Learning Objectives

  • Understand the current data on atopy

prevention through infant diet

  • Advise families on dietary approaches with

regard to food allergy prevention

Prevention Through Diet

  • Prevention of…
  • Through “ingestion”…

Sensitization Choice of breast milk substitution Breast feeding-with Maternal diet alteration Pregnancy Breast feeding Disease Complementary foods When/what Inflammation

What are “normal” feeding practices?

  • Breast feed
  • Weaning
  • Solids that are easily managed by an infant
  • Progression as teeth erupt

Breast Feeding (focus on eczema)

  • 18 prospective studies ( Gdalevich JAAD 2001; 45:520-

7) – Atopic (OR 0.58; 95% CI, 0.41-0.92) – Non-atopic (OR 0.84; 95% CI, 0.59-1.19)

  • Recent studies suggest genetic differences affect risk

(Hong et al JACI 2011;128:374-81)

  • 21 studies (Yang YW BJD 2009;161:373-383)
  • Overall: OR 0.89 (95% CI 0.76-1.04)
  • vs. formula OR 0.7 (95% CI 0.50-0.99)
  • (but p=NS removing Chandra)
  • ISAAC Study (Flohr C BJD 2011;165:1280-9)
  • 51,119 children. No evidence of overall protection.

Recent studies trend to less protection

Meta-Analysis: Maternal Diet Restriction While Breast Feeding

  • Insufficient evidence that maternal

allergen avoidance prevents atopic disease

  • Possible exception for atopic dermatitis
  • 2 studies
  • 2010 Food Allergy Guidelines: Not

recommended to reduce FA

The German Infant Nutritional Intervention Study

  • “At risk” for atopy (one 1st degree)
  • Randomized to study formula (within context of

instruction to breast-feed)

– Cow’s milk formula (CMF) – Extensively hydrolyzed casein (eHF-C) – Extensively hydrolyzed whey (eHF-W) – Partially hydrolyzed whey (pHF-W)

Randomized Trial of 3 Formulas if Weaning

  • 620 infants positive family history atopy
  • Cow’s milk vs. soy vs partially hydrolyzed

whey at weaning

  • Followed age 2 years (93%) and age 7

(80%)

  • 50% exposed ~5 months, ~75% 1 year
  • No differences in AD, food skin tests,

asthma, rhinitis

Prevention Formulas

  • Soy not recommended for “prevention”

(AAP, NIAID)

  • “Hydrolyzed infant formulas”

recommended over whole cow’s milk protein for “at risk” (NIAID Guideline) and some evidence for reduced atopic dermatitis (slight advantage of extensive casein hydrolysate versus partial whey hydrolysate weighed by cost (AAP)

Dietary Prevention Program, US

  • Randomized, prospective, 288 subjects,
  • ne parent with atopy and sensitization
  • Program:

– Pregnancy, 3rd trimester-no milk, egg, peanut, reduced soy/wheat – Lactation, avoid same, supplement casein hydrolysate – Solids at 6 mo, 12 mo-CM, wheat, soy, 24 mo- egg, 36 mo-peanut, fish

  • Followed to age 7 years

“Prevention”

  • Breast feed 1 year
  • If supplement, “hypoallergenic

formula”

  • Solids delay to age 6 mo
  • Should eliminate Peanut, Tree nuts,

and consider eliminate egg, milk, fish “others” while nursing

  • No Cow’s milk to 12 mo
  • No Egg to age 2 yr
  • No Peanut, Tree Nuts, fish to 3 yr
  • Pregnancy: consider peanut

Ingestion is bad…Uh oh…?

Maybe if you don’t eat it, you touch it, have accidental periodic ingestions that are all sensitizing?
