Purpose of review To underline the main characteristics of the non-Immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated food allergies (food protein-induced allergic proctocolitis food protein-induced enteropathy and food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome ), which are common diseases in primary care and in allergy and gastroenterology specialty practices evaluating children. Recent findings Non-IgE-mediated food allergies comprise a spectrum of diseases with peculiar features affecting infants and young children. The most prominent features of these diseases are symptoms that affect mainly the gastrointestinal tract. It is of paramount importance to provide the clinicians with the tools for non-IgE-mediated food allergy recognition in clinical practice to avoid the misdiagnosis with unnecessary laboratory tests and detrimental treatments.

Abstract
Purpose of review To underline the main characteristics of the non-Immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated food allergies (food protein-induced allergic proctocolitis food protein-induced enteropathy and food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome ), which are common diseases in primary care and in allergy and gastroenterology specialty practices evaluating children. Recent findings Non-IgE-mediated food allergies comprise a spectrum of diseases with peculiar features affecting infants and young children. The most prominent features of these diseases are symptoms that affect mainly the gastrointestinal tract. It is of paramount importance to provide the clinicians with the tools for non-IgE-mediated food allergy recognition in clinical practice to avoid the misdiagnosis with unnecessary laboratory tests and detrimental treatments.I documenti in FLORE sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
