Milk allergy is the most common food allergy among young children, affecting 2% of children and up to 8.4% of those with atopic dermatitis [1,2]. Previously, milk allergic children were advised to strictly avoid foods that contain milk and traces of milk products. However, more recent studies demonstrated that 75% of milk allergic children are able to tolerate extensively heated (baked) milk pr...

The timing of introduction of solid food on the subsequent development of food allergy is under debate and the role of concurrent breastfeeding is unclear. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of solid food introduction whilst concurrently breastfeeding on food allergy outcome, with a specific focus on cows' milk allergy. Prospectively collected infant feeding data from a bi...

Introduction: Cow’s milk protein allergy is the most common food allergy in many countries, with clinical importance in different aspects. Synbiotic, a combination of probiotics and prebiotics, could be effective in the management of this allergy through modulating the immune system and improving the nutritional status. Methods: In this randomized, controlled trial, 32 infants with cow’s milk a...

Methods Patients with cow ́s milk allergy, over 4 years-old, were submitted to oral challenge with baked milk, from January to November, 2013, at Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil. The tested product was a muffin that contained 2,8 g milk protein and was baked at 350° F in an oven for 30 minutes. The challenge was made under physician supervision and at the first sign of allergy reaction it was ...

background: evidence has shown a link between allergic disease and inflammatory bowel diseases (ibds). we investigated food allergy in iranian pediatric ibd patients. materials and methods: a cross-sectional study was conducted on a consecutive sample of children with newly  diagnosed ibd referring to mofid children’s university hospital in tehran (iran) between november 2013 and march 2015.dat...

Specific oral tolerance induction to food (SOTI) is a new promising treatmentfor persistent IgE-mediatedfood allergy. Our paper reports a case of a 5-year-old girl with cow's milk allergy, who developed severe anaphylaxis after the ingestion of a croissant containing sheep's milk ricotta cheese, even though she had been previously desensitized to cow's milk through SOTI. The sheep's milk specif...

Background Cow’s milk allergy (CMA) is the commonest food allergy in UK children with many misleading presentations. In 2011, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) provided primary care guidelines on food allergy. In Northern Ireland (NI), a regional expert group was convened in 2012 to develop a CMA-focused guidance document, later published as Milk Allergy in Primary ca...

Component-resolved diagnostic (CRD) of cow's milk allergy has been performed using immunoaffinity capillary electrophoresis (IACE) coupled with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI MS). First, total IgE quantification in the blood serum of a milk allergic patient by the IACE-UV technique was developed using magnetic beads (MBs) coated with antihuman IgE antibodie...

BACKGROUND Cow's milk is the most common food allergen in infants and the diagnosis of cow's milk allergy is difficult, even with the use of several diagnostic tests. Therefore, elimination diets and challenge tests are essential for the diagnosis and treatment of this disorder. The aim of this study is to report the clinical presentation and nutritional status of children evaluated by pediatri...

Background: The natural history and the prognostic factors for food tolerance in childhood atopic dermatitis (AD) are poorly understood. Objective: We aimed at investigating the natural course of egg and milk allergy in children affected by AD and food allergy and identifying if the persistence of allergy is associated with high specific serum IgE (sIgE). Methods: The retrospective study includ...
