: Pediatric patients with non-IgE-mediated gastrointestinal food allergies (non-IgE-GIFAs) may experience alterations of nutritional status. This non-randomized, prospective intervention study investigated the impact of dietary counseling on nutritional status in pediatric patients with non-IgE-GIFAs. : Patients of both sexes aged 0-14 years newly diagnosed with non-IgE-GIFAs received dietary counseling provided by certified pediatric dietitians immediately after diagnosis. Nutritional status parameters were assessed to identify nutritional status alterations at baseline and after 12 months of intervention (T12). : The study included 100 patients (58% male, mean age 8.5 ± 8.8 months). Non-IgE-GIFAs phenotypes included food protein-induced enteropathy (FPE, 44%), food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES, 11%), food protein-induced allergic proctocolitis (FPIAP, 17%), and food protein-induced motility disorders (FPIMD, 28%). At diagnosis, 1% was affected by obesity (1 FPIAP), 5% were affected by overweight (2 FPE, 1 FPIAP, and 2 FPIMD), 7% were moderately underweight (5 FPE and 2 FPIMD), 1% was severely underweight (1 FPE), 7% were moderately stunted (4 FPE, 1 FPIAP, and 2 FPIMD), 16% were moderately wasted (11 FPE, 1 FPIES, 1 FPIAP, and 3 FPIMD), and 4% were severely wasted (2 FPE and 2 FPIMD). At T12, improvements in anthropometric parameters were observed, along with a reduction in the prevalence of malnutrition by excess (6% at diagnosis vs. 2% at T12) and a reduction in the undernutrition subtypes rate, including underweight, stunting, and wasting (26% at diagnosis vs. 3% at T12, < 0.001). : Non-IgE-GIFAs can negatively impact the nutritional status of pediatric patients. Thus, dietary counseling could be an effective strategy for preventing and managing nutritional alterations in these patients.
患有非IgE介导的胃肠道食物过敏(non-IgE-GIFAs)的儿科患者可能会出现营养状况的改变。这项非随机前瞻性干预研究调查了饮食咨询对患有non-IgE-GIFAs的儿科患者营养状况的影响。0至14岁新诊断为non-IgE-GIFAs的男女患者在诊断后立即接受了由认证儿科营养师提供的饮食咨询。评估营养状况参数以确定基线时和干预12个月后(T12)的营养状况改变。该研究纳入了100名患者(58%为男性,平均年龄8.5±8.8个月)。Non-IgE-GIFAs的表型包括食物蛋白诱导的小肠病(FPE,44%)、食物蛋白诱导的小肠结肠炎综合征(FPIES,11%)、食物蛋白诱导的过敏性直肠结肠炎(FPIAP,17%)和食物蛋白诱导的运动障碍(FPIMD,28%)。在诊断时,1%受肥胖影响(1例FPIAP),5%受超重影响(2例FPE、1例FPIAP和2例FPIMD),7%中度体重不足(5例FPE和2例FPIMD),1%严重体重不足(1例FPE),7%中度发育迟缓(4例FPE、1例FPIAP和2例FPIMD),16%中度消瘦(11例FPE、1例FPIES、1例FPIAP和3例FPIMD),4%严重消瘦(2例FPE和2例FPIMD)。在T12时,观察到人体测量参数有所改善,同时营养过剩导致的营养不良患病率降低(诊断时为6%,T12时为2%),包括体重不足、发育迟缓和消瘦在内的营养不良亚型发生率降低(诊断时为26%,T12时为3%,<0.001)。Non-IgE-GIFAs会对儿科患者的营养状况产生负面影响。因此,饮食咨询可能是预防和管理这些患者营养改变的有效策略。
