Abstract
Food allergies (FAs) are an emerging health care issue, and a “second wave of the allergy epidemic” was named. There are extensive data that documented the prevalence rate as high as approximately 10%. FAs are immunological adverse reactions, including IgE-mediated mechanisms, cell-mediated mechanisms, or mixed IgE- and cell-mediated mechanisms. A diagnosis of FA is made by specific symptoms encounter with food, detailed past history, sensitization tests, and oral food challenges (OFCs) if necessary. The component-resolved diagnostics (CRD) test can distinguish true or cross-reaction. “Minimal elimination” from the results of CRD and OFC could avoid unnecessary food restriction. Strict food limitation is harsh and stressful on patients and their families. Children with FAs experience a higher rate of post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) and bullying than others. In the last 20 years, oral immunotherapy (OIT), sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT), and epicutaneous immunotherapy (EPIT) are treatment strategies. OIT and EPIT are the most two encouraging treatments for FA. This review aims to introduce FAs in diverse clinical disorders, new perspectives, and their practical implications in diagnosing and treating FA.
