Feeding eggs in early age to avoid allergy: It was published at the American College of Allergy and recommends that children be exposed to eggs early to reduce egg allergy.
Eggs are one of the most sought-after ingredients in all kitchens. This is because it’s not only easy to prepare. However, it can help to make a delicious dinner in no time.
Although all and all love egg yolks, some are allergic to eggs. In the egg case, allergy is said as one of the most frequent food allergies in the world.
But, we have found an answer for those suffering from egg allergies. A new study suggests that children should be exposed to eggs early to reduce the risk of having an egg allergy. This research is presented in the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology Annual Scientific Meeting.
Researchers studied infants from birth until six years of age in this study. “We discovered that children who had not had eggs introduced before twelve months had a higher chance suffer from egg allergy by six years of age,” stated Allergy and Immunology Associate Giulia Martone MD, ACAAI member and the lead author for the research study.
According to an ANI report, 14 out of 2237 surveys (0.6 percent) said they had an egg allergy by one-year-old, while eleven of the 1379 surveys (0.8 percent) had reported an egg allergy as early as six years.
Children who had an egg allergy between the ages of 1 and 6 years of age have a lower frequency of egg consumption between the ages of 5, 7, and 10 months old.
Researchers further stated, “Current research suggests that the early introduction of eggs during the infant stage, followed by consistent and frequent feeds, maybe to protect from developing an egg allergy. However, we are still examining the optimal timing for the introduction of eggs to infants and the frequency of food intake.”
