Evaluation of diagnosis and management of omega-5-gliadin allergy: A retrospective survey
Journal of Asthma and Allergy Apr 22, 2021
Zubrinich C, Puy R, O'Hehir R, et al. - Researchers analyzed people suffering from O-5-G allergy (allergy to the omega-5-gliadin component of gluten), who had a consistent clinical history and confirmatory laboratory evidence, to determine the beneficial impacts of establishing a firm diagnosis as well as of stringent management, either by preventing gluten ingestion altogether or separating it temporally from exercise by at least 4 hours. It was also inquired how often patients adhered to their physicians’ clinical recommendations. There were 80 eligible people, of which, 43 responded (54%). Symptoms commenced in adulthood for all bar one, and uncommon was concurrent asthma and eczema. Non-adherence to the advised stringent approach (to either avoid wheat/gluten or separate food and exercise by 4 hours) was seen in many patients (10/43). However, a substantially lower risk of recurrent allergic reaction was observed in patients who adopted a stringent approach. According to findings, O-5-G allergy epidemiology implies pathogenic mechanisms potentially distinct from those of childhood-onset food allergy. Precise diagnosis resulted in improvement of the clinical trajectory, mainly via the adoption of a stringent management approach.
