The discussion about adverse food reactions and their associated health problems has grown in quality and intensity over the last several decades.
Estimates of the prevalence of adverse food reactions vary widely depending on whether they are defined using the "gold standard"--DBPCFC (double-blind placebo-controlled food challenge)--or as reported reports by patients and their families.
Similarly, nearly one-third of parents perceive adverse food reactions to be responsible for a multitude of symptoms in their children and modify their children's diets in response (Bock 1987).
