About this Research Topic
Food allergy often coincides with other allergic manifestations, such as atopic dermatitis, allergic asthma and allergic rhinitis. Many areas of food allergy are still poorly understood, including the significant variation between patients in sensitivity and severity to food allergens . The mainstay for the management of food allergy is an elimination diet, which has an impact on macro and micro-nutrient intake, as well as on quality of life.
Today, there is increasing interest in the influence of healthy, anti-inflammatory nutrition throughout the life course, from pre-conception until adulthood, on the natural course and treatment of atopic disease. Thus, there is mounting interest that nutrition could aggravate or alleviate allergic symptoms. This may be explained by the impact of nutrition on the gut microbiome, immunological effects and/or epigenetic effects. However, robust evidence is lacking.
We welcome articles, either reviews or original data, on the following topics:
1. Allergen reintroduction's in children with non-IgE mediated allergies
2. Dietary aspects in adults with pollen food syndrome
3. Nutrition and Plant food allergies
4. Nutritional aspects of fish and shellfish allergy
5. Nutrition and immunological outcomes in allergic disease
6. Nutrition and epigenetic outcomes in allergic disease
7. Nutrition and clinical outcomes in allergic disease
8. The planetary diet in the context of food allergy
