Food allergies in children and young people – draft guideline issued 10th August - UK hospital admissions for food allergies in children have risen by 500% since 1990. Across Europe and North America, 6-8% of children now have food allergies, a dramatic increase over the past 20 years, says the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE). Food allergies are among the most common allergic disorders and are recognised as a major health problem in children in Western countries, according to NICE. Food allergies occur when the immune system experiences an adverse reaction to specific proteins found in food. Symptoms can range from moderate, such as a skin rash, to life-threatening, such as severe swelling of the throat that makes it difficult to breathe. A life-threatening allergic reaction is known as anaphylaxis. There is no cure for food allergies, but treatment involves identifying the specific food that triggers the allergic reaction and then avoiding it. Foods responsible Any food can potentially cause an allergic reaction, but there are only a few types of foods that are responsible for 90% of all food allergies. In children, the most common foods that can cause an allergic reaction are: eggs, cow’s milk, soya, wheat and peanuts. Most children will outgrow food allergies to milk, eggs, soya and wheat by the time they start school. However, peanut allergies tend to be more persistent. An estimated 80% of children with peanut allergies remain allergic to peanuts for the rest of their lives, according to the NHS.

Alergije na hranu koje su opasne po život Unatoč tome što se alergije na polen mogu činiti mnogo neugodnijima, trebamo biti svjesni činjenice da su alergije na hranu ozbiljan zdravstveni problem, koji ponekad može da završi fatalno. Spomenuti ćemo primjer alergijskih reakcija u Americi. Naime, u Americi svake godine, između 150 i 200 ljudi umre zbog toga što su, ne znajući, pojeli namirnicu na koju su alergični. Osim toga, takve su alergije sve učestalije, neki pretpostavljaju da je glavni krivac genetski inženjering, a drugi optužuju korištenje pesticida. Na žalost, za alergiju na hranu nema nikakvog lijeka, pa je jedini način izbjegavanja rizika od alergijskog napada u biti izbjegavanje namirnice na koju je osoba alergična. Jedanput kada se alergijska reakcija pojavi, ne može se predvidjeti koliko će simptomi postati snažni i opasni. Najčešće su kožne reakcije, a nerijetko se alergija na hranu iskazuje samo osjećajem pečenja ili svrbeža na jeziku ili usnicama. Ipak, takve alergijske reakcije mogu izazvati i smrtonosni anafilaktički šok. Namirnice koje najčešće uzrokuju alergije su kravlje mlijeko, jaja, ribe i plodovi mora, žitarice, soja, kikiriki, orasi i bademi, lješnjaci i jagode. Alergije na hranu mogu se javiti u svakom životnom dobu, no najčešće se javljaju u prvim godinama života. U zapadnim zemljama zabilježeno je da je učestalost tih reakcija kod djece od 8-28 posto, a kod odraslih su znatno rjeđe, odnosno od 1.4 do 1.8 posto. Alergije se često nasljeđuju u porodici.
