Abstract:
This article is written about gastrointestinal food allergies in children. Gastrointestinal food allergy is caused by the development of allergic inflammation in the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract, the mechanisms of which are both immunoglobulin-E (IgE)-mediated (oral allergic syndrome, immediate gastrointestinal hypersensitivity) and non-IgE-mediated (protein-induced hypersensitivity).
