INhaled Salbutamol vs Placebo for the Treatment of Acute IgE-mediated Abdominal Pain From Allergic Food REactions

IgE-mediated Abdominal Pain

The goal of this study is to assess the efficacy of inhaled salbutamol to treat abdominal pain during food allergic reactions.

Patients experiencing abominal pain as a result of a food allergic reaction during a food challenge in the allergy clinic will be invited to participate to the study.

They will receive either 8 puffs of salbutamol (asthma inhaler) or 8 puffs of a placebo inhaler.

The abdominal pain will then be followed using a numeric scale to see if patients receiving the medication experienced a faster improvement compared to those receiving the placebo.
