Elimination Diet
The Cincinnati Center for Eosinophilic Disorders (CCED) at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center provides information for patients and families on the elimination diet.
What is an elimination diet?
An elimination diet involves avoiding a specific food which has been implicated in causing an eosinophil-associated gastrointestinal disorder (EGID). These foods are usually identified by skin prick or patch testing.
Attitude is Everything
It's natural to miss old favorite foods for a short time. Try to focus on foods your child can eat!
Testing and treatment for food related allergies should be guided with the supervision of a trained physician in the field.
