Powdered Milk Helps Kids Overcome Milk Allergy
Date:11/5/2008

ent in the last decade, with 3 million children in the United States having at least one food allergy. Being allergic to milk is the most prevalent one.

Most food allergies are managed through simple avoidance of the trigger foods in hope that the child will outgrow the allergy.

"Given that the quality of life of a child with a food allergy is comparable to the quality of life of a child with diabetes, we urgently need therapies that go beyond strict food avoidance or waiting for the child to outgrow the allergy," Wood said.

Wood said further research is necessary, so parents and caregivers should not try oral immunotherapy without medical supervision.
