cow's milk, is produced by a rejection of milk proteins, and is manifested by skin symptoms (eczema, urticaria), gastrointestinal (flatulence, diarrhea) and respiratory (asthma). Once the diagnosis is the only truly effective treatment is a strict dietary elimination of these proteins, as small amounts, but not produce symptoms, they may favor the persistence or increased awareness. As a replacement, there are other formulas with intact protein source (soybean) and extensively hydrolyzed formulas. Partially hydrolyzed formulas should never be used in the treatment of allergy to milk, as a percentage of their proteins can preserve their allergenic power. The prognosis of allergy to milk proteins is favorable, sending most of the cases before 3 years of evolution. Sometimes this allergy is not diagnosed, and encourages other food allergies. Egg: The proteins in egg whites are the most problematic. Atopic dermatitis and asthma are common manifestations of egg allergy. This allergy usually occurs before age 2 and go from 2 to 5 years after onset. The only treatment is to avoid drinking alcohol. Keep in mind that there are many products that may contain components of the egg, and not always be indicated on labels.
ripened cheeses: Milk proteins they contain can cause allergy. Also lysozyme, a protein egg that is used in the manufacture of some cheeses cause allergy. Amines containing cheeses, such as tyramine and histamine, promote allergic reactions.
Seafood: Your own proteins, histamine is formed by decomposing (highly antigenic protein) and the parasite Anisakis simplex can cause allergic reactions in raising more durable and can last decades or even lifetime.
Spices: They can cause contact allergy, inhalation of dust off and swallowed.
Nuts: Can cause allergies especially in children, occurring with eczema, so its use should be deferred until after the year of age.
Fruits: Kiwi, papaya, avocado, banana, strawberries, raspberries, currants are the most common fruits that have been identified as a cause of allergy.
CROSS REACTIONS
Speaking of food allergy, be borne in mind that families provide food "allergies" that can cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals . Ie a child who is allergic to cow's milk has a greater awareness of beef and veal, ox ..., who is allergic to chocolate, it can be to cocoa and cola. In the family of peas are also included peanuts, dried beans, licorice and gum tragacanth (E-413). A family owned rose strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries and other varieties of raspberry.
new allergens
are continually discovering new allergens. For example, Anisakis simplex is a parasite that contaminates various fish. Only if the parasite is taken alive by consuming raw or undercooked fish can cause an allergic reaction. Is destroyed by freezing and cooking.
additives responsible for the greatest number of cases of allergy are certain dyes, preservatives and antioxidants. Although always be ruled out an allergic reaction to drugs, when a patient, usually a child, has mild rash or more after ingestion of different composition syrups, most likely in the case of an allergic reaction to food additives, dyes or flavorings, syrups. This kind of additives reactions almost never occurs in the first shots, but as treatment progresses and the bottle will end. This is because these reactions are dose-dependent, that is displayed when the greater the amount taken from the syrup with additives (eg, strawberry syrup, banana ...).
TIPS FOR FAMILIES OF CHILDREN ALLERGIC TO FOOD
• If you believe a food allergy causes the child, talk to your doctor and do not make experiments to confirm.
• If you know what food or foods your child is allergic, avoid that burn. • Check
Ingredients found on product labels (if the baby is allergic to eggs, for example, has to avoid ingredients such as albumin, lysozyme, lecithin do not specify that it is soy).
• Put others aware of the status of your child (teachers, caregivers, etc.).. • When the child
eating out, ask for the food ingredients. If there is any doubt about what's on your plate, you should not eat it.
