ABSTRACT

Food allergy(FA) seems to be increasing world wide which is roughly divided into IgE mediated or non-IgE mediated FA(NFA).NFA primarily affects the gastrointestinal mucosa which is far less understanding the immunological mechanisms than IgE-mediated FA.Clinicians sometimes experienced confusion due to delayed onset of symptoms and subsequent difficulty in making the clinical association between offending food and clinical symptoms.The lack of easily accessible diagnostic measures also contributes to the problem.The diagnosis of NFA usually is established in the eliminated of food allergen and food challenge test.In this paper,the diagnosis and treatment of NFA is introduced combined with our clinical practice experience.
