“…Disturbingly, given the prevalence of severe reactions, the diagnosis of sesame allergy is difficult, particularly in adults. In a British study, of 10 patients with positive oral challenge to sesame, some of which had severe allergic reactions, 90% had no detectable IgE to sesame in vitro or negative skin tests with extracts or various sesame products [ 104 ].…”

Vegan diets are currently attracting a great deal of attention. However, avoiding animal-based foods restricts the diet and is associated with risks, the extent and medical implications of which are at present not sufficiently understood. Elimination diets represent the usual therapeutic long-term management in the presence of food allergy. In order to understand the risks of vegan diets and to discuss these critically from the perspective of food allergies, the expertise of a nutritionist/dietitian with expertise in this area is indispensable. This position paper deals with the incentives behind and the benefits of a plant-based diet. The knowledge required to cover macro- and micronutrient dietary requirements is presented. Using the avoidance of cow’s milk as an example, the challenges of adequately meeting nutritional needs are identified and (so-called) milk alternatives are evaluated from an allergy and nutritional point of view. Finally, other plant-based (substitute) products are evaluated from the same perspective, as significant protein sources in vegan diets (e.g., legumes, nuts, and seeds) are at the same time potential and potent triggers of allergic reactions. However, the allergic potential of many substitute products cannot be fully assessed at present due to gaps in research. Wheat as the most important trigger for anaphylaxis in adults is also evaluated. Finally, the increase in ultra-processed products in the (vegan) food sector and their potential consequences for the immune system are discussed.

“…For people who are allergic to sesame, the main symptoms include skin redness, urticaria, respiratory distress, angioedema, and gastrointestinal discomfort. In severe cases, the allergy can be life threatening (Li et al, 2017;Sarinho et al, 2017). According to epidemiological investigations, most patients with sesame allergy are infants and young children.…”
