Is food intolerance one of the causes of autism?
Milk protein allergy often occurs in infants under one year old, and the incidence rate has been rising in recent years. Non-IgE mediated milk protein allergy accounts for almost 80%. The symptoms of non-IgE-mediated milk protein allergy are mainly digestive tract symptoms, such as bloody stool, diarrhea, etc. Most children will vomit milk after 1-4 hours, and there are growth retardation. These are clinical manifestations of non-IgE-mediated milk protein allergy.

Milk protein allergy can cause three systemic symptoms. First, the symptoms of the digestive tract, the baby will spit milk, refuse milk, diarrhea, bloody stool, etc.; Second, skin symptoms, the most common are infantile eczema and urticaria; The third is respiratory symptoms, which can be manifested as repeated colds, respiratory infections, rhinitis and severe asthma.

Treatment status of milk protein allergy;

Milk protein allergy should be replaced by partially hydrolyzed milk powder, deeply hydrolyzed milk powder and amino acid milk powder, and allergens should be avoided first. Children who are allergic to milk protein will face nutritional problems, height and weight problems, language and fine motor development problems, and even psychological problems if they are fed without protein for a long time.

At present, studies have confirmed that autism, ADHD and TIC disorder are directly related to allergies. From eczema, diarrhea, constipation, feeding difficulties and growth retardation caused by food intolerance and milk protein allergy in infancy, to children's specific dermatitis, long-term skin itching, allergic rhinitis and allergic asthma, chronic allergic reactions lasting for several years or even longer will affect the development of the brain nervous system, thus leading to behavioral changes such as hyperactivity disorder, TIC disorder, inattention in learning, easy fighting in adolescence, emotional changes and personality changes, which are all related to chronic allergies.

Food intolerance and food allergy tests?

At present, the treatment strategy for milk protein allergy is still mainly to avoid milk protein and choose deep hydrolysis formula milk powder, which seriously affects the choice of amino acid formula milk, but this method has poor effect. First, it will greatly limit the nutritional intake of infants or children, which will easily lead to malnutrition. In addition, with the emergence of a large number of new food ingredients and genetically modified foods, it is difficult to completely avoid the intake of food antigens. Although the baby with milk allergy can replace hypoallergenic milk powder, it still can't solve the problem of children's allergic constitution.

The specific antiallergic strains contained in Kangminyuan probiotics were developed by the National national cheng kung university Allergy and Clinical Immunology Research Center of Taiwan Province Province. The protective mechanism of Kangminyuan antiallergic probiotics on food allergy. Source: Functionnal Foods (SCI impact factor: 3.47) Abstract: Kangminyuan antiallergic probiotics can reduce the contents of IgE and IgG in serum. Promote the production of IgA, inhibit food allergy symptoms, induce the production of dendritic cells (DCs) of CD 103+, promote the production of regulatory T lymphocytes (Treg), promote intestinal immune balance, and help adjust allergic constitution.

Intestinal IgA mucosal immune response of infants allergic to milk protein has attracted more and more attention in the medical field. Kangminyuan probiotics can induce the generation of CD 103 dendritic cells and promote the expression of IgA. The role of immunoglobulin IgA is to protect intestinal epithelial tissue, so that bacteria, viruses and antigens are not easy to adhere to the surface of intestinal mucosa, thus preventing them from being absorbed. When SIgA is deficient, antigens may invade the body in large quantities, thus achieving oral immune food tolerance-IgA.
