Food & Environmental Allergy Testing: Zonulin & Histamine (Webinar)
Class Description In this live class, James LaValle, RPh, CCN, Infinite Allergy Labs Education Director, will discuss Food & Environmental Allergy Testing: Zonulin & Histamine. He will be diving into the following points: The impacts of meta inflammation on the body Understand the differences between IgE, IgG, IgG4, C3b, andRead
Celiac Disease Up to Nine-Times More Common in Young People Exposed to Everday Chemical Pollutant
Celiac disease is linked to common chemical pollutants, according to the NYU Langone Health, NYU School of Medicine. Elevated blood levels of toxic chemicals found in pesticides, nonstick cookware, and fire retardants have been tied to an increased risk for celiac disease in young people, new research shows. For theRead
Severe Peanut Allergies Linked to Gut Reaction
A new study of 19 people who suffer from severe peanut allergies found an abundance of allergy-causing immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies in the gut, providing valuable insights into the mechanisms of severe allergies to peanuts and other foods, which together affect as much as six percent of the U.S. population.Read
Controversial Antibody Testing Accurately Predicts Sesame Allergies
Investigators at the National Institutes of Health have found that sesame allergy is common among children with other food allergies, occurring in an estimated 17% of this population. In addition, the scientists have found that sesame antibody testing–whose utility has been controversial–accurately predicts whether a child with a food allergyRead
Histamine Intolerance Study Linked to Lower Diamine Oxidase Serum Activities
A histamine intolerance is thought to trigger a plethora of clinical symptoms after ingesting histamine‐rich foods that may be linked to the reduced activity of an enzyme, diamine oxidase (DAO), an enzyme responsible for clearing the body of histamines. No study to date has systematically assessed daily fluctuations of histamineRead
Fish Oil and Probiotics Consumed During Pregnancy May Reduce Childhood Allergies
In one of the largest ever research reports that fish oil and probiotics consumed during pregnancy affects her baby’s allergy and eczema risk, scientists from Imperial College London assessed over 400 studies involving 1.5 million people.
Adult Food Allergies Linked to Prenatal BPA Exposure
If it seems like more of your patients are allergic to, or intolerant of, more and different kinds of foods than ever before, there might be a reason why. A new research published in November 2014 issue of The FASEB Journal, scientists show, for the first time, that there is a link between perinatal exposure to Bisphenol A (BPA) at low doses and the risk to develop food intolerance in later life. By Sadrine Menard et al, The FASEB Journal, November 2014.
Bromelain Limits Airway Inflammation
Allergic asthma continues to increase despite new pharmacological advances for both acute treatment and chronic-disease management. Asthma is a multifactorial disease process with genetic, allergic, infectious, environmental, and dietary origins. Researchers are investigating the benefits of lifestyle changes and alternative asthma treatments, including the ability of bromelain to inhibit inflammation. Bromelain is a commonly used, proteolytically active pineapple extract.
