[Why are there still children in the world who cannot eat breast milk? [Min Su couldn’t believe it. Her daughter, Since the 4-year-old was born, You can only eat five kinds of food: Vegetable puree, beef puree, corn puree, amino acid rice paste and an amino acid milk powder with [rotten eggs and fishy smell]. In addition, Any kind of food will make her seriously allergic, Frequent vomiting, diarrhea, constipation and crying will make her growth and development almost stagnant. As a mother, Min Su insisted that the whole family’s recipe was consistent with the move. Except for the hospital, Move has never stayed anywhere. When Min Su goes to work, Grandma will accompany Move all day long. However, this carefully constructed world is in danger of collapsing at any time. Parents and even pediatricians who have not encountered it cannot understand this growing worry. Is food allergy a common phenomenon in children? In the United States, about 5.9 million children suffer from food allergies. In schools, One in 13 children is allergic to food. There is no relevant epidemiological investigation in China, But all the pediatricians interviewed believed that Over the past 10 years, The rate of food allergy has more than doubled. According to relevant statistics and conservative estimates, Of China’s more than 100 million infants aged 0-6, About 10 million people suffer from varying degrees of food allergy, And will not fade away naturally with age. Moving belongs to the most serious 1% of the allergic children. Mother Min Su and some other parents of children have established the QQ group of “Parents of Allergic Children Alliance”. In less than two years, The group has gathered thousands of parents of severely allergic children across the country. Rare severe allergy, Threats are everywhere. In May 2011, Moving was born. When Min Su was still immersed in the joy of becoming a new mother, When moving, there will be strong rejection of milk and crying, Spray vomiting occurs on the third day of birth. Most babies can start to try supplementary foods at 6 months old. But even low-sensitivity foods such as rice and carrots, When you move, you will have a severe allergic reaction. At the age of 7 months, Min Su first heard of [food protein allergy] from doctors. This is a complex type III allergic disease mediated by IgG (immunoglobulin G). It is also called delayed allergic reaction. What people usually call allergy, It belongs to IgE-mediated rapid allergic reaction. This kind of food intolerance caused by allergy, It can be manifested in oral cavity, gastroesophagus, Any part of the digestive system, such as the colon or rectum, As a result, children will vomit, diarrhea, Some infants may also develop respiratory symptoms such as oral ulcers, gastrointestinal bleeding and cough. Other children’s diet is almost the same as that of adults when they are nearly two years old. Moving still has a very poor appetite, Constantly vomiting or retching, Scattered rashes on the head and face, Large red rashes on chin and neck, I often scratch myself. Sometimes I cry for hours without any reason. In the evening, he was energetic again. Climb up and down. Min Su and his children have seen almost all the experts from major public and private hospitals in the country. But many doctors have never seen this kind of situation. Repeated tests for allergens, food intolerance, Including immune and metabolic genes, No specific problems have been found. Bai Zhonghu, the winner of the National [Thousand-Person Plan], once mentioned in his own article that, In China, Even in 3A hospitals, Fewer than 18 percent of doctors know about food intolerance, However, the awareness rate of doctors in second-class hospitals is less than 6%. Keeping records is the best way to understand allergy. Min Su wants to know whether what food has caused her daughter to suffer like this. At the suggestion of pediatricians, She began to record all the information about her daughter’s life in detail and accurately to minutes: Weather, environment, all daily activities, objects contacted, types and quantities of food consumed and symptoms of each allergy. The following is a normal day: 6: 15, Several times, Old scratching his neck. 8: 00 I retched twice just after eating corn paste, Didn’t spit it out, He went on to eat beef paste. 9: 15 pull medium-sized granular excrement of various colors. 10: It was a pleasure to go out and play, Found a lot of bags on his chin. 12: 05 Noon nap is not steadfast, Breathe rough and look painful. 13: 55 milk drink a mouthful of retching. 17: 00 jumping and playing on the bed, All vomited. Although it was tedious, But Min Su found that After memorizing the five major books, She finally mastered all the food that the child could not eat. After strict control, To grow rapidly, Reactions such as vomiting are also greatly reduced. Min Su thinks: A timely, concise and focused child’s medical history, It is the most effective means to seek medical treatment and deal with allergy problems. Children are allergic, We can’t be too cautious. Su can’t help trying some food for his children. For example, a big and soft marshmallow was eaten happily, but the allergy came as promised. After that, she did not dare to let move try any new food. Move to know strawberries and lemons are all through plastic toys and picture books. The sofa at home is fully covered with a urine barrier, because the fluff on the sofa will cause allergy. The bed and pillow are also covered with mite removal pads. There were daisies, green plants, On closer inspection, It’s all fake. It seems a little too cautious, But for children with severe allergies, Micro-invisible pollutants are also deadly. Motion passed death twice. The first time the killer was a mixed supplementary food. At the age of one year and one month, She ate a mixture of puree and puree, A severe rash followed, And outbreaks of viral encephalitis, Motion soon lost consciousness and convulsed for 15 minutes. The second time was during hospitalization. Motion suddenly had a high fever and chills. His whole body was gray and purple, The doctor used physical cooling, rubbing hard on the discolored skin and a lot of drugs to rescue her. Like all allergic children, Motor immune disorder, Easily infected with a variety of viruses. During hospitalization for encephalitis, Move again in the ward infected with pneumonia, encephalitis just discharged from hospital began to treat pneumonia, during which time due to excessive antibiotics to make allergic reaction more intense. Over the years, Min Su knows a lot about enteritis, encephalitis, pneumonia, rhinitis, rash, eczema. Every time he was hospitalized, he narrowly escaped death. Why does children’s food allergy increase? Wesley Burks is chairman of the American Society of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology. He told Southern Weekend reporters that Twenty years ago, Most children are allergic to only one or two foods, Now the number of infants allergic to various foods is increasing rapidly. This is more like a problem in growth and development. With the improvement of immune function, Most allergic children will be relieved after the ages of 3, 7 and 15. However, 1-2% of children, Like moving, Belonging to the most serious and difficult category to improve, And it has not been widely studied. There are many reasons for the increase of allergy. Professor Beukes pointed out that At present, there are several theories in the medical field: Hygiene Hypothesis: It is believed that living in an environment that is too clean and sanitary, It will deprive people of access to natural microorganisms, Thus affecting the development of the immune system. Environmental pollution: For example, diesel exhaust, particulate matter pollutants, pesticides. Diet style: Different countries have different diets. Kari Nadeau, associate professor of allergy and immunology, believes that, Food allergy may be [a combination of some factors between genes and the environment-air pollutants, tobacco smoke, additives and chemicals]. Parents’ Alliance Promotes Domestic Research Development Currently, The world’s first choice for allergies is to avoid food, That is, stop eating foods that cause allergies. Oral immunotherapy, which Professor Nadeau’s team is currently conducting clinical trials, is one of the most advanced therapies at present. Children who are severely allergic to peanuts have been successfully desensitized. Next, It may be the turn of children with food allergies. Professor Beukes believes that After that, the second and third generations of treatments will desensitize various allergens. After numerous medical visits, She gradually began to accept [Motion is a special child], She began to understand what the doctor said [to give the child time to develop and perfect]. She tried to contact Nadeau. It is hoped that they will set up a trial sub-center for oral tolerance therapy for allergic children in China. On the other hand, She joined volunteers to popularize science for more parents through WeChat platform, Share their translation of foreign studies, Let parents know that when encountering relevant symptoms, First consider [food allergy], Instead of blindly seeking medical treatment and panicking. It is of great significance for parents to take the initiative to understand the relevant knowledge of children’s allergy. The existing pediatricians and medical research in China cannot afford the important task of solving children’s allergy. Especially in infancy. Even in a 3A hospital, Only a handful of doctors know about delayed-onset food allergies, Children will be asked to have IgG tests. Many children suffer from cough and gastrointestinal reactions caused by food allergy. It was treated as pneumonia, enteritis, A large number of antibiotics further destroy children’s intestinal flora, Causing more severe allergic reactions. Written in the last four years, It cost nearly one million yuan to seek medical treatment, But Min Su was glad that after countless failures, Finally, the mobility and allergy problems can coexist peacefully. Recently, She is ready to let Move go to kindergarten again. Her first admission to kindergarten was suspended six months ago because of severe allergy and pneumonia. Although Move is severely allergic to vaccines, has not received any vaccines, and may be at risk again, she knows that communicating with her peers is the most desirable thing for Move nowadays.
