Nutritional management of China's "Minbao" starts with amino acid formula powder

Our reporter Liu Yanfang

The incidence of food allergy among infants and young children in China has continued to increase in recent years

The only gold standard for clinically diagnosed food allergy

Food allergy is a type of adverse food reaction, which means that one or more specific food ingredients sensitize the body after entering the human body, and re-entering can cause the body to produce an abnormal immune response to it, causing physiological dysfunction and/or tissue damage, This will lead to a series of clinical symptoms, which will cause a variety of harms to infants and young children in the near and long term

Because food allergy babies are usually young and unable to express themselves, and the symptoms are not specific, it is easy to be misdiagnosed and missed clinically; the symptoms cannot be relieved, the condition is repeated, the baby is crying, and the parents are anxious, which not only affects the family of the child, but also aggravates it.

"When babies have allergic symptoms, they should seek medical attention in time to find out the reasons

However, not only ordinary consumers are not clear about this gold standard, but many doctors at the grass-roots level are not fully aware of it, and the diagnosis is still based on experience

A full-link nutrition management solution for food allergies

Definitive diagnosis of food allergy and identification of allergenic foods is just the beginning

Cui Yutao pointed out that the step-down nutrition management plan started with amino acid formula-after feeding the amino acid formula for 6 months, the step-down is changed to a deeply hydrolyzed formula containing a small amount of allergens, and the feeding is continued for 3 months.

After recent years of popular science education, Chinese infant caregivers have formed a certain understanding of food allergies, but there are still many misunderstandings about the safety, efficacy and nutritional value of amino acid formula powder

Due to the mistaken belief that the nutrition of amino acid formula powder is not as good as that of ordinary formula powder, many parents stop using amino acid formula powder and transfer milk in advance after the child’s symptoms improve slightly

"From the day they gave their babies amino acid formula powder, mothers were thinking about when to stop

According to industry insiders, it has become an international trend to use amino acid formula powder as the preferred alternative formula for diagnostic food avoidance

Those things about amino acid formula powder

Unlike deeply hydrolyzed protein formula powder and partially hydrolyzed protein formula powder, amino acid formula powder does not contain milk ingredients at all, so it does not smell milky

Although it does not contain milk protein, amino acid formula powder, like ordinary formula powder, can provide the calories, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals needed for the growth and development of allergic babies from 0-12 months old.

　　Amino acid formula powder is also called "allergy-free formula", which means that the ingredients it contains will not cause any allergies

　　Amino acid formula powder is not obtained by "complete hydrolysis of milk protein"
