Abstract
Previous evidence base studies were evaluated for treatments of allergen elimination/restriction diet therapy in atopic dermatitis. These were 5 studies of effictive results for restriction diets in childhood atopic dermatitis with randomized controlled trials (RTCs) and some evidence to support egg and milk-free diets in egg allergic or unselected atopic eczema. There was no evidence to support the validity for the use in adult patients. There was insufficient evidence to make recommendations on maternal allergen avoidance for disease prevention.
Although there were some study results on delayed positive reactions for blind challenges, patch test, lymphoblast genesis test relatid foods in atopic eczema in some random sequence, there was insufficient evidence to support the clinical efficacy for allergen elimination diet.
