Egg and breast milk based nitrogen sources compared.

Egg and breast milk based nitrogen sources compared.

A nitrogen source based on egg protein (Vamin 9 glucose) and an alternative with an amino acid profile more similar to breast milk (Vaminolact), were compared in 14 parenterally fed infants. Subjects were randomly allocated to receive one or other amino acid solution, but were otherwise given identical diets. At the start of the study the two groups did not differ significantly in postconceptua...

Biological and organoleptic properties of milk protein as affected by dilution with non-esential nitrogen sources

Effect of maternal egg consumption on breast milk ovalbumin concentration.

BACKGROUND Maternal dietary avoidance of egg has been recommended to treat egg allergy in breastfed infants. However, only one of three randomized controlled trials have produced evidence in favour of this recommendation. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to assess human milk ovalbumin (OVA) concentration after daily maternal ingestion of one cooked egg for 3 weeks. METHODS Mothers with egg-sensi...

Effect of Maternal Egg Consumption on Breast Milk Ovalbumin Concentration

dietitians (45%), and other health care providers (24%). Avoidance of all egg-containing products was recommended to 84%. A subset of the participants reported receiving conflicting advice; 39% reported that they were advised to avoid all egg traces, and 26% were advised that baked egg-containing foods were permitted. Of the 141 of 167 participants who were advised to avoid all egg products, 11...

Debates in allergy medicine: baked milk and egg ingestion accelerates resolution of milk and egg allergy

Cow's milk and hen's egg are ubiquitous in diets around the world and can be important sources of protein in young children. Unfortunately, milk and egg allergies are also some of the most common food allergies in childhood. Less allergenic forms of milk and egg due to heating and interactions with a food matrix, as in baked goods, are tolerated by a majority of milk- and egg-allergic patients....
