Clinical evaluation of food allergy and food intolerance dietary treatment in children.
Dietary treatment with Humana SL (33) or Prosobee (42) was administered to 75 children at the age from 1 month to 3 years with cow's milk allergy (36), coeliac disease (9), secondary enteropathy (30). The treatment time ranged from a few days (in case of intolerance symptoms) to 12 months. In 13 children intolerance symptoms or unwillingness to take food was observed: in 4 (12%) after the application of Humana SL and in 9 (21%) after Prosobee. Lack of improvement after Prosobee treatment was observed in 4 (10%) children, and in 4 (12%) children with Humana SL. The partial or total relief of symptoms was observed in others (Humana SL-76%, Prosobee-69%). Analysis showed good results of Humana SL and Prosobee treatment of food allergy and intolerance. Both are usually well tolerated by children, however Humana SL seems to taste better and be better accepted. Intolerance symptoms or lack of improvement were most often observed in children at the age of 1-2 months.
