This year we are pleased to be part of a very special conference aimed at healthcare professionals with an interest in child nutrition.

The conferences include different sessions from February to June, all taught by dietitians. In our case, as expected, we will talk about DAO deficiency in pediatrics.

How does excess histamine due to DAO deficiency affect a child?

If they are very young, it may be difficult for us to relate their symptoms to DAO deficiency, unless their main symptom is urticaria and they do not have any type of allergy. But usually the most common symptoms are:

• Intestinal irregularities
• Abdominal swelling
• Vomiting
• Pruritus
• Fatigue
• Bad mood
• Lack of concentration and attention
