Quality of Life in Food Allergy: Validation of Three Mini-questionnaires
The evaluation of the quality of life (QOL) in food allergy (AA) is difficult due to the lack of a currently validated questionnaire. There are only a few tools available to assess the impact of nutritional care on the QOL of the allergic patient . Available questionnaires are poorly adapted to studies dealing with large cohorts where functionality and ease of use are determining factors. The aim of this work will be to develop and validate QOL questionnaires for AA, short and easy to use, also integrating the theme of collective catering in order to assess the evolution of QOL in patients with food allergy. The target population of the questionnaires will be: i) the parents...

San Raffaele EoE Biobank
Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) is a immuno-mediated disease, characterised by a Th-2 food-antigen driven chronic inflammatory response of the esophagus. Main symptoms are dysphagia and food bolus impaction, frequently overlapping with most atypical and general symptoms like heartburn or regurgitation and difficulty to thrive in children. Overall incidence and prevalence of EoE are rapidly increasing. The complete comprehension of pathogenetic and molecular mechanism underlying this complex and relatively new disease is still to be conquered. For this reason, we created this EoE Biobank, in order to collect blood, oral and esophageal tissue samples of proven EoE patients to...

Impact of Zinc as a New Adjuvant Therapy for Cow Milk Protein Allergy in Children.
Children presented with manifestations of Cow Milk Protein Allergy will be enrolled for Cow Milk -related Symptoms Score (CoMiSS assessment). Detailed History, nutritional and clinical examination will be done to fulfill items of CoMiSS. Children will be randomly allocated to two groups. Oral Zinc will be supplemented to the interventional group. CoMiSS will be recorded at the baseline and weekly till 4 weeks. Then Oral Food Challenge (OFC) will be done to confirm the diagnosis and CoMiSS assessment will be recorded again to see if Zinc has any modulatory effect on reappearance of symptoms. The people administering the intervention, the people assessing the outcomes, the patients...

Improved Diagnostics in Food Allergy Study
The investigators will conduct low-dose intranasal allergen challenges on children and young people with an indeterminate diagnosis of food allergy to cow's milk or peanut. Blood samples will also be taken, for conventional blood allergy diagnostics (allergy-specific Immunoglobulin E) and mast cell activation test (MAT). The data will be used to determine the diagnostic accuracy of two complementary, novel approaches to diagnose food allergy, in a representative clinical cohort.
