This is a study of 150 children, all of whom were referred with a diagnosis of an “allergic” disease. Ninety-seven had atopic eczema, nonseasonal asthma, or both. Most of these patients were quite ill. Of the ninety-seven children, sixty-seven had a positive clinical food history or positive food tests. They were designated as having preliminary evidence of food allergy. These sixty-seven were observed for a period of three years. Forty-seven had proved food sensitivities. They were sensitive to a total of 121 foods. The manifestation of their food sensitivities were mostly unrelated to the asthma or eczema. Even when wheezing and eczema appeared to be due to food allergy, one could not be certain of this since these youngsters were having asthma or eczema most of the time. |
