The article presents an analysis of the literature on food intolerance (FS) associated with the presence in the diet of fermentable oligodimosaccharides and polyols FODMAP (fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols), histamine and food additives. The relationship between FS and insufficient activity of enzymes of the small intestine mucosa, in particular, in patients with irritable bowel syndrome, is discussed. FS often noted in them forces them to strictly adhere to the elimination diet and significantly impair the quality of life due to dissatisfaction with the results of treatment. Analysis of the literature has confirmed in many patients with irritable bowel syndrome an etiotropic relationship with poor food tolerance and dictates the need for randomized studies to further study the pathogenetic mechanisms of increasing food tolerance under the influence of cytoprotective therapy.

ReviewMimics of Allergy and Angioedema: Scombroid, Mast Cell Activation Disorders, and Hereditary Alpha Tryptasemia.
Scombroid poisoning, systemic mastocytosis, and hereditary alpha tryptasemia all present with episodes that resemble allergic reactions. Knowledge regarding systemic mastocytosis and hereditary alpha tryptasemia is quickly evolving. ⋯ Evidence-based management in the emergency setting and beyond is also explored and summarized. Key differences are described between these events and allergic reactions.

Diabetic neuropathic pain is associated with small fiber neuropathy. We aimed to assess the functionality of small fibers in patients with diabetes by using a practical method. ⋯ There is an unmet need to practically assess the functionality of small fibers in patients with pain. In this study, a practical and objective method that does not need special expertise for the measurement of the functional properties of small fibers by using axon-flare responses is presented. The LASCA method could potentially facilitate a practical, quick (within 5 minutes), and very early diagnosis of small fiber hypo-functionality in both patients with IGT and DNP.
