Avoiding the Risks of Elimination Diets
| Overview / Abstract: |
The NIAID Food Allergy Guidelines Expert Panel recommends an elimination diet for the treatment of a properly diagnosed food allergy. Additionally, elimination of one or a few foods may be useful for diagnostic purposes, especially to help identify food triggers for certain non-IgE mediated allergies. Elimination diets, however, are not without risk. Children in particular are at increased risk of inadequate nutrient intake and poor growth. This course will address how to avoid those risks and provide recommended nutritional counseling and regular growth monitoring for children with food allergies. |
