Allergies including interference that becomes an important health problems at the age of the child. This interference was able to attack all organs without exception. Starting from head to toe with a variety of dangers and complications that might occur. Later it was revealed that allergies cause dangerous complications, because allergies can interfere with any organ or body system including brain function disorders. Disruption of brain function that will arise developmental disorder and behavior disorders in children such as concentration, emotional disturbances, delayed talking, disturbance of concentration to aggravate the symptoms of people with Autism and ADHD.
Seeing so large and the number of possible allergic effects could occur, then the detection and prevention of allergy should be performed early. Symptoms and risk factors for allergy can be detected from birth, perhaps even in the womb. Food allergies do not happen to everyone, but most people have the potential to be allergic. It seems that most people when examined had an allergic reaction. But others have never experienced an allergic reaction. There are 3 factors cause food allergies, ie genetic factors, imaturitas intestine, exposure that sometimes require allergy trigger.
Food allergies can be derived from a parent or a grandparent in patients. If there are elderly people suffering from allergies we should be aware of allergies in children signs early on. If there is one parent who suffering allergy symptoms can reduce the risk to children around 20 – 40%, to two parents increased the risk of allergy to 40 – 80%. While if there is no history of allergies in both parents the risk is 5 – 15%. In this last case can happen when a grandmother, grandfather or a close relative of the parents have allergies.
Since the detection of Gynecology
Early detection is theoretically possible allergy sufferers in the womb. Although until now there has been no way optimal, practical, safe and inexpensive way to find early symptoms of allergies in the womb .. Allergic exposure stimulates the production of specific IgE can already occurred since the baby in the womb. Given the existence of fetal-specific IgE to penicillin, wheat, eggs and milk.
Environmental factors may work before and after birth. Environmental factors before birth can influence T cell differentiation into specific allergen TH2 phenotype, so that allergy atopy was working before birth. A successful pregnancy is marked with a TH1 to TH2 shift in phase between Fetomaternal to reduce the maternal immune system reactivity to the fetal allograft. Until now, early detection of allergies in the womb has not done in depth and only limited research.
The author has made the observation that the movement or movements refluk osephagus hiccups (hiccups) in the fetus and fetal movements in the belly of a greatly increased especially during the night until morning is a strong predictive factor for allergy-risk infants. These kicks are too strong, usually accompanied by pain in the gut of the mother. In early studies limited the authors obtain significant results. Observations made on 25 pregnant women with excessive fetal movement and the movement of reflux osephagus (hiccups / hiccups) in the fetus during pregnancy, especially at night. After elimination of certain foods looks significantly fetal movement is much reduced.
Sensitization in utero has happened this can be seen that there is an allergic reaction to cow’s milk to neonates. Maternal IgE can not be through the placental barrier, so that there is a cow’s milk protein particles that circulate in maternal blood through the placenta. This can be proved that there is a proliferation lomfosit on neonatal umbilical cord. Newborns had tersentisisasi since the pregnancy if the specific IgE levels of the cord> 0.35 kU / l.
Risks and allergy symptoms can be identified and detected in the womb and at birth, thus preventing allergy symptoms can be done as early as possible if necessary since in the womb. The risk of complications, organ disorders and behavioral disorders in children is expected to be reduced or avoided.
Clinical manifestations Early Detection Since Baby
Allergy is an inflammatory process that is not only a fast and slow reactions, but also a chronic inflammatory process is complex, influenced by genetic factors, environmental and internal controls. Various mast cells, basophils, eosinophils, lymphocytes and molecules such as IgE, mediators of cytokines, chemokines is a component of the role of inflammation. Clinical symptoms occur because the reaction imunologik through the release of several mediators that may interfere with certain organs called target organs. Modern allergist allergy attacks argued on the basis of the target organs (target organs). Target organs such as the lungs are the clinical manifestations of cough or asthma. If the target will appear as skin itching and red spots on the skin. If the target organs of the digestive tract symptoms are diarrhea and so on. Composition of the Central Nervous System or the brain can also be a target organ, especially the brain is an organ that is sensitive and weak. Central nervous system is a central coordination body and noble function. So you can imagine if the brain is disrupted many resulting clinical manifestations may include behavioral disorders in children. Moreover, the common allergic chronic inflammatory process of the complex.
Table 1. Clinical manifestations often associated and exacerbated due to allergic reactions in infants.
• gastrointestinal disorder: Gastrooesephageal reflux, frequent vomiting, spit up, bloated, “hiccup”, often pass gas, is often “ngeden / mulet”, often cranky, restless and colicky especially at night. Frequent stools (> 3 times per day), not Chapter every day. Stools green, dark and pungent. Umbilical hernia (navel protruding), Scrotalis, inguinal (lump in the groin, scrotal area or the navel or “hernia”) because ngeden so often in the abdominal pressure increases. Haunting white tongue (like mushrooms) and excessive salivation (drooling or salivating). His lips looked dry peeling.
• sensitive skin, often arising reddish spots or blotches, especially on the cheeks, ears and a closed diaper area. Crust in the region as a black former hair. Incurred bitten by mosquitos. The eyes, ears and hair around the area are often itchy, accompanied by enlargement of glands in the head behind. Excessive ear wax sometimes a bit smelly.
• breathing grunts, sometimes accompanied by an occasional cough, especially the night and early morning daylight disappeared. Shortness of newborn babies with enlarged glands thimus (TRDN / TTNB)
• Frequent sneezing, runny nose, nose dirt lot, the head is often tilted to one side (so that the head at risk “peyang”) because the nose clogged. The eyes are often watery or dirt haunting eyes one side / both sides.
• Often sweating (excessive). Head, palms or soles of the feet is often palpable Sumer / warm.
• Because of the excessive drinking or drinking frequently requested more lead weight and obesity (age <1year). Conversely weight loss occurs after the age of 4-6 months, because eating and drinking less
• Influence of hormonal disturbances: white / exit of blood from the vagina, red nodule arising pus, breast enlargement, hair loss, there is a lot of red nodule with a white liquid (toksikum erythema) or white papules
• PROBLEM DRINKING breast: frequent crying (because of abdominal discomfort) as requested to drink so much weight because of excessive drinking. Often crying is not necessarily due to thirst or not because of lack of breast milk. Often bite the nipple (aggressive) so that the wounds. Drinking milk is often choked, because clogged nose & mouth breathing. Drink more milk for a while on the one hand, because one side of the nose end, the long term can result in large breasts the next.
Table 2. Some disorders are often associated behaviors and exacerbated by an allergic reaction in babies.
• LITTLE NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS: Easily startled when a voice is annoying. Movement of the hands, feet and lips often shaky. Often extended leg straight and stiff. Breath holding spell: if the crying stopped breathing a few seconds sikter sometimes with blue lips and hands stiff. Often crossed eyes (strabismus physiological). Ganggguan seizures without EEG or seizure is not epilepsy (normal EEG)
• EXCESSIVE motor movement
Age less than 1 month already be tilted or turned around.
Age less than 6 months: eye / head babies often look upward. Hands and feet to move over, could not be covered. Head often driven by stiff back, so that the position of the baby’s body “curved” out. If in carrying not happy in a sleeping position, but preferred a standing position. Often moving, often moving the head and upper body back, hitting and hitting his head knock. Sometimes arise frequently rocking or head shook his head. Often fall out of bed.
• SLEEP DISORDERS (usually at night) restless, back and forth to the ends; when sleeping position “nungging” or stomach; talking, laughing, shouting in his sleep; trouble falling asleep or frequent eye open at night but sleep during the day; age over 9 months of night or waking suddenly sat down and sleep again,
• AGGRESSIVE AND EMOTION INCREASING, frequent crying, screaming, and when asked to drink milk in a hurry often impatient. At 6 months of age more often hit the face or pull the hair of people who carry. Often biting, licking the hands or the backs of people who carry. Often biting mother’s nipple for breastfed babies, after 4 months of age often excessively putting something into his mouth. Seems children often put into two hands or feet into his mouth.
• INTERRUPTION OF CONCENTRATION: quickly tired of the game and when given a picture often can not pay attention. Not at home in a small room like a baby box and narrow room. Frequently asked out to a spacious place, or outside the home.
• motor INTERFERENCE AND COORDINATION:
In the normal pattern of motor development is a back and forth, sitting, crawling and walking. In the late motor disorder is usually back and forth at 5 months of age, the age of 6 to 8 months is not sitting and crawling, after 8 months of age stood up and walked. Chewing or swallowing disorders, do not want to eat fiber such as vegetables and meat or delayed the team’s ability to eat rice (the normal age of 9 months).
• DELAY TALK: Not out says the age <15 months, ability to speak or ngoceh-ngoceh missing from the previous can. If there is no eye contact disturbances, hearing loss, and intellectual disorders are usually aged over 2 years improved.
• impulsive: many smiles and laughs too much, more dominant than the babbling scream.
• Long-term disruption will aggravate certain behavior when the child has a genetic talent such as ADHD (hyperactivity) and autism (hyperactivity, delays in speaking, disorders of socialization)
Some of these clinical manifestations are often found at the age of the baby, or perhaps experienced more than 50% of children. So many good opinions of the laity and even some clinicians who say that it is a normal disturbance occurs in all infants will also improve. But if we carefully observe this fact does not occur in all infants. It was clear when parents have more than one child. Will be obvious that several different children experience such disturbances.
Mild disorders that occur in these infants may be used as input for future allergic disorders. Shortness interference in newborns or risk TRDN at astma happened before school age. Bronchial hypersecretion symptoms or breathing "grunt-grunt" that occurred at the age of the baby, the next child would be at risk of this kind are sensitive to impaired breathing tract. Easy-risk children will cough, and when exposed to a breath Tract Infection is more severe symptoms of cough, breathlessness and longer recovery. Children who experience gastrointestinal disturbances such as night often fussy or colic. In later days risk-sensitive children will experience disruption of gastrointestinal disorders such as frequent abdominal pain, difficult CHAPTER, trouble eating or weight loss hard to take. While babies who experienced excessive motor disturbances and easily bored of toys and a small room then later touched an interruption risk concentration. These disorders can interfere with school achievement.
Many disorders at the age of the baby, later on will result in a risk of allergic disorders and other behavioral disorders in the future. Interference that can occur in the future is astma, sinusitis, Iritabel Bowel Disease (gastrointestinal disorders), migraine and so on. While behavioral disturbances that can occur in the future is to delay talking, insomnia, concentration problems, increased emotional, learning disorders, motor disorders such as easy to fall in crude and stumbling, disruption chewing process and so forth. Even children who have ADHD and genetic talent, accompanied by allergies autism may be minimized early disoder.
Disorders in infants is often regarded as normal were mild and did not seem dangerous. In these circumstances could have done prevention and early intervention. So that the organ disorders and behavioral disorders that occur in the future can be prevented or at least minimized early on. When you are convicted is considered normal and ordinary so that prevention efforts should be made to be ignored
CAUSE FOOD ALLERGIES IN BABIES
Food allergies more common in infants or children age than in adulthood. This was because not perfect and the gastrointestinal tract in children. Mechanical integrity of intestinal mucosa and is protective entry peristaltic allergens into the body. Chemically gastric acid and digestive enzymes cause the denaturation allergen. In imunologik Siga on mucosal surfaces and in the lamina propia lymphocytes can counteract the allergen into the body. In the immature intestinal immune system is still weak and failed to function so as to facilitate allergens, viruses and bacteria enter the body. With age, gastrointestinal immaturity is getting better. Usually after 2 years of the GI tract gradually improved. This is also a frequent cause allergic illness before age 2 years. This phenomenon also shows that when a baby or age children experience food allergies but in the age improved.
Symptoms and signs of allergic reaction in children can be caused by the presence of allergens from certain foods that some babies consumed. Allergens in food are proteins, glycoproteins or polypeptides with molecular weight of more than 18,000 Dalton, heat resistant and resistant proteolytic enzyme. Most of the food allergens are glycoproteins and ranges between 14,000 to 40,000 Dalton. Small molecules can also lead to more sensitivity (sensitization), either directly or through a hapten-carrier mechanism.
Cow’s milk is considered as a cause of food allergy in infants most frequently. Several studies in several countries in the world the prevalence of cow’s milk allergy in children in the first year of life of about 2%. Cow’s milk allergy is a collection of symptoms that many organs and body systems caused by allergy to cow’s milk. Hypersensitivity reaction to cow’s milk protein with the involvement of the immune system mechanisms. Cross reaction of food that does not involve the immune system mechanisms known as milk intolerance. Approximately 1-7% of infants are generally allergic to proteins found in cow’s milk. While approximately 80% of infant formula on the market was using the basic ingredients of cow’s milk. Cow’s milk allergy is a collection of symptoms that many organs and body systems caused by allergy to cow’s milk. Hypersensitivity reaction to cow’s milk protein with the involvement of the immune system mechanisms. Allergic to cow’s milk protein or an allergy to formula containing cow’s milk protein is a situation where someone has a system of immune reaction against the abnormal protein found in cow’s milk. Baby’s immune system will fight the protein contained in cow’s milk so that the symptoms of an allergic reaction will appear.
In infants exclusively breastfed only get the mother consumed a diet that is potentially causing allergic disorders. Maternal diet is great potential to cause interference in infants are the most common marine fish (especially small such as shrimp, clams, squid, etc.), peanuts and fruits (tomatoes, melons, watermelons).
When feeding 4-6 months of age, allergic symptoms in infants are often reciprocal. Types of food are often given and is giving cause interference fruits (oranges, and bananas), milk porridge (green beans), rice team (tomato, chicken, egg, fish (shrimp, squid, anchovy), cheese, etc. . So delay the provision of certain foods may reduce the risk of allergic disorders in children. According to some studies giving multivitamin allergy risk in infants was increased allergic disease later in life.
HANDLING
Handling of the best allergy in infants is to avoid these allergens. In food allergy allergy symptoms will diminish or disappear when the food as the cause avoided. It’s just a practical rather complicated to find the exact cause of the cause for allergy tests (allergy tests) can not confirm these allergens. So the way that is considered the most inexpensive and simple to ensure that allergens are open by simple elimination. If a complaint arises allergen terbut noted, though allergic to certain foods is not going on. With the increasing age of the child a certain food allergies will disappear, except for peanut meal and some marine fish usually live daopat to adulthood.
Handling allergy in infants should be carried out correctly, complete and continuous. Continuous drug delivery is not the best way of handling allergic, but the ideal is to avoid the causes that can cause allergies such complaints. Avoidance of this allergen should be accompanied by a good education to the parents or others in the neighborhood children. Provision of preventive medication allergies and other drugs is a form of failure in identifying and avoiding allergens. Symptomatic medications, anti-histamine (AHI and AH2), ketotifen, corticosteroids (both topical and oral), and inhibitors of prostaglandin sintesase can only temporarily alleviate symptoms, but generally have low efficiencies and have started many left ..
SINCE EARLY PREVENTION OF ALLERGIC
If there is a good family history of siblings, parents, grandparents or other close relatives who are allergic or asthma. And if there are children already features an allergy since birth, or even if possible detection since the pregnancy prevention should be done early. Risk of allergy in children in the future can be avoided if we can detect and prevent early.
Prevention of food allergy is divided into 3 phases, namely primary prevention, secondary and tertiary.
1. Primary prevention, aimed at inhibiting immunological by food, especially to prevent the formation of immunoglobulin E (IgE) .. Prevention is done before the sensitization or exposure to allergens. This can be done since the time of pregnancy.
2. Secondary prevention, aims to suppress the occurrence of disease after sensitization. Prevention is done after the sensitization, but the manifestation of allergic disease has not appeared. Sensitization condition is known by way of examination of specific IgE in the blood serum, umbilical cord blood or skin tests. When the optimal action is age 0 to 3 years.
3. Tertiary prevention, aiming to prevent further impacts after the emergence of allergies. Performed on children who have experienced the manifestation of sensitization and showed an early disease remains [i have not shown symptoms of allergic disease is more severe. When the optimal action is the age of 6 months to 4 years.
Contact with the antigen should be avoided during the vulnerable period in the early months of life, the immature T lymphocytes and the small bowel mucosa can be penetrated by food proteins. There are several prevention efforts need to be considered so that children avoid allergies complaints heavier and prolonged in the future:
• Avoid or minimize the causes of allergies in the womb, in this case by the mother. If pregnant women get a kick fetal movement or a loud and excessive movements in the womb with a hard throbbing (hiccups / hiccups), especially at night or early morning, the mother should have to begin to avoid allergens as early as possible. Committes on Nutrition elinasi AAP recommends a diet of beans for the prevention of allergies since the pregnancy.
• Giving early solids can increase the risk of allergies. Babies who get food at the age of 6 months has the incidence of allergic dermatitis is lower than the infants who began receiving extra food at the age of 3 months.
• Avoid exposure to dust in the environment such as the use of carpet, thick curtains, cotton mattresses, piles of clothes or books. Avoid triggers animals (cat pet hair, etc., cockroaches, mites on cotton mattress).
• Delay feeding causes allergies, such as chicken over 1 year, eggs, peanuts over the age of 2 years and fish over the age of 3 years.
• When buying food conditioned to know the composition of food or read the label on the product composition of these foods.
• Breastfeeding exclusively for 6 months can prevent the risk of allergy in infants. When the baby drinks milk, the mother also avoid food allergens. Food consumed by the mother can go to the baby through breast milk. Especially beans, and consider delaying egg, cow’s milk and fish. Although there are several contradictory studies about this.
• Nutrition Committes on AAP recommends giving calcium and vitamin supplements during lactation.
• If breastfeeding is not possible or if necessary, less use hypoallergenic milk formula for prevention, especially under the age of 6 bulan.Bila suspected allergy to cow’s milk using the milk protein can hidrolisat. The use of soya milk should still watch out because 30 – 50% infants were still experiencing allergic to soya.
• If allergic symptoms develop, identify and avoid tringgers.
Giving milk or milk protein during the first month hidrolisa. which proved very strong scientifically. Whereas the other is strong proven elimination of house dust mites in early life, elimination of allergens at age> 4 – 6 months and prebiotic consumption. Prevention by delaying solid foods still not much research reveals. While prevention by addition of omega-3 PUFAs, the addition of other nutrients (Zn, Ca, Fe, nucleotides) and the Immunotherapy is still questionable and needs further research. Provision of drugs and antihistamine ketotifen in the prevention of anti-inflammatory effects are not clinically proven and is becoming obsolete as a means of prevention.

You made a fair point, but have you really thought about how it might affect different people? I don’t say you are wrong, I just want to identify that there is more than 1 side to this story.
Nice article…you have covered many important topics, which obviously should be taken into consideration while rising the baby.
Keep it up…
Thanks
