Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This article summarises recent developments on the prevention of food allergy in terms of the 5 D's of the development of food allergy: dry skin, diet, dogs, dribble, and vitamin D. RECENT FINDINGS: While several advances have improved our understanding of the development of food allergy, few preventive strategies have been implemented beyond changes in infant feeding guidelines. These now state that the introduction of allergenic solids such as peanuts should occur in the first year of life. Results from randomised controlled trials on other allergenic solids, vitamin D supplementation, BCG immunisation at birth and eczema prevention are eagerly anticipated in order to inform further preventative strategies.
