NUTRITIONAL MANAGEMENT OF COW'S MILK PROTEIN ALLERGY IN CHILDREN

IJCIRAS, 2021

Nutritional management of the child allergic to cow's milk proteins is more than essential. The dietary survey allows for the assessment of the whole diet and the nutritional monitoring is done with the collaboration of the dietician to explain the diet and give advice for food diversification. The diet of the child allergic to cow's milk proteins after milk consists of progressive food diversification. Milk substitutes offer a solution to this condition and there is no reason to delay the most allergenic foods. The composition of these substitutes varies in nitrogen, medium chain triglycerides, long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA), Ca, iron.... Iron and zinc requirements are important in the second half of life and supplementation with iron, calcium, vitamin D, C and E is necessary to prevent rickets and malnutrition. Monitoring of weight and stature growth is very important because uncontrolled diets can influence the child's growth.

Clinical, immunological and pathological profile of infants suffering from cow's milk protein allergy

Romanian journal of morphology and embryology = Revue roumaine de morphologie et embryologie, 2016

Cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA) is the most frequently encountered form of food allergy in pediatric patients and occurs secondary to cow's milk proteins (CMP) ingestion. The aim of this study is to define the profile of children suffering from CMPA and to describe the associated pathological findings. The authors performed a retrospective case-control study on 160 infants that presented with CMPA symptoms at "Sf. Maria" Emergency Clinical Hospital for Children, Iassy, Romania, between January 2013 and January 2015. Fifty-five infants were diagnosed with CMPA (Group 1 - cases group) and 105 had no proven allergy (Group 2 - control group). Mean age of patients, gender distribution and prevalence of premature birth registered no statistically significant difference between the two groups. The prevalence of familial history of allergy was higher in case of patients with CMPA (36.36% versus 20% in control group). The delay between the introduction of CMP into aliment...

Introduction of Heated Cow’s Milk Protein in Challenge-Proven Cow’s Milk Allergic Children: The iAGE Study

Nutrients

The introduction of baked milk products in cow’s milk (CM) allergic children has previously been shown to accelerate induction tolerance in a selected group of children. However, there is no standardized baked milk product on the market. Recently, a new standardized, heated and glycated cow’s milk protein (HP) product was developed. The aim of this study was to measure safety and tolerability of a new, well characterized heated CM protein (HP) product in cow’s milk allergic (CMA) children between the age of 3 and 36 months. The children were recruited from seven clinics throughout the Netherlands. The HP product was introduced in six incremental doses under clinical supervision. Symptoms were registered after introduction of the HP product. Several questionnaires were filled out by parents of the children. Skin prick tests were performed with CM and HP product, sIgE to CM and α-lactalbumin (Bos d4), β-lactoglobulin (Bos d5), serum albumin (Bos d 6), lactoferrin (Bos d7) and casein (...

Symptoms of Cow Milk Protein Allergy in Children – a Retrospective Study

Romanian Journal of Pediatrics, 2015

Introduction. Recent meta-analyses of population-based studies show considerable heterogeneity in the prevalence of perceived and confirmed allergic reactions, as well as sensitization to cow milk ingestion. Adverse reactions to cow milk ingestion have different prevalence patterns in different age groups. There is increasing public concern about the true prevalence and a possible increase of food allergies over time, particularly among parents, child care and school staff, health care providers, regulators and food producers. Materials and methods. We performed a retrospective study of children admitted in IOMC hospital in Bucharest between January 2011 to May 2013. The primary aim of this study was to establish and compare the prevalence of confirmed allergic reactions to food in young children from IOMC hospital to known symptoms established by different researches. Results. 312 patients were evaluated with IgE panel blood test, 64 were IgE positive to cow milk protein fraction. ...
