“…There are a limited number of studies evaluating the nutrient status of children allergic to milk, but in a sample of 2- to 17-year-old US children, cow’s milk allergy was associated with decreased growth and a trend toward lower vitamin D intake [25]. In our study, milk allergy was associated with a lower vitamin D status.…”

Background/Aims: Vitamin D insufficiency is common in children. We aimed to evaluate the main determinants of vitamin D status in Finnish school-aged children, including the history of allergic diseases. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study on 171 ten-year-olds where serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) levels were measured, and data on food consumption and use of vitamin D supplements were collected. The history of allergic diseases was evaluated with a validated questionnaire. Results: Vitamin D insufficiency (<50 nmol/L) was observed in 16% of the children. In children with a history of cow’s milk allergy, the mean 25(OH)D levels were lower than in children without allergy (60.5 ± 12.6 nmol/L vs. 75.5 ± 22.3 nmol/L, p = 0.004). Lack of vitamin D supplementation, female gender, non-Caucasian ethnicity, and a history of milk allergy were associated with lower vitamin D status. Conclusion: The vitamin D status in our study sample of Finnish schoolchildren was sufficient, which suggests that health policy strategies – such as the recommendation of vitamin D supplementation and the fortification of food products with vitamin D – have been successful in improving vitamin D status in children. Special concern should be given to children with a history of milk allergy to ensure their vitamin D sufficiency.

“…These have been mostly small studies of less than 100 participants, recruited from tertiary allergy centers, [3][4][5][6][7] and showed current food allergy to be associated with lower weight, 4,6,7 underweight, 3,5 and stunting. 5 Certain groups seem more affected, particularly those with cow's milk 8,9 or multiple allergies. 3 A few large studies have recently been published [8][9][10][11] showing that children with some types of food allergy have lower weight, height, and BMI than those without; however, only 2 of these were population representative, and none used the gold standard of oral food challenge (OFC) to diagnose food allergy.…”

“…More recent studies expanded the research to children with multiple FAs and found, similarly to patients with only CMA, that affected children on elimination diets are still significantly smaller and/or lighter compared to healthy control subjects or to the general paediatric population [13-18]. A multicentre study performed in Brazil on a cohort of children with CMA depicted even higher levels of stunting and wasting in comparison to European and US studies, which might be explained by a higher prevalence of underweight children in Latin America per se.…”

“…This finding implies that the aetiology of stunted growth is far more complex than being a simple consequence of the inappropriate elimination diet. An important exception, however, is CMA, which more so than others can contribute more significantly to poor growth [14, 17, 18]. The impact of CM avoidance is particularly pronounced in infancy when it is the main source of nutrients [17].…”

Background: The prevalence of food allergy in children is increasing worldwide. Strict avoidance of identified allergens from the diet is still the cornerstone of the management of food allergies. There are widespread concerns that food allergy and elimination diet may predispose children to nutrient deficiencies and growth failure. Aim: The aim of this paper was to review the current evidence on growth of children suffering from food allergy. Summarised is literature on the effects of the number and type of offending allergens, the child’s age and affected organ system, as well as the importance of supervision by a dietician/nutritionist. Conclusion: Children suffering from food allergy are stunted at the time of diagnosis and during the elimination diets, irrespective whether or not their nutritional requirements were fulfilled, and/or were under the control of a dietician. This underscores the need for further studies to obtain more precise insight into and better understanding of the mechanisms contributing to growth failure in children suffering from food allergy.
