A safe foodstuff for wheat allergic patients
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Lipid Transfer Protein (LTP) allergy constitutes the first cause of food allergy to vegetables in Southern Europe. LTPs are highly stable proteins, resistant to both gastric digestion and high temperatures. Allergic reactions to multiples vegetables, not phylogenetically related, are produced based on the cross-reactivity among these proteins, a phenomenon that has been named LTP syndrome. Tri a 14, the wheat LTP, is involved in baker ́s asthma and anaphylactic reaction. In the present work, we studied Weetabix ® foodstuff tolerance in four patients with wheat allergy, characterized by oral food challenge (OFC) and skin tests, trying to identify the source of this tolerance in wheat-based foodstuff.

Food-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis (FDEIA) is a special form of food allergy where a food-intake alone does not induce any symptoms. However, allergic symptoms are elicited when triggering factors such as exercise or aspirin-intake are added after ingestion of the causative food. The most frequent causative foodstuff in Japan is wheat. The triggering factors, both exercise and aspirin-...

متن کاملReduction of Cross-Reactive Carbohydrate Determinants in Plant Foodstuff: Elucidation of Clinical Relevance and Implications for Allergy Diagnosis
BACKGROUND A longstanding debate in allergy is whether or not specific immunoglobulin-E antibodies (sIgE), recognizing cross-reactive carbohydrate determinants (CCD), are able to elicit clinical symptoms. In pollen and food allergy, ≥20% of patients display in-vitro CCD reactivity based on presence of α1,3-fucose and/or β1,2-xylose residues on N-glycans of plant (xylose/fucose) and insect (fuco...
متن کاملOral immunotherapy in children with IgE-mediated wheat allergy: outcome and molecular changes.
BACKGROUND IgE-mediated wheat allergy affects around 0.5% of the population, and current management is based on avoidance. We propose an active intervention to promote tolerance in wheat-allergic children. OBJECTIVES To investigate the efficacy and safety of an oral immunotherapy (OIT) protocol with wheat to treat IgE-mediated wheat-allergic children. METHODS Six wheat allergic patients ass...
متن کاملCharacterization of a new wheat food allergen
Background Allergens from wheat (Triticum aestivum) can cause three distinct IgE-mediated allergies: respiratory allergy by inhalation of wheat flour, wheat pollen allergy and wheat food allergy. Wheat and wheat products are a main component in human diet, but currently avoidance is the only therapy for wheat food allergic patients. Diagnosis based on wheat flour extracts does not discriminate ...
