Drawing attention to the issue of new approaches in the treatment of food allergy, AİD Food Allergy Working Group Head Prof. Dr Ayşen Bingöl said: “Smart drugs are now also used in the treatment of food allergies. Nasal sprays are used instead of epinephrine pen (auto-injector) for the treatment of allergic shock (anaphylaxis) due to food allergy abroad. We expect them to come to our country soon.”

ATTENTION FOR PEANUTS, HAZELNUT AND FISH ALLERGY

“We never recommend half a diet. There is no less than most,” says Prof. Dr. Bingöl advised people who consume ready-to-eat foods and have allergies to read food labels carefully. He also warned patients to avoid unnecessary diets. Prof. Dr. Bingöl stated that milk, egg and nut allergies are the most common in babies and children in Turkey. He said that allergy to milk and egg heals quickly, but allergies to foods such as peanuts, tree nuts and fish do not heal quickly.

BREAST MILK PROTECTS AGAINST ALLERGIES

PROF. Dr Bingöl said: “For babies with food allergies, we recommend fruits and vegetables first, and then cereals, as a complementary food for parents. It is important that babies and children receive a balanced diet by paying attention to the variety of nutrients in instead of one type. Young babies are introduced to nutrients early thanks to breast milk. Mother’s milk is a food allergy. It is effective in prevention. Regular contact with allergic foods while breastfeeding accelerates recovery.”
