Mada ovo po pitanju proljeva - meni se čini da je moguća i reakcija na antibiotik ako je baš tada dobio proljev, jer ipakantibiotik utječe na floru bakterija u crijevima, a mogu uzrokovati i baš alergije.
Giving baby sesame foods - what is a sesame allergy?
Sesame seeds come from the seed pods of the sesame plant. Some people experience a severe reaction to the protein found in sesame seeds and their derivatives.
Over recent decades, worldwide reports of allergic reactions to sesame seeds have greatly increased. The reason for this is not yet clear, but could be because
•sesame seeds are becoming more widely used across the world
•the rate of diagnosis and reporting of sesame allergy has improved
•more people are developing sensitivities to sesame foods
Allergy to sesame seeds is now the 9th most common food allergy worldwide.
This has prompted the European Commission and Canada to add sesame to their lists of major food allergens for labelling purposes. This means that manufacturers must clearly indiacate the presence of sesame in their products in these countries.
The US FDA, however, has not followed suit - so Americans suffering from sesame allergies have a hard time establishing which foods are safe for them to eat.
The rates of sesame allergy among children are particularly high...
...ranking 4th in Australia, behind egg, milk and peanut allergies and 3rd in Israel, where sesame foods like halva and tahini are popular and are often recommended for babies because of their high protein and iron content.
Giving baby sesame foods - what are the risks?
An allergy to sesame can provoke a very severe allergic reaction known as anaphylactic shock or allergic shock, which can be fatal.
Your baby is at a higher risk of experiencing an allergic reaction to sesame if he is
•under a year old
•if there is a family history of food allergy
•if he suffers from atopic dermatitis, or if there is a family history of atopic dermatitis
What is the connection between sesame allergy and atopic dermatitis?
Recent studies in Israel evaluated 10 patients with sesame allergies. Researchers noticed that ALL these patients (70% of whom were under 2 years old) were suffering from atopic dermatitis. It had already been established that infants with this condition are more prone to food allergy than would normally be expected - but this high rate of allergy to sesame seeds prompted researchers to recommend that sesame seeds should be eliminated from the diets of all infants with - or with a family history of - atopic dermatitis.

Giving baby sesame foods - how is sesame allergy diagnosed?
If you suspect that your baby has a sesame allergy, you should discuss this with your doctor.
