Modern food allergy prevention strategies among children

https://doi.org/10.34215/1609-1175-2021-2-8-13

Abstract

Food allergy (FA) is still a serious issue on children health in many developed countries. In recent years a steady growth of its spread rate has been observed. Knowledge development on pathophysiological mechanisms basic to foot  antigens tolerance and sensitization lead to radical change in the strategy of FA  prevention. The deterioration of ecological condition and the influence of  external environment factors have partly changed the epidemiology of allergic  reactions to food products. In this literature review mainly the attention is paid to new perspectives of food allergy prevention among children. Modern recommendations in this area are based on the early nutrition expansion,  introduction of complementary foods in the age of 4–6 months regardless of family anamnesis. It is deemed useless to avoid allergic products if there are no  FA manifestations, both during introduction of complementary foods and  during pregnancy and breast-feeding for mothers. Additional potential strategies include optimization of skin barrier function in the early age and the  usage of special moisturizers. The research of micro biota role, polyunsaturated fatty acids and vitamin D in FA pathogenesis is continued.
