2010-03-14 Peanut allergy may worsen asthma in kids

Researchers found that among 160 children with asthma seen at their center, the 46 with peanut allergies generally had more hospitalisations for asthma exacerbations than children without the food allergy. They also had a higher rate of treatment with oral corticosteroids - anti-inflammatory drugs given for a short period to control severe asthma symptoms. Of children and teens with peanut allergy, 23 percent had ever been hospitalised for asthma after the age of 3 years. That compared with 16 percent of those without peanut allergy.

2010-03-12 Childhood food allergy on the rise Australian Food News

Text/html; charset=UTF-8 / meta name=

Australian hospitalisation rates due to food allergy have increased dramatically in the last decade, with recent evidence that peanut allergy has significantly increased in Australia, as it has in other developed countries, Dr Mullins said.

According to Dr Mullins, as many as 15000 children born each year in Australia - up to six percent - will develop an anaphylactic food allergy before the age of five. Anaphylaxis is an unpredictable and potentially life-threatening condition.

Dr Raymond Mullins, president of the Australasian Society of Clinical Immunology and Allergy (ASCIA), warned that food allergy in children was dramatically on the rise, and that Australia would need to be ready.

2010-03-10 Child allergy rates at epidemic proportions

Dr Mullins, president of the Australian Society of Clinical Immunology and Allergy (ASCIA), points to a WA-based study which found about 80 per cent of schools had at least one student at risk of a severe allergic reaction to food - anaphylaxis.

The free course covers the basics of food allergy, its major triggers, how to identify someone suffering anaphylaxis and its first-response treatment including how to use an adrenaline injector such as an EpiPen.

Canberra-based allergy expert Dr Ray Mullins said 15,000 Australian children born this year would develop a potentially fatal food allergy before they reached school age.

2010-03-05 National Jewish faculty present research findings at AAAAI

Early results from the Consortium of Food Allergy Research (National Jewish Health, Duke, Johns Hopkins, Mount Sinai and the University of Arkansas) suggest that children with egg allergy can be desensitized by giving them oral immunotherapy with egg-white solid. Fifty-five children received daily oral immunotherapy for 44 weeks followed by an oral food challenge with egg. Fifty-one percent of children receiving immunotherapy safely consumed 5 grams of egg white, while none of the 15 patients receiving placebo treatments did.

2010-03-02 Are You Allergic to Meat

Dr. Scott P. Commins, of the University of Virginia and one of the AAAI studys authors, notes that previous research and the current study continue to suggest not only that IgE to a carbohydrate has important clinical implications in food allergy and anaphylaxis, but that the presence of this antibody may well have been under appreciated in terms of the number of patients affected and geographical scope. Therefore, there may be more people allergic to meat than previously thought.

2010-02-28 Exposure to Foods When Young May Reduce Food Allergies on KFYR-TV North Dakotas NBC News Leader

Twelve million americans have food allergies. The Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network says some allergies are mild, while others can affect peoples everyday lives. But once allergic doesnt necessarily mean always allergic.

If you have a food allergy, you should always read food labels, and watch for items processed in locations where cross-contamination is possible.

An allergic reaction happens when the immune system attacks certain proteins in foods. The reaction can be anything from a rash to an itchy tongue or difficulty breathing. An allergic reaction can be very serious, and if untreated it could be fatal.
