TL;DR: The current understanding of the manifestations of food allergy, the role of diagnostic tests, and the effective management of patients of all ages with food allergy is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Testing for IgG4 against foods is not recommended as a diagnostic tool : EAACI Task Force Report
S. O. Stapel,Riccardo Asero,Barbara K. Ballmer-Weber,Edward F. Knol,S. Strobel,Stefan Vieths,Jörg Kleine-Tebbe +6 more
TL;DR: In conclusion, food‐specific IgG4 does not indicate (imminent) food allergy or intolerance, but rather a physiological response of the immune system after exposition to food components and should not be performed in case of food‐related complaints.
Journal ArticleDOI

Marija Geroldinger-Simic,Thomas A Zelniker,Werner Aberer,Christof Ebner,Cornelia Egger,Antonia Greiderer,Nicole Prem,Jonas Lidholm,Barbara K. Ballmer-Weber,Stefan Vieths,Barbara Bohle +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the prevalence, main symptoms, and triggers of birch pollen-related food allergy and the role of food-specific IgG 4 antibodies in food tolerance.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is important to consider severity and sensitivity as separate factors, as a highly sensitive individual will not necessarily experience severe symptoms during an allergic reaction, and the knowledge gaps that need to be addressed are identified.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This work has assessed IgE sensitization to food‐associated allergens in different regions of Europe using a common protocol and found that in general, IgE sensitivity to food allergens is higher in Europe than in the rest of the world.
