  Guidelines published by the Australian\nSociety of Clinical Immunology and Allergy (ASCIA) state that babies should\nhave egg and peanut included into their diet within their first year of life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  These guidelines were published between 2016\nand 2018 in the Medical Journal of Australia. The recommendations include\ngiving children solid foods at 6 months of age, including egg and peanut before\n12 months, but only after 4 months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Hydrolysed formula is no longer considered\nhelpful for the prevention of allergic diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  One of the authors of the study, Dr Preeti\nJoshi, wrote: \u201cfood allergy has been increasing in incidence worldwide, with\nrates in Australia among the highest in the world\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Joshi wrote that in a Melbourne-based study\ncalled HealthNuts, 10 per cent of children under the age of 1 year had a proven\nfood allergy. Egg allergies affected 8.9% of these infants and peanut allergy\n3%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  He said that the most common allergens in\nAustralia include egg, cow\u2019s milk, wheat, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, fish and\nshellfish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  The LEAP (Learning Early About Peanut\nallergy) study randomly assorted 640 children between the ages of 4 and 11\nmonths who had severe eczema or egg allergy, or both. Children were assigned to\neither consume or avoid peanut containing foods. After 60 months, a peanut\nallergy test was conducted. In the peanut avoidance group there were 13.7% of\nallergy sufferers. In the peanut consumption group, the prevalence of allergy\nsufferers was just 1.9%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  This research would seem to indicate that\nintroducing peanut into an infant\u2019s diet after 4 months and before 12 months of\nage is helpful in building immunity to some allergens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  The researchers conducting these surveys are\nhopeful that this new information can help lower the number of children and\nadults who suffer from severe allergies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Dr Joshi and his colleagues recommended that\nparents consult their family doctor to learn the best ways of introducing egg\nand peanut products into their child\u2019s diet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  He also stated that: \u201cIt is hoped that current ASICIA guidelines will assist in reversing the upward trajectory of early onset allergy disease in Australia, and that further research will continue.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
