Food-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis (FDEIA), is a severe form of allergy for which the ingestion of a specific food, usually before physical exercise induces symptoms of anaphylaxis. Patients typically have IgE antibodies to the food that triggers the reactions; however, the symptoms appear only if the co-factors act together. The most common reported cause of these reactions seems to be wheat. In some cases FDEIA is displayed even when the food is eaten immediately after exercise, showing that in FDEIA, not the sequence but rather the coincidence of triggering factors use, is of crucial importance. The risk to develop anaphylaxis in these patients depends on the presence and, in some cases, on the amount of cofactors of anaphylaxis. There are lots of evidences about the role of NSAIDs as cofactors of anaphylaxis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
