Pediatric Food Allergies

Food Allergies in Children and Infants

While the elders of 1 percent of food allergies, children are not so lucky. Up to 3 percent of the children to the real-allergic reactions to foods can be part of. This situation can be connected to children's immune and digestive systems are fully seated. Many children develop allergies to products, especially milk and soy. Shellfish, fish and peanut allergies in the childhood period, against a higher probability to remain limited.

Symptoms of allergic reactions to food in children and adults are generally similar. But instead of them infants, colic (acute abdominal pain), or bloody stools may occur. New born allergic reactions against cow's milk and soya in the early period. Since it is difficult to say exactly what caused the problem, it is important to report reactions to child health specialist immediately.

Yatıyorsa cow's milk on the basis of the problem, you have several choices. Mothers breast feed, or they might try to use soy-based formula. Soybeans is suspected, your doctor may recommend other foods. The sugar and amino acids such as special foods rarely cause allergic reactions.

Breast-feeding the next stages of life, there is enough evidence to say that will prevent food allergies. But the baby is breastfed child alone, at least during the first months of life milk, soy and other foods will be prevented due to the risk of allergies. There is one exception: a strong food allergy in some children, the problem may develop a reaction against food-eating mother's milk. In this case, your doctor will want to refrain from baby emzirdiğiniz unless the suspected foods.

To stand away from some foods during pregnancy will prevent allergies in infants indicates that there is no evidence. Therefore prudent to treat pregnant milk and other foods. You and your baby need a complete and balanced nutrition. These nutrients are very low possibility of creating a problem.

Allergy Safety in Schools

Insect stings or a food allergy-related death cases at all level should not be underestimated. Your child may encounter a situation endangering the life of alerjiliyse. Let's say you know what to do in an emergency. Well, what about you where you are? What will happen to children in school?

Your child's school to prepare such a situation, some suggestions are as follows:

The school administration should be prepared to use by the physician to an appropriate treatment protocol.

Allergy each year in school before opening the child's family must notify the administration in this situation. Children under the risk of anaphylaxis due to food or insect stings, the school administration that may arise in an unexpected life-threatening allergic reaction is very important to be ready against possible developments.

Identification card, the child's name, photograph, specific allergy (eg peanuts or bee stings), responses should include warning signs and appropriate emergency treatment path. This information should be easy to reach all those concerned.

The school administration trying to keep the child away from situations likely to create an allergy, the child's school life as possible, should also help maintain a normal manner.
All school staff, should know the child's allergies may require you to be treated with adrenalin. Adrenaline auto-injectors for the student draws a physician's prescription, the school administration should be prepared for this situation and where you can find the ingredients should be aware that in case of emergency. Auto-injector package, about the child's name and class number at the top should be written clearly. Expiration dates of such kits should be checked regularly.
The Administration should determine the content of nutrients in food meals served at schools, child's allergy.

Especially all the surfaces used by children under three years of age (tables, toys, abacus, plates), carefully washed and cleaned. Lead her work in the child's age and amount of crawling into his mouth, even an allergic reaction to an allergen can initiate.

Courses must be used within the scope of foods, the child's allergy should not reveal the kind.

No insect nests should be all around the school.

Should be kept tightly closed areas over garbage.

Students and staff can be seen in insect sting allergy season to eat meals provided in school.

Anaphylactic Shock Symptoms

Anaphylaxis is most dangerous in all allergic reactions. If not treated immediately, can lead to serious complications and even death. Foods, bee stings, and drugs such as the reaction of each allergen can trigger anaphylaxis. Typical symptoms of anaphylaxis include:

Lips, tongue, throat, itchy, swollen hands or feet, usually
Tingling sensation in the mouth and face
Difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, cough, wheezy breathing and / or hoarseness
Sneezing and nasal obstruction-usually with kaşıntıyla
Chest pain or jam
Difficulty swallowing, voice changes or
Feeling of warmth or flushing of the skin and in general (sometimes with rash), swelling and severe itching (bee sting bee sting cases, these symptoms may occur in remote areas, displaced)
From the decrease in blood pressure, dizziness and even loss of consciousness
Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or stomach cramps
A sense of panic or anxiety (feeling of impending disaster)

Becomes detached from one of these symptoms occur, consult your doctor or emergency room immediately. To alleviate the symptoms most likely will need injections of adrenaline.

Anaphylaxis and Anaphylactic

A true food allergy is difficult to tell the difference between the denial of food. In some cases, this distinction does not matter much. Both lead and the best thing to feel unwell, yememektir problematic foods.

But the distinction between the two conditions in one case, literally means a matter of life and death. Very rare cases, food allergies and anaphylaxis, called the incident turns out derail.

Other allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis begins: IgE antibodies to allergens in the body and finds it a false alarm on the immune system into action. But the event sneezing, hives or stomach rahatsızlığıyla not limited cast. Allergen in the body to release large amounts of histamine and other chemical substances when, thoroughly expands blood vessels, blood pressure suddenly drops.

You can tell, this is a serious condition. Given response, including the lungs and heart, the body can affect many organ. Anaphylaxis is not treated immediately can damage essential organs, may even be fatal.

Although the process is so frightening, extremely low frequency of occurrence of anaphylactic shock. The average lifetime of a person's risk of encountering such a situation is 1 percent. The bad side, no one can tell what it would be time. Raises the risk of the presence of severe allergies, but I anaphylaxis can happen to anyone. Anaphylactic reaction to a new study, women encounter more likely than men to be concluded in a coat. The reason for this is unclear yet.

Many allergens can trigger anaphylaxis. For example, bee stings, penicillin, money order medication and muscle relaxants. Food allergies are among the most common causes. Foods that trigger anaphylaxis are the same as other food alerjilerindekilerle: Peanuts, milk, shellfish, fish and eggs. Vegetables such as celery may create the same situation.

Very sensitive people, even a small amount of the components of food allergy can cause anaphylaxis. 0.002 per cent of them peanut researchers' reaction to a piece of tetikleyebildiğini determined. Let's leave aside the understanding of the taste, even to force people to see such small particles.

Our intention is not to scare you, is to address to be vigilant. After dinner you feel the symptoms of anaphylaxis, an emergency room physician or consult.

The treatment of anaphylaxis usually adrenaline (also known as efinefrin) needle is made. If you have a history of anaphylaxis, the physician can always carry with you a efinefrin kit. Anaphylactic reaction to this kind of felt yourself kits available that you can inject the drug contains a small needle. You will also intervene at a document that will be stimulating for the physician is necessary to migrate over you. Such a measure is valid, especially for those with a severe allergy to drugs like penicillin.

Allergen Containing Foods

Sometimes the most palatable food allergens may be hidden. Here you can find them in some surprising sources:

Milk: Stock meat dishes, a variety of ice cream (ice cream, even outside the varieties), cream soups, sauces, tuna salad, margarine.

Eggs: Bakery products, mayonnaise, pasta. Eggs can be found in egg white counterparts, even the products used.

Wheat: Pasta, Swiss cheese, ice cream. The label "natural" sweeteners "by products is risky.

Peanut: Tart overlay, Mexican food, Thai food. Even peanut butter chili dressings used as a thickener.

The other nuts: Salad dressings, sauces and a variety of pastries.
In line with the growing demand of consumers is increasing the number of firms producing artificial nutrients. So often creates problems of milk, eggs and wheat instead of nutrients, such as the widespread use them.
Yiyişinizde out every meal, remember that you are forcing your chances of food alerjisiyle. Find out what is going on in the food to be put in front of you. "I do not know," a type of heresy karşılıkla. Kindly explain that some food allergies.

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) If you are a bad reaction, ask for the preparation of a meal does not contain this material. Note that commonly used in Chinese cuisine, especially MSG'nin. MSG with food refusal, in fact, also known as Chinese restaurant syndrome.

Sometimes an allergen enters your body creates a slight response. In such cases, itching and swelling is suggested by your doctor can treat a antihistaminikle. Recover more quickly from the edge "off your body's response to drug you can get help.

P. A list of antihistamines 145'te is located. To reduce the response in the event of an asthma attack, use bronkodilatörünüzü. Gut related symptoms improves with time.
Food allergies will receive pre-medication can not block. Useful only after the occurrence of an allergic reaction to medication.

Food Poisoning and Food Allergies

Food poisoning is different from the rejection of food. Denial of food found naturally in foods or substances added intentionally to develop them. Food poisoning is caused by organisms transmitted in foods such as Salmonella spp. Improper procedures, inadequate cooling, insects and other factors, may lead to deterioration of foods. Dirty water can affect the nutrients. Maybe weird, but cut before the poisonous plant-eating animal, even a butcher can be a problem.

Food allergies and food rejection as a feature in a different, slightly delayed the emergence of food poisoning. Symptoms in minutes, not hours or even a hiatus or two days after the worse. Eating the same contaminated source sürdürmedikçe, usually a kereliktir event. Once you eat potato salad potato salad is corrupted or does not become sensitive to the food does not lead to a denial.

Other Issues

Sometimes a temporary sensitivity to foods may develop. For example, the captured virus infection in the child's body may reject the milk for a while. Ulcer, cancer or other illness, may reveal previously non-food sensitivities. The same situation may develop in those who treat depression with drugs such as monoamine oxidase inhibitors.
Rarely will lead to psychological problems in response to nutrients. Reminiscent of a bad event happened to a certain food and then eaten, can cause symptoms resembling allergic reaction. To overcome this situation may need to be treated.

Should be done a little review

Behold, there is an old joke. A man goes to the doctor for neck pain. "He hurts we make," he turns his neck to one side quickly. "My brother," says the doctor, "you do so."
Food allergies on the way to solve the same: If you sick to eat certain foods, do not eat those foods. This is only for food allergies, but also applies to denial of food. There is no magic pill or a treatment inscrutable. Peanut butter doğuruyorsa bad results, bread will find something else.

Of course, the food problem which is making this proposal we assume that you know has done. It is not always easy to know. Each lobster is yiyişinizde hives döküyorsanız problem. Well, it's unclear if a food allergy? Or symptoms occurs after a certain amount of an allergen? Dedicate some time to solve the problem of difficult jobs such cases, need to show some attention. The other choice but may not receive specialist support to resolve the problem.

Begin by keeping food diary to work. It's really not difficult at all. Just save everything you eat. Make sure to specify the time. Be on the lookout for symptoms that may occur after meals. One of the symptoms of allergy or food refusal occurred and immediately note the mark.

A reaction occurs, save the contents of the foods you eat. What type koyduysanız cooked meal. Stock food, if you make a note of the label or store the table of contents. Sooner or later you will begin to notice the links. Maybe after eating foods made ​​from egg whites gösteriyorsunuzdur responses. Perhaps the problem is, you keep the list is because of the contribution of a food preservative. That is found suspicious circumstances, a period of time that the contribution of foods or nutrients to avoid. During this time, not come out the symptoms, the problem is solved on your own, most likely.

But you can not always so lucky. Symptoms persist in a few weeks and could not identify the exact source, now it is time to apply to the physician. Allergy specialists are difficult to detect food allergies and food refusal to find the correct result when passed an education. In addition, the experience gained could save you hours of having gastrointestinal disasters.

The physician will want to know before the story of food reaction. Having Problems Since when? Symptoms do immediately after a meal, or you are starting an hour after a long period of time? Prepare your food yourself, or do you think it was a rare? Yeğliyorsunuz more raw foods? (Cooking destroys allergens, sometimes.) Disturb others in the same foods do you have? Do you exercise immediately after a meal? (Some people in the exercise alone, meal, and then pulls out the reactions.) Have intense reactions of the year a certain period? (Some people are allergic to pollen-profit-puz eat melon, only the times of high pollen levels leads to an allergic reaction.) Give all the answers to these questions accurately could reveal the cause of developing reactions.

In this way a result can not be retrieved, again return to a diet diary. Missed the point that you can capture the eyes of an experienced physician. The physician concluded that it finds a possible charge of independent enterprises, then the method of elimination elimination diet or nutrition program, called the process can start. This method does not contain the substance thought to cause issues to understand the reactions disappear kaybolmayacağını foods eaten. The result is taken to eat again, this time by asking the physician suspicious substance did not come out and want to see the responses. Reaction occurs, the problem was most likely. Questionable food should be eaten only under the supervision of physicians. This measure is particularly strong reactions to people who previously applies to the allergen.

Resolving the problem of the physician is sure that the tests could last. If you have doubts, but still passes the other transactions. The first skin test. A suspicious amount of diluted allergen into the skin, often placed in the arm. Skin allergic reaction in advance to be able to react with the body slightly scratched or punctured. Related skin redness or swelling occurs in the body produces IgE antibodies against allergens can be said.

Skin tests are quick and simple. But it can not be trusted 100 percent. Because the emergence of a skin reaction, a reaction that surely will arise in the allergen does not mean that you eat. And on the basis of a history of previous tests, the doctor gives the final decision.

Another way to assess the presence of antibodies specific for the bloodstream is to do a blood test. Two of the most common and most reliable test RAST (radyoalerjosorban test) and ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent test). Both tests detect IgE antibodies in the stable. But as in skin tests to be carrying antibodies alone, does not necessarily mean that there is a food allergy. Also more expensive than blood tests, skin tests and the results can be periods of time ranging from several days to one week.

The final test is a test of the method, double-blind food. Many experts believe that this method is the most reliable test. During the test, the person complaining is given capsules containing extracts of different nutrients. Some of these extracts only for that person is suspected allergens. The physician notes the patient's reaction to each capsule. Both the physician and the patient does not know the test until the ingredients in capsules (test "double blind" is the reason why is called).

Double-blind food allergy test food to determine the exact format is extremely successful. In this way, the patient's problem caused by the misleading effect would create a sense of some foods kapıldığı is also excluded. But the test is not suitable for everyone. Severe reaction to food allergens that may cause inconvenience to take as one of the capsules. This test also can be expensive and require a long time to waste.

As with all the allergy, food allergies or food the best remedy for a denial of the problem, leading to sakınmaktır foods. If you are eating meals prepared at home, your business is considered quite easy. Only packaged food labels have to be careful. If you know the problem you have created a food contribution, you must make sure that you receive the product does not contain this substance. I do not read the label savsaklamayın long list.

Denial of Food and Food Allergies

Nearly 40 percent of adult Americans consider themselves to be a food allergy. However, this rate is much lower, only around 1 percent. So what leads to digestive upsets? Lots of things. Unlike food allergies food for the body's refusal, the language of medicine, food intolerance, the immune system takes place outside. But they are creating a real hardship to allergies, diarrhea, vomiting and can lead to symptoms such as skin rashes. In fact, some tests without physician consultation or to tell the difference between food allergy and food refusal is almost impossible.
Here are some of the most common reasons leading to a denial of food:

Lactase deficiency. Some people's stomachs can not afford milk. This is because the substance contained in milk called lactose. Absorb about 10 percent of adults in this item. An enzyme called lactase to digest lactose is required. Üretemiyorsanız enough lactase, lactose digestion of milk products is absorbed in your path. Bacteria living in the use of this material at the end of your intestines. The resulting process gas, bloating or diarrhea can cause such illnesses. Lactase deficiency is more common in some races. For example, Asians in varying degrees, this inability to reach a total of 90 per cent level, is about 75 percent of American Indians and blacks.

Food additives. I used bread flour and yeast bulunmazdı something else. Today, some of the bread sold in stores to read labels to make almost a doctorate in chemistry is required. Consistency in some types of bread improvers, dyes, artificial calls, guards and assorted blessings filled the space age. These contributions may be appropriate in some people. But there are also additives that can cause problems. Here are a few examples:

Monosodium glutamate (MSG). A matter of taste and fragrance. When the excess amount of chest compression, ranging from nausea and headache can cause problems.

Nitrates and nitrites. Salami, sausage, processed meat products such as the commonly used preservatives. Shed can cause headaches and hives.

Sulphides. Beer, wine, cookies and crackers are widely involved protectors. Salad bars used to maintain the freshness of vegetables cause discomfort in many people opened, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has banned this practice. The symptoms hives, cramps, diarrhea and headaches are. Can trigger asthma attacks in some people beat sulfides.

BHA and BHT. Cereal and other grain products gevreklerinin substances used to maintain freshness. In rare cases cause skin reactions.

Aspartame. Low-calorie sweetener. In rare cases can cause hives shed or hands and feet to swell.

Sodium benzoate. Paraben collected under the name of the most common food preservatives. Substances in this group may cause skin rashes.

Food dyes. Widespread in the ingredients in doubt. Kanıtlanabilmiştir very little to cause food reactions.

Natural materials. Many a food additive-free and creates the problem. Some foods with histamines, which contain chemical substances spread of mast cells during allergic reaction. If you eat foods containing high levels of histamine, such as stomach cramps and vomiting may develop symptoms that mimic allergy. Wine, Swiss cheese, fermented cabbage, such as
foods that contain large amounts of histamine. Smoked meats, canned fish also are histamine. Plenty of tuna and mackerel yiyeceklerdendir histamine.

Source of the problem is not only histamine. Various substances consumed as cocoa caffeine can lead to digestive upsets. This is a long list of areas at the forefront of chocolate, cola, coffee, tea, beer, vinegar, yeast, banana, citrus and avocado are.

Food Allergies and abdominal pain

Allergic reactions to allergens at any time, usually a dangerous assault on the immune system also reduces the harmless illusion, caused by tiny substances. The body reacts to these allergens and viruses or other microbes against excessive pain prescriptions used by the application gets the same. This show also a source of allergic reactions.

As you breathe in mold spores, dust mites and pollen allergens such as waste enters the lungs through the nose. While eating allergens (usually proteins in food) is taken by mouth to the digestive system. In both cases, the resulting reactions are very similar. Allergens in your stomach and passes into the bloodstream where the immune system encounters. Alerjeniyle first time experiencing a food, the immune system, large amounts of immunoglobulin E (IgE) reacts by producing antibodies. These antibodies are specific to the allergen. Parsley does not react to proteins produced antibodies against peanut proteins, for example.
Now that sensitivity to food alerjenine have won. You eat the same food again, it means that your body is ready to enter the war. Antibodies tutunmuşlardır giant mast cells. They are full of histamine and other chemicals. Antibody detects the allergen immediately captures and contains ingredients to vacate the mast cell triggers.

Antibodies to allergens depends on where you catch you will feel symptoms. Digestion is a process too complicated, many parts of your body is engaged in this process. Food-contact pass in the first place (some of dökmedikçe on you) of your mouth. Allergens during chewing, language or yanaklarınızdaki antibodies and mast cells in tissues detected by. So, shortly after receiving the first lokmanızı feel tingling.

Yutkunmayla with the food, passes through the esophagus. Here, triggering an allergic reaction, burning throat, and perhaps more will lead to a sense of urgency. The third stop is the stomach and intestines. Allergic reactions are abdominal pain, diarrhea or vomiting can result. Allergens finds the possibility of going around the whole body when the intestine into the bloodstream. This journey until reaching the lungs can cause breathing difficulties and even asthma attacks in those predisposed. Finally, the effects of allergens in the skin showing, may cause allergic reactions such as hives or eczema.

All of them to go through a period ranging from several minutes to an hour is enough. Rare but dangerous exceptions aside, you hear the disposal of the body ends allergen discomfort. This is a process that usually ends within hours.
Many food-allergic reaction in yaratabilirse, more than 90 percent of these reactions depends on the following eight foods:

Shrimp, lobster, shellfish such as crab
Pisces
Eggs and egg products
Nuts, walnuts, the nuts of trees such as
Peanut
Grain and bakery products
Milk and milk products
Soybean and soy products

Fish, egg and milk allergies are common, especially among children. In children and adults against the most consumed food allergy is more common. For example, allergic reactions to rice in Japan is more common than those consumed less rice. Open-sea fish such as cod The same is true for the Scandinavian countries.

In the meantime, let us mention alerjiyle surprising about the results. The reason is not known yet, time to delivery of food allergy in childhood were associated with susceptibility kazanmayla. In Sweden, according to a study conducted on more than 200 children, born between the months of September and February, egg whites, milk and bakery products this against the IgE antibodies are produced much more than any other month doğanlardakinden. Eczema, as well as the possibility of development of allergy is higher.

What is Food Allergies

Food Allergies

A good meal, we all know what it means being miserable. The waiter came to collect more dessert plates begins to disorder. Buruntu felt in the abdomen into nausea. Vomiting, increased sense of barely pays for the account, a little ways to get rid of food before you eat a pleasure to play with.

Wherein the middle of a situation is extremely bad, but this really an allergy? In most cases, is not. 99 percent of the bad reactions to foods, such as likely, denial of food poisoning and food (food intolerance or food intolerance format used by physicians), as is any other reason. Resulting in many symptoms are the same: diarrhea, stomach discomfort, abdominal pain, vomiting. But the small differences between allergies and other problems associated with foods can be very important. In extreme cases, even save your life.

If you want some real food allergies dakikamızı and how abdominal pain is really what caused the Allocate anlayacağımıza.
