“…Eliminating multiple foods was found to have a negative correlation with HRQoL in our cohort, which has also been reported in children with IgE‐mediated food allergy . It has been shown that anxiety increases in children if food elimination includes two or more foods and this could have contributed to the poorer emotional HRQoL seen in our cohort.…”

“…Amongst adolescents, FA, but also FRS without known background mechanisms, are associated with poorer health-related quality of life compared to healthy controls [16, 17]. Yet, health-related quality of life does not appear to differ between the phenotypes [18]. Moreover, both phenotypes burden healthcare systems [19, 20], society [21] and households [21, 22].…”

Food-Related Symptoms and Food Allergy in Swedish Children from Early Life to Adolescence

BackgroundRisk factors for persistence of food-related symptoms (FRS) and food allergy (FA) from early life to adolescence are incompletely understood. The aim of this study was to identify risk factors for FRS and FA in adolescence amongst children with FRS or FA in the first four years of life (early life).MethodsIn children enrolled in a Swedish birth cohort and followed to 16 years (n = 2572), we defined children with early life FRS in the absence of FA, and FA. Corresponding phenotypes were defined at 16 years. Associations between potential risk factors at 4 years and FRS and FA at 16 years were investigated using logistic regression.ResultsEarly life FRS and FA prevalences were 12.2% and 6.8%, respectively. Amongst children with early life FRS, 35.7% had FRS or FA at 16 years, whereas 74.3% of the children with early life FA had FA at 16 years. For each of the early life phenotypes, parental allergy, early life allergic multimorbidity, early life reactions to peanuts/tree nuts and IgE reactivity at 4 years were statistically significantly associated with FRS or FA at 16 years. In contrast, male sex was associated with an increased risk of FA at 16 years among children with early life FA only.ConclusionsIn early life, food-related symptoms are twice as common as food allergy. Unlike food allergy, food-related symptoms often remit by adolescence. Yet, these phenotypes have many common risk factors for persistence to adolescence.

“…However, a study from the United Kingdom (UK) 11 indicated that about 30%-40% of peanut and tree nut allergic individuals are not sensitized to other tree nuts and tolerate these in their diets.

“…Previous recommendations advised peanut allergic individuals to avoid all tree nuts because of the likelihood of multiple tree nut allergies, and the high risk of cross-contact/contamination during processing. However, a study from the United Kingdom (UK) 11 indicated that about 30%-40% of peanut and tree nut allergic individuals are not sensitized to other tree nuts and tolerate these in their diets. In addition, a retrospective case series from the United States (USA) indicates that many individuals with a specific tree nut allergy pass oral food challenges to other tree nuts even when sensitized.…”

Food allergy is becoming increasingly common in infants and young children. This article set out to explain the different factors that should be taken into account during an individualized allergy consultation: Foods to avoid and degree of avoidance, suitable alternatives, self-management skills, co- and cross-reactive allergens and novel allergens alongside the role of the industry in allergen avoidance, importance of nutritional aspects of the diet and the future directions that nutritional guidance make take. Allergy management advice should be individualized to provide a patient-specific approach. Changes in the management of food allergies have in particular occurred in nut, milk and egg allergies over the past few years. There has also been a progressive increase in our understanding of cross-reactivity between different foods and also food and aero-allergens. A patient-specific approach of allergen avoidance should consider factors relating to industry and the environment such as food and nutrition literacy, threshold levels, cross-contact/contamination and safe eating away from home. Increasing migration and travel has also led to exposure of unfamiliar foods. As understanding improves on individual allergens and threshold levels, food labels and food labelling laws are affected. Allergy specialist dietitians should also keep up to date with the latest information on nutrition, the gut microbiome and the immune system to incorporate nutrition strategies in a dietetic consultation using an evidence-based approach.
