Food allergy as a risk factor for nutritional rickets

A T Fox et al. Pediatr Allergy Immunol. 2004 Dec.

Abstract

The case of a 14-month-old boy with vitamin D deficiency rickets as a result of unsupervised dietary manipulation in the context of cow's milk allergy is presented. Adequate supervision by a qualified dietician, coupled with appropriate supplementation, is essential if nutritional compromise is to be avoided in children with food allergy.
