“…31 If the nutrient loss hypothesis is assumed to be true, current nutritional recommendations may be insufficient to guarantee the adequate nutritional status of allergic children, 3 in particular those with atopic dermatitis. 11,32 Further studies into this subject are necessary in order to provide more information which would allow greater security in the dietary guidance of patients with cow s milk allergies on elimination diets.…”

Objective: To assess the food intake and the nutritional status of children on a cow s milk and cow s milk by-products free diet.Methods: Twenty-six children receiving a cow s milk and cow s milk by-products free diet were assessed during their first visit to the Pediatric Gastroenterology Clinic (mean age = 19.1 months). Thirty children with no food restriction (mean age = 16.8 months) were also assessed. The usual daily food intake method was used to make the dietary assessment. The food intake was compared between the groups and in relation to the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs). The z-scores for weight/age, height/age and weight/height were used to evaluate the nutritional status.Results: The cow s milk free diet group presented lower energy (p = 0.005), protein (p < 0.001), lipid (p < 0.001), calcium (p < 0.001) and phosphorous (p < 0.001) intake when compared to the control group. The number of children who had energy, calcium and phosphorous intake below the DRIs was higher in the cow s milk free diet group than in the control group. The z-score means for the cow s milk free diet and control groups were, respectively: height/age -0.81±1.06 vs +0.42±1.25 (p < 0.001), weight/age -1.03±1.21 vs +0.02±0.91 (p < 0.001), and weight/height -0.63±1.08 vs +0.30±1.11 (p = 0.004).Conclusions: During the cow s milk and cow s milk by-products exclusion therapy, qualitative and quantitative food intake monitoring must be carried out periodically, so as to prevent inadequacies in meeting nutritional requirements and impairment of growth and development.

“…In a study of patients with perennial rhinitis, 8% reported being 'moderately' or 'severely' troubled by their rhinitis symptoms [14]. Chronic urticaria and eczema can disrupt sleep and restrict or impair daily activities [15,16], whilst unconfirmed 'allergy' to foods or antibiotics can lead to unnecessary avoidance and sub-optimal nutrition or costly treatment [17][18][19][20]. Recognition of allergy symptoms can be helpful in identifying patients at risk of more severe symptoms; a suspicion of food allergy in patients with asthma, for example, should prompt specialist referral as these patients are at an increased risk of fatal anaphylaxis [21][22][23][24].…”

SummaryAllergic diseases affect 20-30% of the UK population and when severe are associated with considerable morbidity and occasional mortality. Initiatives to improve allergy services in the UK have been led by consultant allergists and have focussed on increasing the number of hospital training posts to improve access to specialist services. A high profile campaign to raise awareness of the lack of allergy services has so far failed to generate further training numbers for allergy as a single specialty. Although the campaign to improve tertiary allergy services continues, most mild or moderate allergy symptoms (e.g. hayfever, allergic asthma, urticaria and some food allergy problems), can be managed successfully in primary care with appropriate interest and training. Despite the high and increasing numbers of patients with allergy and the ease with which the majority of symptoms can be controlled, many doctors in primary care are reluctant to take a more proactive approach to managing allergic conditions. This appears to be due to concerns about overburdening an already busy service, but may also be due to recommendations from allergy specialists which have implied that high quality allergy care is not possible without identification of specific allergic triggers using skin prick tests or blood tests. In reality, symptoms can usually be controlled using pharmacotherapy, although a working knowledge of the appropriate guidelines is helpful. In this paper,we propose minimum levels of knowledge for all practitioners in order to raise the standards of primary care allergy management, and provide recommendations for * Corresponding author. training for those wishing to manage successfully more difficult allergy cases and allergy diagnosis.
