Cow's Milk Allergy In Infants

A Review of the Immune Benefits of 2’-Fucosyllactose Human Milk Oligosaccharide and Pre-clinical Evidence of Its Effects on Food Allergies

A course that reviews the emerging role of the human milk oligosaccharide, 2'-fucosyllactose (2'-FL) in allergy modulation; discusses 2'-FL potential mechanisms of action; and recognizes the importance of breastfeeding. Originally presented from Abbott Nutrition Health Institute (ANHI) on June 6, 2019 at the ESPGHAN Conference in Glasgow, Scotland.

Immune Dysregulation in Allergy

In this video that was originally presented from ANHI, professor Loscher discusses normal immune development in infants; reviews the dysregulation in the immune system that results in allergic responses; describes how we can manipulate the immune system to overcome this dysregulation; and explains the differences between breastfed and bottle-fed infants.

Clinical Presentations of Cow's Milk Allergy in Infants and Children

In this course that was originally presented from ANHI, cow’s milk allergy (CMA) is defined; its clinical features are discussed; dietary management is reviewed; and case-study presentations are reviewed.
