1. What are allergens?

Allergens are proteins that can trigger allergic reactions. At Vini Mini we talk about food allergens.

2. What is the difference between a food allergy and an intolerance?

The immune system plays a role in a food allergy (immunological mechanism), but not in the case of food intolerance. In addition, in the case of food allergy there is a difference between immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated and non-IgE mediated.

IgE-mediated responses are characterized by receiving specific symptoms, normally within 1-2 hours of ingestion or exposure to the food allergen.

A non-IgE mediated response is characterized by a delayed response (24-48 hours) of the immune system after exposure to the food allergen.

Intolerance is a collective term for reactions to food that are not allergic in nature. For example, lactose intolerance (milk sugar) and gluten intolerance (celiac disease). Complaints that occur here are often stomach and intestinal complaints.

With early introduction of allergens you can reduce the risk of an (IgE)-mediated allergy.

Several studies have been conducted on early introduction of allergens and the prevention of food allergies. The best known are the EAT, LEAP en PETIT-studies.

De LEAP-studieshowed that it avoiding peanuts versus consistently eating peanuts before 1 year of age could increase the likelihood that children developed a peanut allergy.

Of the children who avoided peanut, 17% developed a peanut allergy by the age of 5 years. Of the children who correctly ate peanuts in 3 or more meals per week, only 3% developed a peanut allergy by age 5.

De PETIT study examined whether early introduction of eggs in infants with eczema would prevent an egg allergy at 1 year of age.

The study found that the introduction of boiled egg along with eczema treatment was effective in preventing an egg allergy in high-risk infants.
