Registry of Food Allergy Oral Immunotherapy Treatment
Food AllergyThe purpose of this patient registry is to demonstrate safety and efficacy of food oral immunotherapy in food allergic patients. Factors that lead to adverse reactions will be identified. The frequency of rescue epinephrine use will be recorded.
A Study to Monitor the Use of an Amino Acid-Based Infant Formula
Cow's Milk Protein AllergyEosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disorders3 moreTo assess the frequency and nature of adverse events in infants fed a free amino acid based infant formula.
Colonization and Persistence Capacity of a Multi-strain Probiotics in Pediatric Food Allergy to...
Food HypersensitivityProbioticThis study evaluates the addition of three probiotics (Bifidobacterium longum, Bifidobacterium breve and Bifidobacterium infantis) in the treatment of pediatric food allergic children to milk or egg. The allergic participants will receive the probiotics, while other two populations age and sex matched of not confirmed allergic and healthy children will not receive probiotics.
Assessment of Orality Disorders in Children With Food Allergies
Food Allergy in Children6 Years Old MaximumOrality disorders are frequent in child. There are complications like growth and psychomotor development disorders. The aim is to estimate the prevalence of orality disorder for child with one or several food allergy.

The Diagnosis of Oral Allergy Syndrome Through the Use of a Structured Questionnaire
Food AllergyOral allergy syndrome is a type of food allergy which mainly affects people with springtime hay fever. It is caused by a cross-reaction, between antibodies to pollens, usually birch tree pollen, and allergens in many different plant foods. It is characterised by symptoms of itching and/or swelling in the mouth and/or throat when eating certain fruits vegetables and nuts. Many of the allergens causing OAS are destroyed by heat, making allergy testing using traditional allergen extracts unreliable. Prick testing or challenging with fresh foods is more reliable, but time consuming, inconvenient and largely unavailable. Pilot study results suggest the characteristic symptoms and foods involved in OAS allow accurate diagnosis using clinical history alone, which forms the basis for the hypothesis of this proposal that OAS can be diagnosed accurately by use of a validated questionnaire alone. The diagnostic questionnaire (PFSDQ), revised from the results of the pilot study, will be tested against two reference test methods, the gold standard of oral food challenge, and the 'platinum standard' of diagnosis made by a medical expert based on history, skin prick testing and oral food challenge. This is not an epidemiological study but with no published studies on OAS in a UK population, this study will also provide some information on the prevalence of OAS in those with springtime hayfever in the UK.
Diagnostic Equivalence of the Skin Prick Test Tape vs. Conventional Skin PrickTest
Allergic RhinitisAllergic Asthma2 moreTesting of a new ready-to-use Tape in comparison to the currently used skin prick test for the diagnosis of allergies. Assessment of clinical equivalence of the SPT Tape for representative common inhalant allergens to conventional SPT in terms of wheal reaction positivity and overall safety. Tests are performed in patients who have a medical history of relevant allergic rhinitis to any of the tested allergens.
The Journey of Children With Cow's Milk Protein Allergy in Mexico.
Cow's Milk Protein AllergyTo gain insights on the application, use and effectiveness of Frisolac Gold Intensive HA and Frisolac Gold PEP AC with reference to improvement of CMPA symptoms and to determine the methodology used by Mexican Health Care Professionals (HCPs) in the clinical practice (i.e. diagnosis and dietary management) of CMPA in Mexican children (≤24 months) diagnosed with or suspected of CMPA.
Friends, Family & Food: Food Allergy App for Youth ( F3A-App )
Food Allergy in ChildrenObjective: This Phase II STTR grant incorporated user feedback collected in an earlier development project to build interactive, web-based software that helps children with food allergies learn about their condition and gain self-management skills. This highly interactive game allows children to progress through virtual scenes to help them learn about food avoidance, symptom detection, and reaction management. In addition, this project built gaming complexity, with more levels and game options, of the two interactive games "Label Learning: Like it or Lose it!" and "Reaction Action!".
