Vandenplas Y.: feeding disorders of infancy and in cows’-milk allergy
Dr Alex Knisely today speaks with Prof Yvan Vandenplas of Brussels, where he was chief of paediatrics for many years. He’s a hollow-viscus gastroenterologist rather than a “liver man”, and he has made many contributions in his chosen field, particularly in feeding disorders of infancy and in cows’-milk allergy, a topic on which he has selected three articles for us, all published in 2023 : From JPGN, “An ESPGHAN position paper on the diagnosis, management and prevention of cow's milk allergy”, with him as lead author, and (both by Meyer R et al.) from World Allergy Organization Journal, “World Allergy Organization (WAO) Diagnosis and Rationale for Action against Cow’s Milk Allergy (DRACMA) Guideline update – VII – Milk elimination and reintroduction in the diagnostic process of cow’s milk allergy” and from Pediatric Allergy and Immunology, “The role of online symptom questionnaires to support the diagnosis of cow's milk allergy in children for healthcare professionals – A Delphi consensus study”. What is known about cows’-milk allergy, how to decide if cows’-milk allergy is a strong consideration in a particular patient, how to approach diagnosis and treatment in such a patient, and what may come next – all taken up in this podcast, which we hope you will enjoy.
