Abstract

The incidence of food hypersensitivity has increased dramatically over the years not only among children but also in adults. Adult patients are usually less suspected of food hypersensitivity symptoms since food allergies are more typical for small children, with a tendency to outgrow the condition. The aim of this article is to increase awareness of hypersensitivity to food symptoms and their diagnosis and treatment possibilities among gastroenterologists and other health care professionals dealing with this type of patient. Symptoms of many gastrointestinal disorders, especially functional, may be driven by different types of mechanisms, and food intolerance or allergy should be considered as a potential cause. This article presents the current understanding of the epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment of immune- and non-immune-mediated food-induced diseases. Diagnosis of food hypersensitivity is based mainly on medical history, different types of sensitivity tests, e.g., hydrogen breath test, specific IgE (sIgE) serum concentration, tissue eosinophil count, skin tests and oral food challenges considered as a “gold standard” for food allergy. Elimination diet and pharmacologic treatment for allergy symptoms are first-line therapies. Eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases are often caused by non-IgE-mediated food allergies, require endoscopic biopsy samples to confirm diagnosis and proper elimination diet often combined with steroids or proton pump inhibitor agents for treatment. Mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) derives from pathologic reaction of mast cells with increased tryptase serum level as a marker. Symptoms may occur in the digestive, respiratory, skin, neurologic and cardiovascular system. Treatment is based on histamine type 1, type 2 (H1, H2) receptor antagonists and other mast cell stabilizing agents. Carbohydrate intolerances are the most common type of food hypersensitivity in adult patients, and an elimination diet is effective for reducing symptoms. Food additives hypersensitivity remains difficult to diagnose, but use of a diet low in chemical substances alleviates symptoms and helps to diagnose the triggering factors.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
