IgE antibodies and response to cow's milk elimination diet in pediatric eosinophilic esophagitis

Elizabeth A Erwin et al. J Allergy Clin Immunol. 2016 Aug.

Abstract

Milk is a common cause of eosinophilic esophagitis. Allergy testing does not predict response to dietary therapy. In this study, patients with low or undetectable IgE antibodies to milk achieved histologic remission with milk elimination.
