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...

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...

Cow's milk allergy (CMA) is the most common childhood food allergy, 1 affecting 2–3% of the general population. 2 After a correct diagnosis, complete avoidance of cow's milk proteins (CMP) is the only proven measure currently available to prevent symptoms. CMA is frequently detected in the first year of life when nutritional requirements are critical and adequate substitute is mandatory. Formul...

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...

Children with cow milk allergy are suspected to develop calcium metabolism disturbances. We observed increased markers of bone turnover in these children. Children with cow milk allergy are more prone to develop the disturbances of the bone mineralization even in the first year of life.

Turunen S, Karttunen TJ, Kokkonen J. J Pediatr. 2004; 145:606–611 Purpose of the Study. To investigate the incidence of cow’s milk allergy as evidenced by milk challenge and the findings of endoscopic and immunohistochemical examinations in children with chronic and refractory constipation. Study Population. Thirty-five children aged 3 to 15 years with recalcitrant constipation and 15 control s...
