Pilot study of the use of ORGANIC food products in the diet of infants with atopic dermatitis
Abstract
In the past decades, there have been publications suggesting the positive effect of organic farming food products on the health of children, including allergic persons. The paper presents the results of assessing the tolerance of BIBICALL organic fruit-and-vegetable purées in atopic dermatitis infants of the first year of life. A pilot open-label uncontrolled trial was conducted in 80 healthy full-term babies aged 5 tо 10 months with atopic dermatitis who were breast or formula fed; their diet was tightly controlled in 22 infants. When additional foods were given, 78 patients were observed to have no exacerbation throughout the follow-up. It is concluded that organic food products even with high sensitizing activity (such as carrot purée) may be added to the diet of babies with atopic dermatitis remission in the absence of sensitization, gastrointestinal tract dysfunction. Addition of ORGANIC vegetable and fruit purées was shown to have a significant favorable regulatory impact on gastrointestinal function, which showed as normalization of motor disorders (including colic χ2=20,31; p<0,05, regurgitation χ2=18,37; p<0,01), tympanism (χ2=4,99; p<0,05), and adequate digestion.
