A recent report from Bambino Gesu Children's Hospital in Rome discusses the use of specialized formulas for infants with cow's milk allergy (CMA) when breastfeeding is not possible. The report highlights the uncertainty surrounding the most suitable choice of formula and the potential benefits of adding probiotics. The World Allergy Organization (WAO) has developed evidence-based guidelines to assist patients and clinicians in making decisions about the use of specialized formulas for individuals with CMA. The recommendations suggest using extensively hydrolyzed cow's milk protein formula or hydrolyzed rice formula as the first option, with amino acid formula or soy formula as alternatives. The recommendations are labeled as 'conditional' due to the limited certainty of the available evidence. The report emphasizes the importance of considering the potential consequences of each formula and involving patients and caregivers in the decision-making process. Further research is needed to determine the most beneficial and cost-effective formulas. [Extracted from the article] |
