...the digestive tract. When someone says they have a food allergy, most people think of symptoms like anaphylaxis or hives or an itchy, swollen mouth. Those don’t happen with FPIES. Food protein-induced enterocolitis sydrome is a non-IgE-mediated immune reaction in the gastrointestinal (GI) system to one or more specific foods. This means that the IgE antibodies associated with many food allergies are not involved in an FPIES reaction. That makes FPIES hard to test for....

Which comes first: atopic dermatitis or food allergy?
03/17/2011
...In the past we thought that food allergies came first, causing both high IgE levels and contributing to atopic dermatitis symptoms. Dr. Hanifin suggested that gaps in the skin barrier cause atopic dermatitis in some patients (likely due to genetics). This is a way that foreign substances could enter the skin and cause adverse reactions. He thinks that proteins that get through these gaps could lead the body’s immune system to become sensitive to certain...

...foods can is called “cross-reactivity.” But what does that mean for you? Food allergies can involve many types of responses. For example, you may get a rash after eating a particular food, or a reaction could be life-threatening, like anaphylaxis.

This igE can cause a variety of physical reactions or symptoms...

...(IV) fluids because of the risk and prevalence of dehydration. Children experiencing more severe symptoms may also need steroids and in-hospital monitoring.

Families may be able to manage mild reactions at home with oral electrolyte rehydration (e.g., Pedialyte®). Because it’s a serious condition, in the event of an emergency, the correct treatment is...

Cow Milk Allergy Causes
03/28/2022
Why some infants develop a milk allergy is unknown. An allergy is an abnormal response by the body’s immune system in response to one or several food allergens. Symptoms of cow milk allergy are caused by exposure to cow milk proteins. These signal the body to produce immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies against the protein. When a person is allergic, any time the body “sees” the protein, the antibodies recognize it and release the...
