• Questions and Answers about Food Allergies in Dogs and Cats .
• How common are food allergies? .
• No one knows for sure how many pets have food allergies, but several numbers are frequently cited in the veterinary literature. Veterinary dermatologists suggest that adverse food reactions account for 1% to 6% of all dermatoses (skin diseases) in general practice and that food is the cause of 10% to 20% of allergic responses in dogs and cats. Food allergy is probably the third most common hypersensitivity skin disease in dogs and cats after flea allergy and atopy. ...
• Food allergies affect the gastrointestinal tract, but we do not know how often. Food sensitivity probably is involved in some cases of the two most common causes of inflammatory bowel disease and chronic vomiting and diarrhea in cats and dogs—lymphoplasmacytic enteritis and eosinophilic enteritis.
• What are the signs of food allergy? .
• The signs of a food allergy range from gastrointestinal (GI) signs such as vomiting and diarrhea to dermatologic (skin) reactions such as itching (pruritus), bumps (papules) and redness (erythema). In dogs, adverse food reactions typically occur as nonseasonal pruritic dermatitis, occasionally accompanied by GI signs. ... One-fourth of dogs with adverse food reactions have lesions only around their ears. In cats, head and neck pruritus is a particularly common manifestation of food allergy. ...
• Every part of the GI tract can be damaged by food allergies. ...

• Immunology of delayed food allergy.
• Source Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg, 113: 6, 1995 Dec, 702-4 Abstract Studies here and abroad are stockpiling evidence that immunoglobulin E explains only a small part of food allergy. Involvement of the entire immune system is evident if the more prevalent delayed-type food allergy is to be explained. To adequately diagnose food hypersensitivity a testing technique must be used that identifies delayed food allergy, such as the patch test here described, along with a test that diagnoses immediate immunoglobulin E-mediated food allergy.

• Source Ann Allergy, 69: 2, 1992 Aug, 143-6 .
• Abstract To evaluate humoral (IgE antibodies) and clinical (positive challenge test) soy hypersensitivity prevalence, we studied 317 children (271 boys and 100 girls) with a median age of 5 months (range 1-120) who visited the Division of Allergy and Clinical Immunology of the Pediatric Department of the University of Roma "La Sapienza" because of histories and symptoms suggestive of food allergy. ...
• METHODS: Retrospective chart review and follow-up questionnaire provided data on 266 subjects (113 males and 153 females) aged 12 to 75 years (mean age, 38 years) who were referred to a university-affiliated private allergy-immunology practice in Memphis, Tenn, for evaluation and management of anaphylaxis from January 1978 through March 1992. ... Physicians thought foods, spices, and food additives caused anaphylaxis in 89 individuals (34%); crustaceans and peanut accounted for about half of these cases. ... CONCLUSIONS: (1) Atopy is common in subjects who experience anaphylaxis, regardless of its origin; (2) crustaceans and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are the most common food and medication groups, respectively, thought to cause anaphylaxis; (3) causative agents can be identified for two thirds of the subjects, and recurrent attacks are the rule; and (4) subjects with idiopathic anaphylaxis are more likely to carry epinephrine for self-administration than those with identifiable causes. ...

• When I was retested for food allergies when Joel was about two years old, I found that I was allergic to citrus.

• Aims: To investigate the composition of milk antibodies, such as IgE, total S-IgA and S-IgA antibodies against food and inhalant allergens (ß-lactoglobulin, ovalbumin and cat allergen) in milk from atopic and non atopic mothers. ...
• Levels of S-IgA antibodies against foods and cat, were similar in the two groups during the lactation period, except for low levels of anti-OVA S-IgA in colostrum of atopic mothers. ...
• Total IgE, total S-IgA and S-IgA antibodies against foods and cat, as well as nucleotide and polyamine levels were similar in milk from mothers of allergic children. ...
• Low levels of n-6 and n-3 PUFA in transitional milk were related to maternal atopy, particularly low levels of n-3 PUFA and high AA/EPA ratio in maternal milk and high AA/EPA ratio in serum phospholipids in the infants were related to the development of allergy in the children. ...

• Just as inhalant allergy is common in people; it is also common in the dog and cat. ...
•   This means that not only atopy shows as itchy skin but so do food allergy and insect bite allergy. ...
• In the cat, the allergic pattern may be facial, may be reflected as hair loss, or may show as a rash of tiny “seed-like” scabs (called “miliary dermatitis”) in various areas of the body.
• If a cat seems to require an injection every other month, efforts should be made to seek an alternative form of management.
• Reliable itch control is frequently obtained but the “down side” is that the cat in question must take medication twice a day, potentially indefinately.
• FATTY ACID SUPPLEMENTS - These products are NOT analogous to adding oil to the pet's food. ...
• Just as people have allergy shots, so can pets; however, the process is not without difficulty and one should not expect hyposensitization to end all itchy skin concerns.
• Allergy shots require approximately 6-12 months to begin working. ...
• You will have to give the allergy shots yourself. ...
• It is often useful to have ruled out food allergy with an elimination diet trial prior to the skin test as food allergy/intolerance responds much more rapidly to diet correction than atopy does to hyposensitization. Food allergy and atopic dermatitis both present a similar distribution of itchiness and can be difficult to distinguish.
• As an alternative to skin testing, several blood tests have been developed to check for the presence of allergy-type antibodies in the blood. ...

• Food Intolerance and Allergies.
• Food intolerance is an adverse reaction to a specific food or food ingredients that occur each time the same food or food ingredient is eaten. Allergy is one type of food intolerance.
• Individuals who have a proven reaction to a food should avoid foods known to cause them problems. Although there are many people that feel they have an allergy, research in carefully controlled trials show that the actual number is very small. Sometimes a psychological based aversion to foods can be the problem this is known as food aversion.
• The diet is simple in principle, as it involves avoiding the food or group of foods that are known to cause the intolerance. Well known intolerances are Coeliac disease (see gluten free diets), milk allergy to milk protein or lack of the enzyme (lactase) to digest milk (see milk free diets) and peanut allergy (see peanut free diets).
• Removing a food may not have any detrimental effect to the diet, however, the more common the food is in the diet the more likely it is to cause a nutritional problem should it be removed. ...
• The most reliable way to assess if a food is causing a problem is to omit it from the diet, and then reintroduce it later on to see if the original symptoms reoccur. ...
• Possible offending foods are reintroduced into the basic diet at approximately 2-day intervals, and an intolerance is suspected if the introduced food causes problems.
• If a food is suspected as causing an 'intolerance', removing it from the diet may solve the problem. If there is no improvement after 4 weeks then the food should be reintroduced to the diet.
• A slightly easier method is to continue eating the usual diet but to record what is eaten in a food diary along with symptoms. It may be possible to match up the symptoms with the food and then eliminate it from the diet.
• There are numerous tests available which claim to identify potential food allergies. The British Allergy Foundation provides information on some of these tests, including those which are regarded as non-conventional and have no place in allergy testing.
