Data of an evaluation of daily alimentary rations in 49 children, aged between 1 and 3 years, with food allergy and in children with both allergy and food intolerance, was compared with 25 healthy controls. Thatevaluation revealed too many restrictions in product selection for dietary consumption on one hand, without simultaneous correction of dietary levels of necessary elements on the other. The highest abnormalities in the consumption of nutrients were observed in the strictly limited diet of children with allergy and food intolerance, resulting from constant consideration of possible atopic symptoms, feared to occur, when the range of consumed products was in any way extended. The examined elimination diets have been poorly balanced, considering the energetic values, the contents of proteins, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins and microelements.
