Colitis caused by food allergy in infants.
Department of Child Health, Institute of Child Health, London.
Thirteen infants with eosinophilic colitis caused by food allergy were reviewed after five to 10 years. By the age of 5 years most foods were tolerated. The colon was normal in the one child re-examined. There was an atopic association, but no family history of classical inflammatory bowel disease. Allergic colitis is a temporary disorder of early childhood.
