“…The tests in the children showed less allergic reaction to camel milk and that it can be a safe alternative to goat milk. ( 26 ). In another study, researchers tested two patients, aged 3 years 6 months and 2 years 3 months, respectively, with CMA, using a prick test with food antigens and prick-by-prick test with powder CM and full cream cow’s milk.…”

IntroductionCamel milk is the closest to a human mother’s milk. Camel milk is different from other milks, however, having low sugar and cholesterol, high minerals (sodium, potassium, iron, copper, zinc and magnesium, and vitamin C). The milk is considered have medicinal characteristics as well. This systematic review is aimed at determining and reporting nutritional values and medicinal characteristics of camel milk in children.MethodsThe search strategy of the current review is “(camel AND milk) AND (autism OR food allergy OR milk allergy OR children OR diarrhea.” The search was conducted via PubMed, Scopus, and Google scholar. Also two Persian scientific databases (SID and Iranmedex) and international congresses were investigated. Full-text papers and abstracts on the topic of camel milk, evaluating nutritional value and medicinal properties, were included in this systematic review.ResultsOut of the 472 records found in the resources, 35 related studies were included in the final analysis. The result showed that camel milk is highly nutritious and is safe for consumption by children.ConclusionIt seems that many researchers did not follow a specific guideline for reporting and confirming the therapeutic properties of camel milk in children, but there is evidence denoting the importance, trials, and investigations of its usability and benefits. Camel milk as a supplemental treatment seems less invasive and costly than specialist care, medications, alternative treatments, and behavioral interventions. Based on our findings, camel milk is safer for children, effective in the treatment of autism, improves general well-being, promotes body natural defenses, is a good nutritional source, and can helps the daily nutritional needs of humans.

Region-specific recommendations for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA) are not available in Turkey. This crosssectional questionnaire-survey was designed to evaluate CMPA awareness and practice among Turkish pediatricians. A total of 410 pediatricians were included based on their voluntary participation. Questionnaires elicited demographic data and pediatricians' awareness and practice of CMPA in infants and children. Atopic dermatitis (91.5%), diarrhea (88.0%) and significant blood in stool (85.9%) were the most common symptoms considered suggestive of CMPA. Continuation of breast feeding via elimination of CMP containing products from maternal diet was the most commonly selected (79.0%) therapeutic option in exclusively breast-fed infants diagnosed with CMPA. Amino acid-based formula was the most commonly selected formula in a non-exclusively breast-fed infant with CMPA, for infants presenting with anaphylaxis (58.8%), enterocolitis (40.7%) or multiple food allergies (52.0%), and also for at-risk infants (40.2%). Earliest time to re-challenge was identified to be 6 months by 52.0% of pediatricians. In conclusion, our findings revealed high awareness of CMPA among Turkish pediatricians in terms of clinical presentation and first priority diagnostic tests. However, CMPA practice among Turkish pediatricians needs to be improved in terms of avoidance of other mammalian milks, selection of therapeutic formulas among non-exclusively breast-fed infants and at-risk infants consistent with guideline-based indications and cost-effectivity.

Consensus statement on diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of cow's milk protein allergy among infants and children in Turkey

et al. 2016

The present paper aims to provide experts' consensus on diagnosis and management of cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA) among infants and children in Turkey, based on review of available evidence-based guidelines, publications and experts' clinical experience. The experts agreed that CMPA diagnosis should be based on symptomatic evaluation and diagnostic elimination diet as followed by implementation of an open challenge test after disappearance of symptoms and confirmation of CMPA diagnosis in re-appearance of symptoms. For breastfed infants, differential diagnosis involves withdrawal of cow's milk-containing products from the mother's diet, while calcium supplements and appropriate dietary advice are given to mothers to prevent nutritional deficiency. For infants not breastfed exclusively, cow's milk-based formula and any complementary food containing cow's milk protein (CMP) should be avoided. The first line treatment should be extensively hydrolyzed formula (eHF) with use of amino acid-based formula (AAF) in severe cases such as anaphylaxis, enteropathy, eosinophilic esophagitis and food protein induced enterocolitis along with cases of multiple system involvement, multiple food allergies and intolerance to eHF. Introduction of supplementary foods should not be delayed in CMPA, while should be made one by one in small amounts and only after the infant is at least 17 weeks of age. Infants who are at-risk can be identified by family history of atopic disease. Exclusive breastfeeding for 4-6 months (17-27 weeks) is recommended as the best method of infant allergy prevention. There is no evidence that modifying the mother's diet during pregnancy and/or breast-feeding and delaying solid or even potentially allergic foods beyond 4-6 months in infants may be protective against allergy among at-risk infants. When exclusive breastfeeding is not possible, at-risk infants should get a partially or extensively hydrolyzed formula (pHF or eHF) to prevent allergy until risk evaluation by a health professional. In conclusion, the present consensus statement provides recommendations regarding diagnosis, prevention and management of CMPA in infants and children in Turkey, and thus expected to guide physicians to optimize their approach to CMPA and decrease burden of the disease on infants and their caregivers.
