Yogurt is tolerated by the majority of children with IgE-mediated cow's milk allergy

BackgroundChildren with IgE-mediated cow's milk allergy (IgE-CMA) with gastrointestinal symptoms tolerate yogurt at 100%. Yogurt tolerance in children with IgE-CMA with urticaria and anaphylaxis was 7%.MethodsWe enrolled children with IgE-CMA with cutaneous, respiratory, gastrointestinal and anaphylactic symptoms. All performed prick by prick (PbP) and oral food challenge (OFC) with yogurt. Some children performed also an OFC with CM mixed with wheat flour and baked, baked liquid CM, parmesan.Results34 children were enrolled, 31/34 (91%) with systemic adverse reaction after ingestion of CM (systemic CMA), 3/34 (9%) with isolated contact urticaria (ICU CMA). PbP with yogurt was negative only in one patient. OFC with yogurt was passed (that is, the OFC was negative) by 20/31 (64%) of the children with systemic CMA. 10/11 (91%) of the patients who failed OFC (that is, the OFC was positive) with yogurt were positive to SPT with casein vs. 8/20 (40%) of the patients who passed it (p = 0.018). None of the 19 children who passed OFC with yogurt failed all OFC with processed CM forms other than yogurt that tested vs. 4/8 among those who failed OFC with yogurt (p = 0.006). The rub test with yogurt was negative in 1/3 (33%) of the patients with ICU CMA.ConclusionsThe results of our study are placed alongside others already present in the literature and concerning other methods of processing CM proteins and help to reduce the dietary restrictions of the majority of children with systemic IgE-CMA.     

Posición técnica sobre la leche y derivados lácteos en la salud y en la enfermedad del adulto de la Asociación Mexicana de Gastroenterología y la Asociación Mexicana de Gerontología y Geriatría

Milk is a liquid food that possesses an important quantity of highly bioavailable macronutrients. In addition, it is readily accessible, as well as relatively inexpensive. Given that the knowledge of physicians about nutrition and food composition is deficient, in general, many of the dietary interventions recommended in diverse clinical settings lack a scientific basis. The aim of the present review was to produce a technical opinion that serves as a frame of reference to best sustain recommendations for consuming milk and dairy products as daily nutrition in the adult and older adult. The effects of milk and dairy products during the pediatric stage are not addressed in the present work. The Asociación Mexicana de Gastroenterología and the Asociación Mexicana de Gerontología y Geriatría jointly discussed and analyzed topics dealing with the legal designation of milk, the classification and nutritional profile of cow's milk, its nutritional characteristics, its consumption in the adult, intolerance to cow's milk, and associations of milk consumption with digestive tract alterations and other conditions. Finally, certain aspects of milk consumption in the older adult and its relation to overall health are briefly discussed.

EFFECT OF CROSS-FOSTERING ON NEONATAL SODIUM BALANCE AND ADULT BLOOD PRESSURE IN THE SPONTANEOUSLY HYPERTENSIVE RAT

1. The aim of the present study was to compare electrolyte handling in naturally reared neonatal spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) with those reared by a Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rat foster mother (denoted SHRX), as cross-fostering SHR pups to a WKY rat dam lowers adult blood pressure in the SHR. 2. The electrolyte content of WKY rat and SHR dams’ milk was determined and electrolyte intake and urinary excretion rates were calculated in both naturally reared and cross-fostered WKY rat and SHR pups. 3. The milk sodium concentration fell in both strains (WKY rat: 31.8 ± 2.0 to 15.2 ± 1.2 mmol/L; SHR 31.9 ± 2.5 to 18.2 ± 1.6 mmol/L; P < 0.001), as did potassium (P < 0.001), over lactation, but there were no differences between strains. Calcium and magnesium concentrations increased (P< 0.001), although SHR dam's milk contained less calcium (P < 0.001) than that of WKY rat dams during the third week of lactation. 4. Spontaneously hypertensive rat pups ingested less milk (P<0.05) than WKY rat pups; therefore, their cumulative sodium intake over postnatal days 4–15 was significantly lower than that of WKY rat pups (WKY rat vs SHR: 84.4 ± 3.6 vs 59.7 ± 2.6 μmol/g bodyweight, respectively; P < 0.05) and fostered SHRX pups (77.7 ± 7.0 μmol/g bodyweight; P < 0.05). Potassium and magnesium intakes were comparable between SHR, WKY rat and SHRX pups, but SHR pups ingested significantly less calcium than either WKY rat pups (136.1 ± 6.4 vs 200.1 ± 9.5p, mol/g bodyweight, respectively; P<0.05) or SHRX pups (200.0 ± 18.0 μmol/g bodyweight; P<0.05). 5. These data show that the neonatal SHR experiences a period of sodium deficiency during the developmental stage when cross-fostering is effective in lowering blood pressure. This is consistent with the reported up-regulation of the renin-angiotensin system observed in SHR at this time and may have a long-term influence on blood pressure.
