Dataset Information

Dietary baked milk accelerates the resolution of cow's milk allergy in children.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The majority (approximately 75%) of children with cow's milk allergy tolerate extensively heated (baked) milk products. Long-term effects of inclusion of dietary baked milk have not been reported.

Objective

We report on the outcomes of children who incorporated baked milk products into their diets.

Methods

Children evaluated for tolerance to baked milk (muffin) underwent sequential food challenges to baked cheese (pizza) followed by unheated milk. Immunologic parameters were measured at challenge visits. The comparison group was matched to active subjects (by using age, sex, and baseline milk-specific IgE levels) to evaluate the natural history of development of tolerance.
