Alergia na mleko
Leczenie

Alergia na mleko krowie, szczególnie powszechna u dzieci, wymaga kompleksowego leczenia opartego na całkowitym unikaniu białek mleka oraz stosowaniu specjalistycznych terapii. Podstawą jest eliminacja wszystkich form mleka i produktów mlecznych, w tym kazeiny, laktoalbuminy, serwatki oraz produktów przetworzonych termicznie. W przypadku reakcji alergicznych stosuje się leki przeciwhistaminowe przy łagodnych objawach oraz epinefrynę w anafilaksji, z koniecznością obserwacji pacjenta przez 4-8 godzin. Nowoczesne metody immunoterapii, takie jak doustna immunoterapia (OIT), immunoterapia z pieczonym mlekiem (BMOIT), immunoterapia podjęzykowa (SLIT) oraz immunoterapia naskórkowa (EPIT), wykazują wysoką skuteczność w zwiększaniu tolerancji na białka mleka i redukcji ryzyka reakcji alergicznych. OIT, trwająca około 12 miesięcy, pozwala na desensytyzację, a BMOIT umożliwia tolerowanie do 4400 mg białka pieczonego mleka po roku terapii. Omalizumab (Xolair), przeciwciało anty-IgE, jest zatwierdzonym lekiem biologicznym, który w połączeniu z OIT przyspiesza desensytyzację i zmniejsza reakcje alergiczne.

Alergia na mleko – Leczenie i terapia

Alergia na mleko jest jedną z najczęstszych alergii pokarmowych, szczególnie u dzieci. Jej leczenie wymaga kompleksowego podejścia, obejmującego zarówno unikanie ekspozycji na alergeny, jak i specjalistyczne terapie. Poniżej przedstawiamy aktualne metody leczenia alergii na mleko, które stosowane są w praktyce klinicznej.12

Unikanie alergenu jako podstawowa strategia terapeutyczna

Podstawową metodą leczenia alergii na mleko jest całkowite unikanie mleka krowiego i produktów zawierających białka mleka. Jest to jedyny skuteczny sposób zapobiegania reakcjom alergicznym u osób uczulonych. Wymaga to starannego czytania etykiet, ponieważ mleko jest powszechnym składnikiem wielu produktów spożywczych.31

Pacjenci z alergią na mleko powinni unikać wszystkich produktów zawierających:

  • Mleko (we wszystkich formach, w tym skondensowane, suszone, odparowane, mleko krowie i od innych zwierząt, niskotłuszczowe, słodowe, tłuszcz mleczny, odtłuszczone, proszek, białko, odtłuszczone, substancje stałe, pełne)4
  • Masło, tłuszcz maślany, olej maślany, kwas maślany, ester(y) maślane4
  • Kazeina, hydrolizat kazeiny, kazeiniany (we wszystkich formach)4
  • Ser, twaróg4
  • Śmietanę, skrzep, krem4
  • Laktoalbuminę, fosforan laktoalbuminy, laktoferynę, laktozę, laktulozę4
  • Hydrolizat białka mlecznego, kazeinę podpuszczkową4
  • Kwaśną śmietanę, serwatkę (we wszystkich formach), jogurt4

Należy pamiętać, że produkty oznaczone jako „bezmleczne” lub „niedairy” nie mają regulacyjnej definicji w USA i mogą nadal zawierać śladowe ilości białek mleka, co stanowi zagrożenie dla osób z ciężką alergią.5

Postępowanie w przypadku reakcji alergicznej

W przypadku wystąpienia reakcji alergicznej po spożyciu mleka, postępowanie zależy od nasilenia objawów:1

Łagodne objawy alergii (np. pokrzywka, niewielki obrzęk wokół ust, dyskomfort żołądkowy) mogą być leczone za pomocą leków przeciwhistaminowych. Należy jednak pamiętać, że łagodne objawy mogą bez ostrzeżenia przerodzić się w poważną reakcję anafilaktyczną.61

Ciężkie reakcje alergiczne (anafilaksja) wymagają natychmiastowego podania epinefryny (adrenaliny) i wizyty na oddziale ratunkowym. Epinefryna jest lekiem pierwszego rzutu w leczeniu anafilaksji i jedynym lekiem, który może odwrócić zagrażające życiu objawy. Osoby z ryzykiem wystąpienia ciężkiej reakcji powinny zawsze nosić przy sobie autostrzykawkę z epinefryną (EpiPen, Adrenaclick i inne).621

Iniekcja epinefryny zaczyna działać natychmiast po podaniu. Ze względu na możliwość wystąpienia drugiej fali objawów anafilaksji, pacjenci powinni być obserwowani w klinice lub szpitalu przez 4-8 godzin po początkowej reakcji.7

Immunoterapia jako metoda leczenia alergii na mleko

Immunoterapia doustna (OIT)

Doustna immunoterapia (OIT) jest obiecującą metodą leczenia alergii na mleko, choć nie została jeszcze zatwierdzona przez FDA. Polega na stopniowym wprowadzaniu małych, zwiększających się dawek alergenu (białka mleka) pod ścisłym nadzorem lekarza.89

OIT umożliwia:910

  • Zwiększenie tolerancji na alergen
  • Zmniejszenie ryzyka reakcji na przypadkowe ekspozycje
  • Poprawę jakości życia poprzez zapewnienie większej elastyczności dietetycznej
  • W niektórych przypadkach możliwość bezpiecznego spożywania mleka i produktów mlecznych

Badania wykazały, że OIT może być skuteczna w leczeniu alergii na mleko u pacjentów w każdym wieku. Skuteczność tej metody potwierdzają badania kliniczne prowadzone przez wiodące instytucje badawcze, w tym Stanford, Duke i Baylor.9

Protokół leczenia OIT zwykle trwa około 12 miesięcy lub dłużej, zanim osiągnie się poziom podtrzymujący, w którym ekspozycja na mleko nie wywołuje już reakcji alergicznej. Celem terapii nie jest umożliwienie regularnego spożywania alergenów pokarmowych w dowolnym czasie (tolerancja), ale zwiększenie ilości pokarmu potrzebnego do wywołania reakcji alergicznej (desensytyzacja).1011

Badania kliniczne wykazały wysoką skuteczność OIT – w jednym z badań 92,3% uczestników było w stanie regularnie spożywać białko mleka po zakończeniu leczenia.12

Immunoterapia z wykorzystaniem pieczonego mleka (BMOIT)

Immunoterapia z wykorzystaniem pieczonego mleka (BMOIT) jest specyficzną formą OIT, w której wykorzystuje się produkty zawierające mleko poddane obróbce termicznej (np. muffiny, ciastka). Badania wykazały, że BMOIT jest dobrze tolerowana i indukuje znaczną desensytyzację zarówno na pieczone, jak i nieogrzewane mleko.1314

W randomizowanym badaniu klinicznym prowadzonym przez dr Jennifer Dantzer stwierdzono, że:1415

  • 73% uczestników BMOIT mogło tolerować 4400 mg białka pieczonego mleka po 12 miesiącach, w porównaniu do 0% uczestników otrzymujących placebo
  • Zmiana ilości tolerowanego pieczonego mleka w grupie BMOIT po 12 miesiącach w porównaniu z wartością wyjściową była zarówno klinicznie, jak i statystycznie istotna
  • Terapia była ogólnie dobrze tolerowana, z akceptowalnym profilem bezpieczeństwa

BMOIT może stanowić bezpieczniejsze podejście dla pacjentów z ciężką alergią na mleko, rozpoczynając od niższej dawki początkowej i stosując bardziej stopniowe zwiększanie dawki w porównaniu do standardowej OIT.16

Terapia z wykorzystaniem „mlecznej drabinki”

Metoda „mlecznej drabinki” (milk ladder) to stopniowe podejście do ponownego wprowadzania mleka krowiego do diety. Polega na stopniowym przechodzeniu od produktów zawierających przetworzone termicznie mleko do produktów zawierających mleko mniej przetworzone.1718

Proces obejmuje 12 kroków, w ramach których stopniowo wprowadza się coraz mniej przetworzone produkty mleczne. Proces pieczenia zmienia strukturę alergenów mleka, zmniejszając ich alergenność, co pozwala niektórym pacjentom tolerować mleko w takiej formie.17

Badania wykazały, że:19

  • Niemowlęta w grupie stosującej „mleczną drabinkę” miały prawie czterokrotnie większe szanse na powodzenie w ponownym wprowadzaniu mleka krowiego
  • 86% pacjentów w grupie „mlecznej drabinki” osiągnęło sukces w porównaniu do 61% w grupie unikającej mleka

Ta metoda jest stosowana z powodzeniem w Irlandii od ponad dekady i wykazuje obiecujące wyniki w bezpiecznym ponownym wprowadzaniu mleka krowiego do diety niemowląt z alergią.19

Terapia z wykorzystaniem omalizumabu

Omalizumab (Xolair) jest pierwszym lekiem biologicznym zatwierdzonym jako terapia alergii pokarmowej, dostępnym do leczenia alergii na mleko. Jest to przeciwciało anty-IgE, które zmniejsza poziom IgE, pomagając organizmowi nie reagować na alergen.8

Stosowanie omalizumabu w leczeniu ciężkiej alergii na mleko krowie wykazało:20

  • Zwiększenie tolerancji na mleko krowie
  • Zapobieganie reakcjom podczas przypadkowego spożycia
  • Skuteczność w leczeniu alergii na mleko u dorosłych

Kombinacja OIT z omalizumabem pozwala na:2122

  • Szybsze zwiększanie spożycia mleka w porównaniu do innych protokołów desensytyzacji
  • Ograniczenie reakcji alergicznych
  • Skuteczne utrzymanie desensytyzacji na mleko krowie, nawet po zaprzestaniu stosowania omalizumabu

W badaniu prowadzonym przez naukowców ze Stanford University i Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital większość uczestników z alergią na mleko, którzy ukończyli schemat leczenia, przeszła podwójnie ślepą próbę prowokacji pokarmowej i była w stanie spożywać odpowiednik 8 uncji mleka lub więcej dziennie.22

Inne metody terapeutyczne w alergii na mleko

Immunoterapia podjęzykowa (SLIT)

Immunoterapia podjęzykowa (SLIT) polega na aplikacji kropli zawierających alergen mleczny pod język, z stopniowo zwiększającym się stężeniem, aby desensytyzować układ immunologiczny w czasie. Jest to wolniejsza, ale bardzo bezpieczna metoda pomocy pacjentom z alergią na mleko.23

SLIT działa podobnie do zastrzyków na alergię, ale serum alergenowe (zawierające śladowe ilości białek mleka) jest podawane pod język, gdzie wchłania się do krwiobiegu przez specjalne komórki w jamie ustnej. Z czasem organizm może zbudować tolerancję na białka mleka, tak że organizm przestanie reagować w nieprzyjemny sposób podczas trawienia produktów mlecznych.24

Zaletą SLIT jest łatwość stosowania – wymaga jedynie codziennej aplikacji kropli pod język, co może znacząco zmienić życie osób, które musiały unikać określonych pokarmów przez lata.24

Immunoterapia naskórkowa (EPIT)

Immunoterapia naskórkowa (EPIT) wykorzystuje plastry przyklejane na skórę do zmniejszenia wrażliwości na alergen pokarmowy. Ta metoda była badana przez kilka lat, głównie w odniesieniu do alergii na orzeszki ziemne, mleko i jaja.25

Viaskin milk to system dostarczania alergenu przez skórę, który w badaniach klinicznych wykazał obiecujące wyniki:2627

  • Codzienna immunoterapia dostarczana przez plaster skórny zmniejszyła ryzyko reakcji, w tym anafilaksji, u dzieci z alergią na mleko krowie zależną od IgE
  • Leczenie nie wymaga codziennego spożywania alergenu, co stanowi obiecujący rozwój w przestrzeni terapeutycznej alergii pokarmowych
  • Wykazuje potencjał w zakresie desensytyzacji dzieci na alergię na mleko

Badania fazy II wykazały, że plaster skórny mógł uwrażliwić ponad 60% dzieci z silną alergią na mleko. Terapia może być pierwszą, która rozwiąże problem alergii pokarmowych zagrażających życiu, szczególnie u dzieci, które mogą być przypadkowo narażone na pokarm, na który są uczulone.28

Program Indukcji Tolerancji (TIP)

Program Indukcji Tolerancji (TIP) to innowacyjne podejście do leczenia alergii na mleko, wykorzystujące uczenie maszynowe i sztuczną inteligencję do tworzenia zindywidualizowanych planów leczenia.29

Przełomowe badanie opublikowane w Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology wykazało, że:3031

  • TIP znacząco obniża szkodliwe przeciwciała IgE specyficzne dla mleka krowiego i markery diagnostyczne, jednocześnie zwiększając ochronne przeciwciała IgG4 u dzieci z ciężkimi alergiami
  • Wszystkie 214 uczestników badania osiągnęło remisję anafilaksji na mleko krowie
  • Remisja definiowana jest jako co najmniej siedem dni braku reakcji na alergen przy ekspozycji na wysokie dawki białka

Badania wykazały również, że:2932

  • 100% uczestników osiągnęło remisję alergii na mleko
  • Wszyscy pacjenci mogą obecnie otwarcie spożywać nieograniczone ilości mleka
  • Program wykazał silny profil bezpieczeństwa, z tylko 0,01% z 56 443 prób prowokacji pokarmowych wymagających epinefryny
  • Wszyscy uczestnicy utrzymali rok remisji bez incydentów

TIP różni się od OIT tym, że pacjenci po osiągnięciu remisji mogą jeść tak swobodnie jak osoby bez alergii, podczas gdy OIT ma na celu desensytyzację pacjentów, aby chronić ich przed przypadkową ekspozycją.33

Nowe metody wykorzystujące bakterie jelitowe

Naukowcy odkryli związek między bakteriami jelitowymi a powodzeniem doustnej immunoterapii w alergii na mleko. Badania wykazały, że obecność Bifidobacterium, rodzaju korzystnych bakterii z rodziny Bifidobacteriaceae, była związana z większą szansą powodzenia leczenia.34

To odkrycie może pomóc w opracowaniu skuteczniejszych doustnych immunoterapii, być może poprzez łączenie ich z suplementami probiotycznymi. Następnym krokiem jest zbadanie mechanizmów leżących u podstaw tego zjawiska i opracowanie sposobów poprawy skuteczności doustnej immunoterapii.35

Leczenie alergii na mleko u niemowląt i dzieci

Karmienie piersią i dieta eliminacyjna matki

Karmienie piersią jest zalecane, szczególnie jeśli dziecko jest narażone na wysokie ryzyko rozwoju alergii na mleko. Białka mleka krowiego mogą jednak przenikać przez mleko matki do dziecka i mogą powodować reakcję alergiczną.36

Jeśli dziecko ma alergię na białko mleka krowiego:3738

  • Matka powinna wyeliminować wszystkie pokarmy zawierające białko mleka krowiego, w tym ser, jogurt i masło ze swojej diety
  • Dziecko powinno być karmione zgodnie z dietą bezmleczną
  • Próba diety bezmlecznej jest najlepszym sposobem zdiagnozowania alergii na mleko krowie, ponieważ nie ma wiarygodnych testów u dzieci poniżej 1 roku życia

Dieta eliminacyjna matki podczas karmienia piersią powinna być prowadzona pod nadzorem specjalisty, a po 2-4 tygodniach na diecie bezmlecznej zwykle konieczne jest ponowne wprowadzenie mleka krowiego do diety matki lub standardowej mieszanki dla niemowląt, aby potwierdzić alergię.39

Mieszanki mlekozastępcze

Dla niemowląt z alergią na mleko, które nie są karmione piersią lub są karmione metodą mieszaną, dostępne są specjalne mieszanki mlekozastępcze:4041

Formuły ekstensywnie hydrolizowane (eHF): Są to formuły, w których białka mleka zostały intensywnie rozłożone za pomocą enzymów. U większości dzieci (około 90%) alergia na mleko może być odpowiednio leczona za pomocą ekstensywnie hydrolizowanych formuł na bazie białka serwatkowego lub kazeiny. Jedynymi formułami odpowiednimi do leczenia są te, które spełniają kryterium tolerancji (z 95% przedziałem ufności) przez co najmniej 90% pacjentów z potwierdzoną alergią na mleko.40

Formuły na bazie aminokwasów (AAF): Są to formuły składające się z pojedynczych aminokwasów, które są nawet bardziej rozłożone, co ułatwia ich trawienie. AAF jest uważana za najlepszą opcję formuły zbliżoną do niealegennej, ponieważ składa się z pojedynczych aminokwasów. Formuły na bazie aminokwasów powinny być ograniczone do dzieci, które nie tolerują formuł ekstensywnie hydrolizowanych.4243

Formuły sojowe: Mogą być rozważane u dzieci powyżej 6 miesiąca życia. Nie należy ich jednak stosować u niemowląt poniżej szóstego miesiąca życia. Niektóre niemowlęta mogą reagować na soję w taki sam sposób, jak reagują na mleko krowie, dlatego należy je wprowadzać z ostrożnością.3940

Wybór odpowiedniej formuły powinien być dokonany w porozumieniu z lekarzem i zależy od wieku dziecka oraz charakterystyki klinicznej alergii na mleko krowie.44

Monitorowanie i ponowne wprowadzanie mleka

Większość dzieci wyrasta z alergii na mleko w ciągu pierwszych 5 lat życia:4045

  • 50% toleruje białko mleka krowiego do 1 roku życia
  • 75% do 3 lat
  • 90% do 6 lat

Dlatego ważne jest regularne ocenianie alergii i rozważenie próby ponownego wprowadzenia mleka krowiego. Dieta eliminacyjna powinna być kontynuowana przez co najmniej jeden rok, a następnie powinno się przeprowadzać ponowną ocenę co 6 miesięcy.45

Gdy dziecko ma 9-12 miesięcy i stosowało dietę bezmleczną przez co najmniej 6 miesięcy, można użyć „mlecznej drabinki” do sprawdzenia, czy nabyło tolerancję.46

Nie należy próbować samodzielnie wprowadzać mleka bez nadzoru lekarza. Ponowne wprowadzenie powinno odbywać się pod nadzorem specjalisty, z wykorzystaniem nadzorowanych testów, takich jak próba prowokacji pokarmowej, aby określić, czy dziecko musi nadal unikać pokarmu, czy może włączyć go do swojej diety.47

Wsparcie żywieniowe i suplementacja

Jeśli konieczne jest długoterminowe wykluczenie mleka z diety, niezbędne jest zapewnienie alternatywnego źródła wapnia i białka, aby zapewnić odpowiednie odżywianie i wzrost.48

Niemowlęta i dzieci, które muszą wykluczyć mleko krowie i inne produkty mleczne, powinny być nadzorowane, oceniane i kontrolowane przez dietetyka. Może być konieczne przyjmowanie suplementów w celu zastąpienia wapnia i składników odżywczych znajdujących się w mleku, takich jak witamina D i ryboflawina.4836

Po ukończeniu przez dziecko pierwszego roku życia można stosować następujące napoje roślinne, jeśli dziecko dobrze się rozwija:39

  • Napoje sojowe
  • Napoje owsiane
  • Napoje kokosowe
  • Napoje migdałowe
  • Napoje ryżowe

Należy upewnić się, że wybrane napoje zawierają dodany wapń. Sojowe i kokosowe jogurty, sery, kremy i puddingi mleczne są dostępne i powinny być oferowane jako zamienniki nabiału od 6 miesiąca życia.49

Edukacja i wsparcie pacjenta

Właściwa edukacja rodziców i opiekunów jest niezbędna w leczeniu alergii na mleko:42

  • Rodzice powinni być dokładnie poinformowani o tym, jak czytać etykiety żywności
  • Wszyscy opiekunowie powinni być przeszkoleni w rozpoznawaniu objawów reakcji alergicznej
  • Rodziny powinny otrzymać plan działania w przypadku alergii, który pomoże im przygotować się, rozpoznać i leczyć reakcje alergiczne
  • Dzieci z alergią na mleko powinny nosić przy sobie epinefrynę lub powinna być ona łatwo dostępna w miejscach, gdzie regularnie spędzają czas, takich jak szkoła, przedszkole i dom

Wsparcie psychologiczne jest również ważne, ponieważ alergia na mleko może znacząco wpływać na jakość życia pacjentów i ich rodzin. Programy edukacyjne powinny obejmować nie tylko aspekty medyczne, ale także strategie radzenia sobie z wyzwaniami społecznymi i emocjonalnymi związanymi z alergią.50

Przyszłość leczenia alergii na mleko

Badania nad nowymi metodami leczenia alergii na mleko są intensywnie prowadzone. Przyszłe kierunki obejmują:5152

  • Xolair (omalizumab) – lek już zatwierdzony do leczenia astmy i przewlekłej pokrzywki, może chronić przed ciężkimi reakcjami na orzeszki ziemne, jaja, mleko i inne pokarmy
  • Wstępna analiza wykazała, że Xolair znacząco zwiększył ilość orzeszków ziemnych i mleka, jaj i nerkowców potrzebną do wywołania reakcji alergicznej u dzieci i młodzieży z alergiami pokarmowymi
  • Wykorzystanie sztucznej inteligencji i białek biosymilarnych do przekształcania układu odpornościowego pacjentów z alergią pokarmową
  • Badania nad wpływem mikrobioty jelitowej na skuteczność immunoterapii

Alergia na mleko, choć obecnie nieuleczalna, może być skutecznie zarządzana dzięki dostępnym metodom terapeutycznym. Dla wielu pacjentów, zwłaszcza dzieci, prawdopodobne jest wyrośnięcie z alergii z czasem. Tymczasem przestrzeganie zasad bezpieczeństwa, ścisła współpraca z zespołem medycznym i rozważenie odpowiednich opcji terapeutycznych może znacząco poprawić jakość życia osób z alergią na mleko.53

    If you are diagnosed with a food, or specifically milk or casein, allergy, your doctor may advise you to carry injectable epinephrine with you in case you accidentally eat a food containing casein and have a reaction. Your doctor or pharmacist can show you how to give the epinephrine. You may also want to keep an over-the-counter antihistamine on hand to help alleviate allergy symptoms. In the case of a severe or serious reaction, though, the antihistamine will not be effective. In that case, you need epinephrine, which is the same as adrenaline, the chemical your body produces at times of excitement or stress. […] If you experience a severe allergic reaction with symptoms of anaphylaxis, give yourself the epinephrine to counteract the reaction until help arrives. Do not hesitate to use the epinephrine auto-injector, even if you aren’t sure that you are having an allergic reaction. The medication won’t hurt and could save you. Call 911 for emergency help. Because up to one-third of anaphylactic reactions can have a second wave of symptoms several hours following the initial attack, you may need to be observed in a clinic or hospital for four to eight hours after the initial reaction. […] The best treatment for milk/casein allergy is prevention or avoidance. To prevent an allergic reaction to casein, you must follow a casein-free diet, avoiding all foods that contain milk or milk products.

    MILK AND EGG IMMUNOTHERAPY […] About 2.5% of US children are allergic to cows milk, and 1.3% are allergic to eggs. […] The traditional approach to food allergy is avoiding the food to which one is allergic, and keeping medications available for emergency use. Oral Immunotherapy involves cautiously eating the food to which one is allergic, while being monitored in your allergists office. […] The goal of Oral Immunotherapy (Desensitization) is not to allow a person to regularly consume the allergenic foods at any time, i.e. tolerance. Instead, the program is designed to increase the amount of food it takes to trigger a worrisome allergic reaction. […] Oral Immunotherapy has been successfully accomplished at research centers and private practice settings for peanuts, tree nuts, sesame seed, egg, cows milk, and other foods. […] We offer a food allergy desensitization program for individuals who are allergic to peanut, tree nuts, sesame seed, egg, cows milk, and several other foods.

    https://foodallergiesatlanta.com/food-allergy-blog/can-you-treat-a-milk-allergy-with-oral-immunotherapy/
    Milk allergy treatments in Atlanta. […] One solution that consistently draws attention is oral immunotherapy treatment (OIT). But is OIT really effective in preventing allergic reactions to milk? […] Oral immunotherapy treatment is a process that involves building tolerance to an allergen through carefully administered doses. […] OIT is helpful for milk allergies as there are numerous products containing cows milk, and the chances of accidental exposure are high. With OIT, over time an individual should be able to consume milk without any signs of an allergic reaction. […] As it targets immune system sensitivities, OIT is useful only for allergies. […] Oral immunotherapy treatment has been shown to be effective in treating milk allergies. In fact, a trial found that 92.3% of participants were able to consume milk protein regularly after treatment. […] A consultation will help determine if you or your child are appropriate candidates for OIT, and set a positive path forward in treating your allergy. […] Oral immunotherapy is a treatment where a patient ingests small doses of an allergen to build up resistance.

    https://www.aaaai.org/about/news/news/2024/baked
    Research shows after 12 and 24 months of treatment, participants experienced significant desensitization to milk products. Baked milk oral immunotherapy (BMOIT) is well tolerated and induces substantial desensitization to both baked and unheated milk according to new research being presented at the 2024 AAAAI Annual Meeting. […] We were excited to find that baked milk oral immunotherapy in children with severe milk allergy appears to be both safe and efficacious said primary author, Jennifer Dantzer, MD, MHS. […] Cow’s milk allergy is among the most common food allergies in young children, and with no currently known treatment options, this research provides valuable evidence for potential treatment paths in the future.

    Most patients with severe cows milk allergy can be safely desensitized to substantial levels of baked milk through baked milk oral immunotherapy, according to a study published in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology. […] 73% of baked milk oral immunotherapy participants could tolerate 4,400 mg of baked milk protein after 12 months, compared to 0% of participants who received a placebo. […] After 1 year of treatment, those in the BMOIT group could ingest without symptoms significantly more baked milk, in the form of cake, than those who had received placebo oral immunotherapy, Dantzer said. […] The change in the amount of baked milk tolerated in the BMOIT at month 12 compared with baseline was both clinically and statistically significant, she added. […] This randomized controlled trial by Dantzer and colleagues is notable insofar as it applies a standardized OIT an increasingly utilized method for systematically desensitizing food-allergic patients to their specific food allergen to patients with allergy to baked cows milk.

    Cows milk allergy is the most common food allergy in young children and has no current treatment. […] Over the past decade, studies have demonstrated promising results for food oral immunotherapy (OIT), which is a process providing gradually increasing doses of allergenic proteins with the goal of inducing desensitization. […] In a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled (DBPC) clinical trial recently published in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (JACI), Dantzer and colleagues investigated the safety and efficacy of baked milk OIT in 3-18-year-old children with severe milk allergy. […] After 12 months of treatment, participants underwent a DBPC food challenge to up to 4044 mg (1/2 cup) of baked milk. The study found that after 12 months of treatment, baked milk OIT was significantly more effective than placebo at allowing participants to tolerate 4044 mg (1/2 cup) of baked milk during the DBPC food challenge.

    Remarkably, unlike a previous study by Goldberg and colleagues published in 2015 in this same journal that found baked milk OIT to be unsuccessful in most patients and associated with a high rate of adverse events, the present study by Dantzer and colleagues had greater success with their baked milk OIT protocol, which incorporated a lower starting dose and more gradual dose-escalation. […] While it is unknown how much higher a dose those participants could tolerate after treatment due to the nature of the study design, being able to tolerate these doses is likely to provide considerable protection against accidental exposure to baked milk and could permit some limited deliberate consumption of baked milk-containing foods, such as a birthday cupcake or special holiday baked goods, depending on the recipe. […] That said, these are promising data, and they highlight the need for further study of this promising modality for treatment of severe cows milk allergy.

    The role of dietetics advance therapy such as the milk ladder shows promising opportunities in favor of the patient, Trujillo said. […] It is important to note that the 12-step process involves gradually progressing from heated milk products to less heated ones, as the baking process alters the structure of milk allergens, thereby decreasing allergenicity. […] National and international allergy management guidelines may need to be updated to reflect the evidence supporting the milk ladder approach, encouraging wider adoption and standardization of the method. […] Health care professionals should consider implementing close monitoring protocols during the reintroduction process to address any adverse reactions quickly, ensuring the safety and well-being of the child throughout treatment.

    Cow’s milk allergy (also known as cow’s milk protein allergy or CMPA) is an immune system response to proteins found in cow’s milk, primarily casein and whey. […] If you suspect your child has cow’s milk allergy do not delay in seeking advice from your GP or Health Visitor. […] Your GP is responsible for the diagnosis process and for providing ongoing care, with support from a dietitian for any confirmed mild-to-moderate type of delayed non-IgE mediated cow’s milk. […] Fortunately, most children will grow out of their cow’s milk allergy in early childhood. Until that happens, your GP or allergy specialist will work with you, usually with the supporting help of a dietitian, to ensure that your child remains healthy whilst excluding all forms of cow’s milk from their diet. […] A milk ladder can be used to help assist in the reintroduction of cow’s milk into your child’s diet. A milk ladder is a step-by-step approach to reintroducing cow’s milk into the diet for those diagnosed with cow’s milk allergy.

    Infants in the milk ladder group were almost four times more likely to be successful in reintroducing cows milk. […] Dietary advancement therapy using a milk ladder shows that cows milk can be safely reintroduced to infants with a cows milk allergy, according to a study in Pediatric Allergy and Immunology. […] This strategy needs several outpatient follow-ups and allergy tests like skin prick testing and specific IgE to decide the optimal timing to complete an OFC, Trujillo continued. […] He further explained that Ireland has been using the milk ladder, which is a step-by-step approach to reintroducing cows milk into the diet, for over a decade with demonstrated results; however, a comparison between the two strategies has not been performed. […] Successful re-introduction of milk into patients diet in the milk ladder group was expected (86% in milk ladder vs. 61% in milk avoidance); however, 25% more than the avoidance group was more than we were thinking, Trujillo said.

    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9904097/
    Background: The therapy of severe food allergy so far consists mainly of allergen abstinence and emergency treatment. The use of anti-IgE antibodies represents a promising therapy. […] An off-label therapy with omalizumab (3 150 mg/month SC) and cetirizine 10 mg once daily was initiated. Under this therapy, we performed a double-blind oral exposure test to cows milk in the patient after long term. […] Under therapy with omalizumab, an increase of the tolerance to cows milk was shown in our patient. As a consequence, reactions during accidental consumption could be prevented. […] Overall, the treatment of severe IgE-mediated food allergies with anti-IgE antibodies represents a promising therapeutic approach. […] Our case demonstrates the effective therapy of cows milk allergy with omalizumab in an adult and reinforces previous results. […] This case highlights omalizumab as an option to be discussed in individual cases of food allergy, especially in patients with severe symptoms and life-threatening anaphylactic reactions.

    Milk allergy involves a malfunction of the immune system in which the body misperceives proteins in milk as foreign invading armies and tries to attack them by releasing chemicals such as histamine into the body. […] For people with milk allergies, AllergyEasy, a leading innovator of allergy testing and treatment, announces a pain-free therapy known as sublingual immunotherapy. It can offer hope beyond just avoiding milk. […] Sublingual immunotherapy works similar to allergy shots, but the allergy serum (containing traces of milk proteins) is dispensed under the tongue where it absorbs into the bloodstream through special cells in the mouth. Over time, the body may build up a tolerance to the milk proteins so the body will stop reacting in uncomfortable ways when it digests milk products. […] „It’s easy to stick with. It’s just a drop under the tongue each day,” said Dr. Agren. „It’s very life-changing for people to be able to eat foods that they’ve had to avoid for years.”

    The definitive treatment for all food allergies is the strict elimination of the food from the diet. If a child starts on a milk-free diet, the doctor or dietitian can help plan nutritionally balanced meals. The parent or child may need to take supplements to replace calcium and nutrients found in milk, such as vitamin D and riboflavin. […] Breastfeeding is recommended, particularly if the infant is at high risk of developing milk allergy. Cow’s milk proteins passed through breastmilk to the child and may cause an allergic reaction. If the child has a cow’s milk allergy, then the mother should eliminate all foods containing cow’s milk protein, including cheese, yogurt, and butter from her diet. […] Hypoallergenic formulas: These formulas are hydrolyzed via enzymes to break down the milk proteins. Depending on their processing level, products are classified as either partially or extensively hydrolyzed/elemental formulas. Recommendations are for extensively hydrolyzed formulas due to increased allergenicity and associated reactions in partially hydrolyzed formulas.

    The safest strategy for the management of CMPA is the strict avoidance of CMP for a defined period. […] In artificially-fed infants with CMPA, extensively hydrolyzed formula is the first choice. Soy formula may be considered above 6 months of age. Amino acid formulas are needed only in a small subset of infants. […] Management of IgE-mediated CMPA: When an infant with CMPA presents with classical symptoms of IgE-mediated allergy such as angioedema, urticaria or anaphylaxis, emergency care should be provided as for any allergy, and all forms of CMP should be immediately withdrawn. In mild to moderate allergy, eHF is the first choice. […] The elimination diet should be continued for at least one year and re-evaluation done every 6 months subsequently.
