Temporary food sensitive enteropathies affect infants, causing abnormal small intestinal mucosa. Symptoms resolve with diet elimination and return upon reintroduction of the offending food, like cow's milk.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Gastroenterology
  • Immunology
  • Nutrition Science

Background:

  • Food sensitive enteropathies are classified as permanent (e.g., Celiac disease) or temporary.
  • Temporary forms often occur in early childhood and can follow gastroenteritis.
  • These conditions involve reversible damage to the small intestinal mucosa.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the characteristics of temporary food sensitive enteropathies in infants.
  • To identify common dietary triggers and current treatment strategies.
  • To highlight the unresolved question of their temporary nature.

Main Methods:

  • Clinical observation and dietary intervention studies.
  • Diagnostic confirmation through elimination diets and food challenges.

  • Review of existing literature on infant enteropathies.

    • Main Results:

    • Cow's milk sensitive enteropathy is the most prevalent.
    • Other potential triggers include soy protein, egg, fish, chicken, rice, and gluten.
    • Abnormal mucosa normalizes upon food elimination and recurs upon reintroduction.

    Conclusions:

    • Temporary food sensitive enteropathies are characterized by reversible small intestinal mucosal abnormalities.
    • Treatment involves dietary elimination and specialized formulas, such as protein hydrolysates for cow's milk allergy.
    • The underlying mechanisms for the temporary nature of these enteropathies remain to be elucidated.
