milk hypersensitivity/carbohydrate

OBJECTIVE of this study was to assess concentrations of sclerostin and biochemical markers of bone metabolism in children with cow's milk allergy. METHODS The study included 45 children (age range 2-6 years) with diagnosed cow`s milk allergy, who were on a dairy-free diet and under systematic

BACKGROUND Because of the high prevalence of cow's milk allergy as one of the most frequent clinical presentations of food allergy in infancy and early childhood, it is important to define the condition accurately. Allergy must be distinguished from the broader term food intolerance, which may be

Lactose is the main carbohydrate in human and mammalian milk. Lactose requires enzymatic hydrolysis by lactase into D-glucose and D-galactose before it can be absorbed. Term infants express sufficient lactase to digest about one liter of breast milk daily. Physiological lactose malabsorption in

Lactose is the main carbohydrate in infant feeding, but its impact decreases as the child gets older and consumes less milk and dairy products. Congenital lactose intolerance is a very rare condition. However, lactase activity may be low and need to mature during the first weeks of life in many

The binding patterns of gliadin and selected lectins to jejunal biopsy specimens obtained from children with total villous atrophy during active celiac disease (CD; 19 patients) and in remission (16 patients) were examined by light microscopy. Three categories of carbohydrate-specific lectins were

OBJECTIVE The use of soy products is common in young children with cow milk allergy (CMA). The aim was to examine prospectively the association between infantile consumption of soy-based formula, growth parameters and early pubertal signs, in comparison to cow milk-based formula. METHODS A nested

Nutraceutical and functional food market are one of the fastest-growing food segments in the newer food product development category. In the recent past, focus of beverage industry has shifted towards making food more nutritious and functionally enriched. To load the food with nutraceutical
