lüll Clinical aspects of gastrointestinal food allergy in childhood Sicherer SHPediatrics 2003[Jun]; 111 (6 Pt 3): 1609-16Gastrointestinal food allergies are a spectrum of disorders that result from adverse immune responses to dietary antigens. The named disorders include immediate gastrointestinal hypersensitivity (anaphylaxis), oral allergy syndrome, allergic eosinophilic esophagitis, gastritis, and gastroenterocolitis; dietary protein enterocolitis, proctitis, and enteropathy; and celiac disease. Additional disorders sometimes attributed to food allergy include colic, gastroesophageal reflux, and constipation. The pediatrician faces several challenges in dealing with these disorders because diagnosis requires differentiating allergic disorders from many other causes of similar symptoms, and therapy requires identification of causal foods, application of therapeutic diets and/or medications, and monitoring for resolution of these disorders. This review catalogs the spectrum of gastrointestinal food allergies that affect children and provides a framework for a rational approach to diagnosis and management.|Child[MESH]|Food Hypersensitivity/*complications/*diagnosis/therapy[MESH]|Gastrointestinal Diseases/*etiology/therapy[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Infant[MESH] |
