The Benefits of Human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMO) on Immunity

Melkeskolen – del 1 (Vibeke Fossum): Som helsesykepleier møter man ofte små barn med diffuse symptomer som kan minne om melkeallergi. Men når skal man mistenke melkeallergi? Hvordan skille mellom sutrete normale barn og syke barn? Hvordan stilles diagnosen kumelkproteinallergi, og hva er veien videre for mor og barn? Barnelege Vibeke Fossum vil gi deg svare på dette og mye mer.

In this 45 min webinar you can listen to pediatrician and phd Carina Saunders discuss recent research on early development of the microbiome, from pre-birth to solid foods. Even before birth the gut microbiome starts developing. After that there’s several environmental factors that become important in this development. Dr.Saunders also touches on subjects such as early introduction of allergens and composition of diet ones the child starts solid foods.

This lecture will cover key topics, including the typical symptoms and predictors of GERD in children, as well as overlapping symptoms that may indicate other diagnoses. Dr. Ralf Heine will discuss the diagnostic criteria and current international and nordic guidelines for assessment, along with recommended treatment options. Additionally, the session will explore the connections between Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders (FGID) and Cow's Milk Protein Allergy (CMPA), highlighting relevant research that informs clinical practice. 

Diagnosis of functional disorders in infants poses a challenge to clinicians as symptoms of different conditions often overlap or simply represent normal infant behaviors. CoMiSS™ can support clinicians in determining if symptoms are related to cow’s milk or not.    

Anna Asarnoj, MD PhD, Associate Professor, Consultant Pediatrician and Pediatric Allergist, gives this two part lecture on both prevention, diagnosis and treatment of allergies. Log in to see the full lecture.

Can Human Milk Oligosaccharides modulate the allergic response and improve the management of cow's milk protein allergy? 

Differentiating milk allergy (IgE and non-IgE from lactose intolerance: understanding the underlying mechanisms and presentations.

To characterize the peptide profile of a whey-based, extensively hydrolysed formula (eHF) prepared with a non porcine enzyme blend, and to assess whether it meets the hypoallergenicity criteria of the Ame...

Lactose intolerance is one of the more common forms of food intolerance and is often confused with cows' milk allergy. This video explains the differences in both symptoms, diagnosis and treatment. It also explains the different types of lactose intolerance. (date 07/09/2018)

To determine whether an extensively hydrolyzed formula (EHF) supplemented with two human milk oligosaccharides (HMO) was tolerated by infants with cow’s milk protein allergy (CMPA). Methods: A whey-based EHF (Test formula) containing 2′fucosyl-lactose (2′FL) and lacto-N-neotetraose (LNnT) was assessed for clinical hypoallergenicity and safety. The Control formula was...

The aim of the symposium was to share learnings from the recently established European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) Task Force on special products for cow’s milk protein allergy (CMPA), with the intention of providing an overview on controversies regarding extensively hydrolysed formulas (eHFs), their utility, and the validity of the definition ‘special products ...
