• #1 Primary Prevention of Allergy – Is It Feasible?

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10359645/

  The allergy epidemic has been attributed to environmental influences related to urbanization and the modern lifestyle. […] The most significant intervention is a paradigm shift from allergen avoidance to early introduction of allergenic foods, particularly egg and peanut, around 6 months of age for the prevention of food allergy. This recommendation has been adopted globally and included in allergy prevention guidelines. […] Other strategies with less robust clinical evidence include: encouraging a healthy balanced diet, rich in fish, during pregnancy; continuing allergenic food intake during pregnancy and lactation; vitamin D supplementation in pregnant women with asthma; discouraging social indications for caesarean section delivery; judicious use of antibiotics in early childhood; daily emollient use from birth in high risk babies; and avoiding cows milk formula use in the first week of life.

  There has been a rapid rise in allergic disorders across the globe. This has increased research into the determinants of allergy development, to identify factors that may be manipulated to mitigate risk. […] In this review, we discuss current literature and recommendations relating to exposures that may prevent allergy development or promote tolerance. […] Delivery by caesarean section, omission of breastfeeding, vitamin D insufficiency, and environmental exposures, such as cigarette smoke exposure, all increase the risk of an allergic predisposition. Dietary diversity during pregnancy, lactation, and in infancy is protective. Breastfeeding for at least 4 months reduces the risk of eczema. Recommendations for food-allergen exposure has shifted from delayed introduction to early introduction as a tolerance-inducing strategy.

  Emollient use in infancy has not been shown to be protective against eczema or food allergy. […] Current evidence suggests that delaying solids beyond 4 months of age does not confer additional allergy protective benefits. The converse appears to be true, delayed introduction may in fact be a risk factor for allergy development. […] The current recommendation of EAACI and AAP is the introduction of complementary foods between 4-6 months according to local standard practice and the needs of the infant, irrespective of atopic heredity. […] There is insufficient evidence that partially or extensively hydrolyzed formulas provide protection against food allergy or eczema. […] There is evidence that earlier introduction of peanut in high risk patients can reduce peanut allergy. […] Maternal avoidance of allergenic foods such as egg, peanut and dairy is not recommended during pregnancy or lactation.

  The incidence of food allergies has risen around the globe, and experts have been exploring methods of preventing such allergies in young children to ease the burden of disease and reduce the morbidity and mortality caused by anaphylaxis to food allergens. Such preventative measures can be categorised as primary, secondary and tertiary prevention, which are discussed in detail in this review. Primary prevention is defined as the prevention of becoming sensitised towards specific allergens. The evidence suggests that avoiding common allergenic foods during pregnancy and breastfeeding is not protective against food allergies, and guidelines recommend weaning from 4 to 6 months of age, with recent studies supporting the early introduction of peanuts at 4 months to prevent peanut allergy. […] Secondary prevention targets patients who are already sensitised and aims to halt the progression of sensitisation, with evidence for high rates of success and safety in trials of early introduction to milk and peanuts using oral immunotherapy in sensitised infants.
