Multiple food allergy.

Ann Allergy

Published: February 1975

This paper is devoted to a study of multiple food allergy, here defined as sensitivity to three or more foods. The purpose of the study is to report findings obtained from a study of 250 private patients and to show what type of persons develop this condition, how it affects them, and what their common allergens are. It was found that multiple food allergy occurs in both sexes and at all ages but is more common in boys than in girls and more common in women then in men. The clinical manifestations were much like those caused by the more familiar inhalant allergy but with a much more widespread constitutional disturbance. The great majority of patients (86%) also reacted to such air-borne allergens as molds, pollens, house dust, and animal epithelials. This indicates that food allergy and inhalant allergy are fundamentally the same phenomenon. The common food allergens were such everyday foods as milk, chocolate, corn, egg, tomato, peanut, and citrus fruits.

Want to Help Your Patients with Food Allergy Anxiety? Do Proximity Challenges!

Ann Allergy Asthma Immunol

March 2025

Division of Allergy and Immunology, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Electronic address:

Excessive anxiety regarding the potential for accidental and fatal cross-contamination is very common among patients and families with food allergy and contributes significantly to burden, reduced quality of life, and poorer management. In their landmark paper published nearly a decade ago, Dinakar and colleagues recommended that food allergists incorporate proximity food challenges such as smelling or touching an allergen into regular clinical practice to improve patient knowledge regarding safety and relative risk and reduce anxiety. Such proximity challenges are akin to the exposure tasks routinely employed to treat anxiety in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), the first-line psychosocial intervention for anxiety disorders.

Background: Walnut () frequently triggers nut allergies in the United Kingdom and in the United States, with increasing cases in Japan. While oral food challenges (OFCs) are the definitive method for diagnosing these allergies, they pose the risk of symptom provocation, necessitating safer alternative tests. Our aim here was to evaluate the diagnostic utility of IgE (immunoglobulin E) crosslinking-induced luciferase expression (EXiLE) for walnut allergy compared with the walnut-specific IgE (sIgE) test, Jug r 1-sIgE test, and skin prick test (SPT).
