Prevalence of Food Allergy and Intolerance in Children Based On MAST CLA and ALCAT Tests
Investigators Krzysztof Buczylko, Tadeusz Obarzanowski, Krzysztof Rosiak, Grzegorz Staskiewicz, Anita Fiszer, Slawomir Chmielewski, and Jan Kowalczyk performed a single blind study with 56 children with atopic disease; they were investigated for IgE allergy and screened for food sensitivities using ALCAT. Foods were removed from the patients diets based on both forms of testing. Frequently, only the ALCAT test oriented diet gave symptom improvement.
