Who does not see a compassionate kid aged 18 months with the condition of the nose "meler" and almost every cough and cold days. Azriel, the name of the kid, the reaction has revealed that his mother's, Ria Resti (25), who have a history of dust allergy and asthma suffering. Allergies five is not a disease. Hipersensitivas allergic reaction is the body of the environment or materials that are considered by foreign bodies or dangerous. Allergic reactions usually appear when the seat has a congenital tendency (genetic) as Azriel. Allergy symptoms can occur at all ages, but most often occur in children. Children born of parents who both have allergies are at risk of allergy is exposed to up to 80 percent. While the children are one of the parents have a history of allergy risk 40 percent.

In addition to genetic factors, allergies can also appear due to environmental factors, ie factors of infection and the pollutant. Pollutant is oxygen-oxygen that does not directly cause the damage but allergic bunker (barrier) in the body. For example, pollution, dust, mite, fungus spore, or fur.
Meanwhile, the baby seat and usually enter through the channel pollutant dissolved, which comes from food. Foods that can trigger allergies include cow milk, eggs, seafood, and nuts.
Five cases of allergy increased from year to year. "In the last 10 years was increasing due to food allergy cases up to 500 percent," said Dr.Pete Smith, Associate Professor Medical Clinic of Griffith University, Australia, in a seminar Dietary Prevention of Allergy in Jakarta some time ago.

Susu sapi protein can cause allergy who lived until the end of childhood, whether in the form of susu pure form or another. Although there are usually allergic to milk a cow is usually lost along with the alimentary tract matangnya baby.

T-cell imbalance
Theory of why the recent success of a child suffering from allergies while others do not. This is apparently caused by T-cells, ie, cells that play a role in immune response, especially in recognizing the presence of foreign substances that enter the body.

T cells in this body there are two, ie, T cell helper I (Th I) prevent the duty of infection in, for example, against cancer cells, T cells and helper II (Th II), which prevent the infection from outside, such as bacteria or viruses. "When Th II dominate, then there will be a reaction to someone," said dr.Zakiudin Munasir, Sp.A (K), the Head of Sub-Section of Allergy-immunology Child Health Sciences Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia.

People in healthy condition, Th I and Th II is balanced. "To menyeimbangkannya required regulatory T cells, ie cells that," Zaki said the doctor. This explains a study that says the other probiotik in line digested akan regulators to stimulate T penyeimbangan T cells in the body and prevent allergies.

Studies in meta-analysis of six studies on allergy and probiotik made against five in 2080, the figure accident allergic eczema due to decrease significantly (95 percent). However Smith said that the research on this matter still needs to be done, considering there are some good types of bacteria.

Giving probiotik for babies and under five, according to Smith, in the form of susu. "Probiotik akan reproduce themselves in the intestine, therefore, since the very early suggested," he said.

Senada with Smith, the doctor said that Zaki allergy prevention is crucial during the first six months of life babies. "If the talent has been known since allergy early, parents can create a strategy to reduce the risk of allergy with the meal pattern," he said.

When the baby has a risk of allergy, the doctor suggested that Zaki given exclusive breastfeeding. "Mother is breastfeeding should also avoid foods that trigger allergies, such as nuts, eggs or milk, and replace it with another food that gizinya balanced," said Chairman of the UKK Allergies immunological regulation IDAI this.

However, even though pregnant women have allergies it is not recommended due to avoidance of food research shows Th II in pregnant women is high. "Mother does not need to get pregnant because the baby food avoidance can be less nutrition," said Zaki doctor. He suggested that pregnant women stop smoking because it can increase the value Th II.

Meanwhile, for mothers who can not be recommended to give breastmilk to susu hipoalergenik containing probiotik. Next up to the age of one year, doctors recommend that parents Zaki delay the provision of food that can trigger allergic. The consumption of omega-3 fatty acid containing and vitamin D are also recommended for five years because of the evident risk of allergy. In addition to avoiding foods that hiperalergenik, should also be done to avoid alergen derived from the environment, such as dust and cigarette smoke.

Why should allergies be prevented? "Babies exposed to five or allergies, when dewasanya easily affected by allergies, such as asthma or rhinitis (runny nose cough)," Zaki said the doctor. The development of allergy is called a road march or to allergy. With the development of science, especially molecular biology are considered early intervention is very important that are expected to change the disease process.
