Abstract
Influence of the elimination of causative food in children with food allergy on the intake of foods and nutrients of their family was studied by food frequency questionnaire based on food groups (FFQg), estimation of intake foods by photograph and some questionnaire to the mothers. Non-allergic mothers of the patients were proved to take less eggs, milk, beans and calcium. Non-allergic siblings were restricted to take eggs, but there was no defective intake of any nutrients.
The compliance of elimination of the causative food was better in the allergic children whose mother did also not take the food. These observations indicate the necessity of the care for the dietary habit of the family of food allergy children.
