This European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology guideline provides recommendations for diagnosing IgE‐mediated food allergy and was developed using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations (GRADE) approach. Food allergy diagnosis starts with an allergy‐focused clinical history followed by tests to determine IgE sensitization, such as serum allergen‐specific...
The role of nutrition is increasingly recognized in the management of chronic immune diseases. However, the role of an immune‐supportive diet as adjuvant therapy in the management of allergic disease has not been similarly explored. This review assesses the existing evidence for a relationship between nutrition, immune function, and allergic disease from a clinical perspective. In addition, the authors...
Background
There is substantial interest in immunotherapy and biologicals in IgE‐mediated food allergy.
Methods
We searched six databases for randomized controlled trials about immunotherapy alone or with biologicals (to April 2021) or biological monotherapy (to September 2021) in food allergy confirmed by oral food challenge. We pooled the data using random‐effects meta‐analysis.
Results
We...
Background
Food anaphylaxis is commonly elicited by unintentional ingestion of foods containing the allergen above the tolerance threshold level of the individual. While labeling the 14 main allergens used as ingredients in food products is mandatory in the EU, there is no legal definition of declaring potential contaminants. Precautionary allergen labeling such as “may contain traces of” is often...
It remains uncertain as to whether nutrient supplementation for the general population considered healthy could be useful in the prevention of RTIs, such as COVID‐19. In this systematic review and meta‐analysis, the evidence was evaluated for primary prevention of any viral respiratory tract infection (RTI) such as SARS‐CoV‐2, through supplementation of nutrients with a recognized role in immune function:...
It is well‐established that food proteins, such as egg, soya, cow's milk and wheat, are detectable in breastmilk for many hours or days after ingestion. Exposure to these proteins is important to the process of developing tolerance but can also sometimes elicit IgE‐mediated and non–IgE‐mediated allergic symptoms in breastfed infants. Non–IgE‐mediated allergy, outside of food protein‐induced allergic...
