    The document summarizes several sources on food allergies. It discusses how food allergies have increased in the US and other countries. Children with food allergies are more likely to have other allergic conditions like asthma. Eliminating multiple foods from a child's diet can cause nutritional deficiencies. While food allergies can impact quality of life, one study found children still have an excellent quality of life. Food allergies can sometimes be outgrown as children age, but rates of resolution are slowing.

    The document discusses increasing rates of food allergies in children and explores some of the health risks associated with specific allergies like anaphylactic shock. It also examines nutritional deficiencies that can arise from restrictive diets due to allergies.

    The article discusses two case studies of children who experienced issues like seizures and weight loss due to restrictive diets from their allergies leading to nutritional deficiencies in calcium, vitamins, and minerals. Having multiple food allergies can also negatively impact growth and nutritional levels.

    One study found that children with food allergies still experience an excellent quality of life similar to children without allergies, though the parents' perspectives in the study introduce bias. Managing allergies does require lifestyle adjustments.

    Aaron MacKinnon English 1102-025 Ms. Ingram September 22, 2012 Annotative Bibliography Branum, Amy M., and Susan L. Lukacs. "Food Allergy among U.S. Children Trends in Prevalence and Hospitalizations." N.p., n.d. Web. 20 Sept. 2012 Summary: The number of food allergies that have been reported has increased significantly since the 90s, in the United States. The increase can also be seen in other countries due to survey data. The Hispanic population has a lower rate of food allergies than black or white, at least as shown in surveys. There may be a difference with allergies in comparison with race; however there is not one with sex. Children with food allergies are also likely to gain or have allergic conditions and asthma four times more than with children who do not have food allergies. Children with food allergies and asthma are more likely to experience anaphylactic shock which can lead to death. Hospitalization for food allergies has also increases, which could be related to increased knowledge on the subject of food allergies and symptoms. Dowswell, Robin. "Food Allergy Explained." Dr.Dobbin Nutrition. N.p., n.d. Web. 20 Sept. 2012. Summary: http://www.drdobbin.co.uk/food-allergy-explained-0 The point of this article is to show the different ways thay signs that your child has an allergy can show up. It also explains how it can sometimes be difficult to find out what your child is allergic to due to delayed effects, unless they are tested. It also shows some preventative steps and ways to manage your allergies better. This website also shows what you think is just a headache can actually be an allergy symptom. "Food Allergy." Clinical Practice Guidelines. US Department of Heath and Human Services, 3 Apr. 2012. Web. 20 Sept. 2012. Summary: This article focuses again mainly on the effects of allergies in the short term. It shows statistics on which allergies have the highest percentages. It continues to explain how food allergies can be paired with other skin diseases and allergies. Like the other articles I researched the long-term effects of food allergies are not known for sure so they stick in the present.

    Noimark, Lee, and Helen E. Cox. "Nutritional Problems Related to Food Allergy in Childhood." Pediatric Allergy and Immunology 19.2 (2008): 188-95. Print. Nutritional Problems related to Children with Allergies Summary: 6 to 8 percent of children are affected with allergies at some point in their childhood and the rate is growing. Out of that percentage 20 percent of them have to eliminate certain foods from their normal diet. This article shows children with poor nutrition and secondary morbidity. In Case 1 a 10-month Asian boy was admitted with tonic-chronic seizures. He was a healthy bay from birth and was breast-fed from day of birth on an unrestricted maternal diet. When the child tried other milks he had allergic reactions so until the doctor could pen-point a solution the mother continued to breast-feed. The child was limited to fruits and vegetables only. His diagnosis was of seizures secondary to hypocalcaemia. This was because of nutrition deficiency and his restricted diet, due to his mothers fear of further allergic reaction. He was treated with vitamin D, calcium, and an iron supplement. He began to drink soya as a supplement to breast milk ant cow milk. At the age of 3 he passed a test which allowed him to include cow milk in his diet. Case 2 involves a 5 year-old girl with a history of eczema, known reactions to egg. She later found out that she had allergies to foods she had previously tolerated; cow milk, wheat, fish, and peanuts. She has asthma. Due to allergy test she had to exclude dairy, eggs, gluten, beef, chicken, fish, citrus, tomatoes, and strawberries. She was advised to rotate diets of allowed food so she would not overload her immune system. The girl began to lose weight. Her allergies that she was previously diagnosed with were never detected so foods were re-introduced into her diet. Her good health began to rise again. Elimination diets are dangerous to children with cases of rickets, kwashiorkor, vitamin, and mineral deficiency. Children with 2 or more food allergies have been shown to be shorter and to have less calcium and vitamins in their diet than those with 1 food allergy or age-matched controls. This was lessened if the child received dietetic support. Sicherer, Scott H., Sally A. Noone, and Anne Muoz-Furlong. "The Impact of Childhood Food Allergy on Quality of Life." Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology 87.6 (2001): 461-64. Print. The Effect of Childhood food allergies on the quality of life Summary: This articles information came from 253 members of Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network. The information is rooted from parents with children aging from 5 to 18 years old with

    an average range of 10.8 who have allergies. 59 percent of the observed children were male, 68 percent were allergic to 1 or 2 foods, 32 percent were allergic to 2 or more food, 13 percent had atopic dermatitis, and 33 percent had asthma. The purpose of the study is to see if having allergies will have an effect on childrens abilities in the future. They answered the Childrens Health Questionnaire. 6 to 8 percent of children face the effects of allergies in general. The results are that the children still receive an excellent quality of life that children without allergies receive. The results in this article, however, are bias due to the fact that it is coming from the parents of the children with the allergies.

    Sicherer, Scott H. Understanding and Managing Your Child's Food Allergies. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins UP, 2006. Print. Summary: Part 7 food allergy in the long term Food allergies can be outgrown in children. However, now higher rates in food allergies are directly linked to slow rate resolutions in food allergies. The theory states that our clean living has allowed attacking of harmless proteins in the environment. Most children outgrow tree nut allergies by school-year age and 2 to 5 percent outgrow fish/shell fish allergy. The rate for children to outgrow food allergies slows after the age of 5 or 6. It is possible to have milk allergies into adulthood; this might be the case for other short-lived food allergies like egg, soy, or wheat. Children continue to have positive allergy test after they outgrow their allergies, though there IgE antibody levels might decrease. After an allergy is outgrown children do not usually redevelop the allergy. If allergies reoccur after disappearing questions are raised. How often would a child need to eat a food to not become allergic to it again? Avoiding of a food can backfire and cause an allergy. If an individual avoids the food after having been allergy tested and it being negative they would have to be retested to make sure that they could still eat the select foods.
