The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology published a review conducted by an international team of researchers, which focus on the benefits and risks of using dietary elimination as a treatment for atopic dermatitis (AD). The review analyzed 10 randomized controlled trials that involved dietary eliminations ranging from two to 32 weeks. The researchers assessed the effect of dietary elimination on eczema severity using SCORAD, considering an 8.7-point improvement as a minimally important difference.
Could food play a role in causing or perpetuating AD?
