Symptoms of ginger allergy

summary

Food allergy is also known as food allergy or digestive system allergy, allergic gastroenteritis and so on. It is IgE mediated and non IgE mediated immune reaction caused by certain food or food additives, which leads to systemic or digestive system allergy.

Symptoms of ginger allergy

For the common gastrointestinal diseases in infants, such as nausea, vomiting, bloody mucus, anorexia, poor defecation, sudden vomiting and diarrhea with shock like manifestations, if the empirical treatment is ineffective, the disease attacks repeatedly, histopathological features, and the symptoms disappear after avoiding the corresponding allergen food, it is suggested that it is caused by food allergy. The related diagnostic diseases were allergic eosinophilic gastroenteritis (Aege), food protein induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES), allergic proctocolitis (AP) and allergic gastrointestinal motility disorder (AGMD).

Among them, AP is the most common food allergy diarrhea in infancy. The average age of onset is 3 months. It is pure breast milk or mixed feeding. The onset of AP is sudden, the diarrhea is not serious, the stool has mucus and blood filaments, and the microscopic examination shows that the leucocytes, red blood cells or occult blood are positive. Generally, it does not affect food intake, and there is no growth retardation or anemia Eosinophilic infiltration of lamina propria, often with a family history of allergic diseases. Although receiving long-term antibiotic treatment, the symptoms were not cured.

For non IgE mediated food allergy (e.g. FPIES, AP) and mixed food induced allergic diseases (e.g. EOE), meaningful history and remission of symptoms after excluding suspicious food can be used as the basis for the diagnosis of food allergy. The guideline recommends the use of oral food provocation test for the diagnosis of food allergy. For patients with supportive history and laboratory examination, positive provocation test can be used to diagnose food allergy. When the patient's symptoms are relieved, whether the exclusion diet of allergic food can be stopped can be judged by whether the oral provocation test turns negative.

matters needing attention

Management of food allergy patients diagnosed with food allergy should avoid ingestion of specific allergens, and doctors should determine whether certain cross reaction foods should also be avoided. For patients with atopic dermatitis, bronchial asthma and eosinophilic esophagitis at the same time, avoiding food with confirmed allergy may reduce the condition of combined diseases. However, for patients who are not sensitized or have no clinical relevance to suspected food, avoiding suspected allergic food can not alleviate the disease, but will bring the risk of nutritional deficiency and growth retardation to patients.
