Blind food challenge testing with wide-open eyes.

Author: BahnaS L

Improved food allergy diagnosis

The most accurate way to confirm a food allergy is through a double-blind, placebo-controlled challenge test. However, single-blind testing is often sufficient in routine clinical practice. Open challenge testing may be acceptable for young children or less likely foods. It is important to avoid challenge tests when the food has caused a life-threatening reaction. Care should be taken in planning, conducting, and interpreting these tests to ensure accuracy.

Food allergy in children: results of a standardized protocol for oral desensitization.

Author: PatriarcaG, SchiavinoD, NuceraE, SchincoG, MilaniA, GasbarriniG B

Improved food allergy treatment

This paper proposes a standardized treatment program for food allergies in children, using oral desensitization. The authors note that food allergies in children are a challenging issue, particularly when the food is essential for growth. Existing research on desensitization treatments is limited and inconsistent. This new protocol aims to provide a more structured approach to helping children with food allergies.

Oral desensitizing treatment in food allergy: clinical and immunological results.

Author: PatriarcaG, NuceraE, RoncalloC, PollastriniE, BartolozziF, De PasqualeT, BuonomoA, GasbarriniG, Di CampliC, SchiavinoD

Food allergy treatment
Mild side effects

Oral desensitization in food allergy patients showed promising results in a study of 59 patients. The majority successfully completed the treatment, with mild side effects easily managed with antihistamines or sodium cromolyn. Significant decreases in specific immunoglobulin E and increases in specific immunoglobulin G4 were observed, suggesting potential for oral tolerance mediated by similar mechanisms as traditional desensitization treatments for respiratory allergies.

Acute allergic reactions in children with AEDS after prolonged cow's milk elimination diets.

Author: FlintermanA E, KnulstA C, MeijerY, Bruijnzeel-KoomenC A F M, PasmansS G M A

Allergic reactions to cow's milk

Children with atopic eczema dermatitis syndrome (AEDS) who were on a cow's milk (CM) elimination diet for a median of 2.3 years were found to have a high chance of developing acute allergic reactions to CM after accidental ingestion during the elimination period. Double-blind placebo-controlled food challenge (DBPCFC) revealed that all 11 children experienced acute allergic reactions to CM, despite having no previous problems with CM intake before the elimination period.

Specific oral tolerance induction in food allergy in children: efficacy and clinical patterns of reaction.

Author: StadenU, Rolinck-WerninghausC, BreweF, WahnU, NiggemannB, BeyerK

Increased tolerance threshold
Allergic reactions

Specific oral tolerance induction (SOTI) showed promise as a treatment for persistent food allergies, with 36% of children developing permanent tolerance to cow's milk or hen's egg allergy. While elimination diets also led to tolerance in some cases, SOTI offered the advantage of a higher threshold dose for allergic reactions and reduced risk of severe reactions after accidental ingestion. However, careful monitoring during SOTI is crucial.

Author: TangMimi L K, PonsonbyAnne-Louise, OrsiniFrancesca, TeyDean, RobinsonMarnie, SuEe Lyn, LicciardiPaul, BurksWesley, DonathSusan

Improved peanut allergy
Adverse events

This study found that a combined therapy of probiotics and peanut oral immunotherapy (OIT) was effective in inducing possible sustained unresponsiveness and immune changes that suggest modulation of the peanut-specific immune response. 82.1% of children receiving the combined therapy achieved sustained unresponsiveness compared to 3.6% of children receiving placebo. The combined therapy was associated with a greater number of adverse events, mostly with maintenance home dosing.

Oral Immunotherapy for Egg Allergy: A Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Study, with Postdesensitization Follow-Up.

Author: CaminitiLucia, PajnoGiovanni B, CrisafulliGiuseppe, ChieraFernanda, ColluraMirella, PanasciGirolamo, RuggeriPaolo, GuglielmoFrancesco, PassalacquaGiovanni

Food allergy treatment

Oral immunotherapy (OIT) is a potential treatment for food allergies in children. It's unclear whether OIT simply makes the body less sensitive to the food (desensitization), which would require continued exposure, or whether it leads to true tolerance, where the ability to eat the food would remain even after stopping treatment.

Does atopic dermatitis cause food allergy? A systematic review.

Author: TsakokTeresa, MarrsTom, MohsinMahrose, BaronSusannah, du ToitGeorge, TillStephen, FlohrCarsten

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is strongly associated with food allergy (FA), with a prevalence of food sensitization up to 6 times higher in AD patients compared to healthy controls. FA is also associated with a more severe AD phenotype, earlier onset, and increased persistence. Evidence suggests that AD may precede the development of FA, supporting a causal relationship.
