AI Article Synopsis
- Buckwheat (BW) allergy is a major concern in Asia, and this review focuses on three types: immediate food allergy, food-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis (FDEIA), and food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES).
- Most research on BW allergy has been conducted in Japan and Korea, with limited studies outside of Asia, identifying key allergenic components in both common and Tartary buckwheat.
- The review emphasizes that while general tests for immediate BW allergy have limited effectiveness, specific IgE testing for Fag e 3 and skin prick tests are valuable diagnostic tools, and calls for more comprehensive research in this area.
Article Abstract
Purpose Of Review: Buckwheat (BW) allergy is a significant issue in Asia. This review delves into three types of BW allergy: immediate food allergy; food-dependent, exercise-induced anaphylaxis (FDEIA) as a subset of immediate food allergy; and food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES); by comparing data from Asian and non-Asian countries.
Recent Findings: Most studies on BW have been published in Japan and Korea, and only a few studies on the topic have been done outside Asia. To date, seven components of common BW (Fagopyrum esculentum) and four components of Tartary BW (Fagopyrum tartaricum) have been implicated in BW allergy. Although BW-sIgE has limited utility for evaluating immediate BW allergy, Fag e 3-specific IgE, one of the components of common BW, and the skin prick test are diagnostically useful. The present review aims to shed light on the current state of knowledge, highlight research gaps, and suggest future directions in the management and understanding of BW allergy.

Food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) is a non-immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated food allergy. IgE sensitization to the causative food is often not observed, and the rate of sensitization to other common foods is not exceptionally high. This report discusses the case of a boy being followed up for FPIES due to egg yolk, who developed a buckwheat allergy during the disease.

Background: Oral food challenge tests are considered the reference standard for diagnosing food allergies; however, studies on their real-world implementation rates are limited.
Objective: The study aimed to investigate the proportion of school-age children who underwent the oral food challenge test and to understand the motivations behind food elimination and utilization of various health care services.
Methods: The questionnaire-based survey for the parents of the students who submitted the "Certificate for School Life Management (For Allergic Diseases)" was conducted across public elementary and junior high schools in Gifu prefecture, Japan.

Article Synopsis
- - Wheat and buckwheat allergies significantly affect patients' health and well-being, with wheat allergy including various types such as food allergies and exercise-induced reactions, while buckwheat allergy is becoming more recognized in certain areas.
- - Advanced diagnostic technologies that identify specific allergen components, like ω-5 gliadin, are enhancing the accuracy of allergy diagnosis and management, with oral challenge tests being the gold standard.
- - Ongoing research focuses on understanding the characteristics of these allergens to improve diagnostic tools and treatment strategies, ultimately aiming to enhance patient care and quality of life, as highlighted in recent guidelines by the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.

: Urticaria is a common disease with a marked influence on quality of life. The key cell involved is the mast cell, which can be activated by a vast variety of stimuli, and the major mediator is histamine. Allergic urticaria is a disorder with a large variety of causes: food, drugs, insect venom, skin contact with allergens, and physical exercise.

Article Synopsis
- Lipid transfer protein (LTP) is a key protein linked to food-induced anaphylaxis, particularly in Mediterranean European countries, but this was the first reported case in China.
- A 12-year-old boy in China suffered from recurrent anaphylaxis triggered by intense exercise and showed high immunoglobulin E levels sensitized to various foods and pollens, especially mugwort and multiple grains and fruits.
- After receiving guidance on avoiding certain foods before exercise and carrying an epinephrine auto-injector, the boy experienced no further episodes over a 6-month follow-up, highlighting the need for awareness of LTP in similar cases.
