  • TITLE of STUDY Milk Allergy Is a Very Common Problem in Children. Milk
    TITLE OF STUDY Milk Desensitization and Induction of Tolerance in Children Milk Allergy is a very common problem in children. Milk-induced symptoms effect up-to 20% of children, with detrimental effects on nutrition during critical periods of growth. Moreover, approximately 2-5% of children make IgE antibodies against cow’s milk, which are responsible for severe allergic reactions and anaphylaxis. Milk is the second most common food causing life-threatening anaphylaxis in North America and Europe, and the most common food to cause life- threatening symptoms world-wide. Due to the ubiquitous nature of dairy products in our diet, milk is extremely difficult to avoid. Treatment of milk allergy is currently based on strict avoidance, and patients must carry injectable adrenalin (e.g. Epipen). Our study will assess a novel and potentially life-changing therapy, by actively treating milk allergy with Oral Immunotherapy. This may allow patients to safely consume dairy products. Treatment with oral-immunotherapy has been piloted in the USA and Europe, but there is no current research into milk- immunotherapy in Canada, depriving our population of a potential cure for this very common problem. We propose to perform a well-defined clinical study, using proper control groups and immunological measures to properly understand the ideal patients and the safest and most efficacious methodologies. If successful, this study will clearly increase the margin of safety for children and young adults who suffer from life-threatening milk allergy. It can also increase the consumption of dairy products within this population, providing nutritional benefits including improved bone mineralization and growth.

  • Soy Free Diet Avoiding Soy
    SOY FREE DIET AVOIDING SOY An allergy to soy is common in babies and young children, studies show that often children outgrow a soy allergy by age 3 years and the majority by age 10. Soybeans are a member of the legume family; examples of other legumes include beans, peas, lentils and peanut. It is important to remember that children with a soy allergy are not necessarily allergic to other legumes, request more clarification from your allergist if you are concerned. Children with a soy allergy may have nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, bloody stool, difficulty breathing, and or a skin reaction after eating or drinking soy products. These symptoms can be avoided by following a soy free diet. What foods are not allowed on a soy free diet? Soy beans and edamame Soy products, including tofu, miso, natto, soy sauce (including sho yu, tamari), soy milk/creamer/ice cream/yogurt, soy nuts and soy protein, tempeh, textured vegetable protein (TVP) Caution with processed foods - soy is widely used manufactured food products – remember to carefully read labels. o Soy products and derivatives can be found in many foods, including baked goods, canned tuna and meat, cereals, cookies, crackers, high-protein energy bars, drinks and snacks, infant formulas, low- fat peanut butter, processed meats, sauces, chips, canned broths and soups, condiments and salad dressings (Bragg’s Liquid Aminos) USE EXTRA CAUTION WITH ASIAN CUISINE: Asian cuisine are considered high-risk for people with soy allergy due to the common use of soy as an ingredient and the possibility of cross-contamination, even if a soy-free item is ordered.

    Prognosis and Management Soy allergies are more common in young children and are usually outgrown early in life. The chance of outgrowing soy allergy often depends on whether it is IgE-mediated or non-IgE mediated. Non-IgE mediated soy allergies are usually outgrown in early childhood. IgE-mediated soy allergies can be outgrown, but in some cases may persist throughout life. IgE levels to soy will be monitored throughout your child’s care.

Soybeans have become a major part of processed food products in our country. Soybeans and soybean products are found in baked goods, canned tuna, cereals, crackers, infant formulas, sauces, and soups. In the processing of most soybean oils, the protein portion is removed. Studies have shown that most people with a soy allergy my safely eat soy lecithin and soybean oil.

As a precaution, give your child a daily vitamin pill. Work with a dietitian to be sure your child’s nutritional needs are met..

  • Milk Allergy
    Allergic reactions Allergic reactions are severe adverse reactions that occur when the body’s immune system overreacts to a particular allergen.These reactions may be caused by food, insect stings, latex, medications and other substances. In Canada, the nine priority food allergens Milk are peanuts, tree nuts, sesame seeds, milk, eggs, seafood (fish, crustaceans and shellfish), soy, wheat One of the nine most and sulphites (a food additive). common food allergens What are the symptoms of an allergic reaction? When someone comes in contact with an allergen, the symptoms of a reaction may develop quickly and rapidly progress from mild to severe. The most severe form of an allergic reaction is called anaphylaxis. Symptoms can include breathing difficulties, a drop in blood pressure or shock, which may result in loss of consciousness and even death. A person experiencing an allergic reaction may have any of the following symptoms: • Flushed face, hives or a rash, red and itchy skin • Swelling of the eyes, face, lips, throat and tongue • Trouble breathing, speaking or swallowing • Anxiety, distress, faintness, paleness, sense of doom, weakness • Cramps, diarrhea, vomiting • A drop in blood pressure, rapid heart beat, loss of consciousness How are food allergies and severe allergic reactions treated? Currently there is no cure for food allergies. The only option is complete avoidance of the specific allergen. Appropriate emergency treatment for anaphylaxis (a severe food allergy reaction) includes an injection of adrenaline, which is available in an auto-injector device. Adrenaline must be administered as soon as symptoms of a severe allergic reaction appear.The injection must be followed by further treatment and observation in a hospital emergency room.

As these represent the more severe cases, it is likely that the proportion of milder cases who outgrow their soy allergy will be even larger. The doctors will determine whether your child has grown out of their allergy Soy Allergy - 21/05/2013/1 by a combination of skin testing and food challenge with soy.
