic factors in the immuno-pathogenesis and manifestations of food allergy. A reliable thorough clinical history, combined with positive skin prick tests or food-specific IgE, is essential for a more precise diagnosis of food allergy. Currently there is no cure for food allergy. The management of food allergy usually includes strict avoidance, patient education and provision of emergency medication (adrenaline-a...

Cow milk protein allergy and other common food allergies and intolerances.
Authors: Manuyakorn W, Tanpowpong P Abstract The prevalence of food allergy and food intolerance is increasing and it is an important public health problem affecting children. Food allergy results from an immunological reaction to certain food(s) and affects numerous organs in the body. Food intolerances are non-immunological reactions including metabolic, toxic, pharmacological and undefined mechanisms. Cow milk is the most common cause of food allergy and food intolerance, especially in young children. Food intolerance can present with similar symptoms to those of food allergy. Health-care personnel, patients and...

Milk allergy is a minor cause of milk avoidance due to perceived hypersensitivity among schoolchildren in Northern Sweden
ConclusionThe most common symptom phenotypes among Swedish children aged 11‐12 with self‐reported milk hypersensitivity and milk avoidance, were lactose intolerance and outgrown milk allergy while current milk allergy was uncommon. Children with milk allergy had a lower BMI and most lacked a challenge proven diagnosis.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
