Abstract EN
Many common foods including cow’s milk, hen’s egg, soya, peanut, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, and wheat may cause food allergies.
The prevalence of these immune-mediated adverse reactions to foods ranges from 0.5% to 9% in different populations.
In simple terms, the cornerstone of managing food allergy is to avoid consumption of foods causing symptoms and to replace them with nutritionally equivalent foods.
If poorly managed, food allergy impairs quality of life more than necessary, affects normal growth in children, and causes an additional economic burden to society.
Delay in diagnosis may be a further incremental factor.
Thus, an increased awareness of the appropriate procedures for both diagnosis and management is of importance.
This paper sets out to present principles for taking an allergy-focused diet history as part of the diagnostic work-up of food allergy.
A short overview of guidelines and principles for dietary management of food allergy is discussed focusing on the nutritional management of food allergies and the particular role of the dietitian in this process.
