Dietary Factors May Delay Tolerance Acquisition in Food Protein-Induced Allergic Proctocolitis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Dietary and environmental factors may influence tolerance acquisition in food protein-induced allergic proctocolitis (FPIAP). This retrospective observational study explored the role of maternal diet during pregnancy and breastfeeding in tolerance acquisition in infantile FPIAP.

Methods
