- Abstract
Intestinal allergic states are common, but so are misconceptions about them. Since cow milk is one of the most common foods to produce an adverse immunologic reaction, it serves here as a prototype of food allergy in general. The mechanism of this reaction and its clinical and laboratory manifestations vary considerably from patient to patient. Once the diagnosis is established, however, treatment is relatively straightforward.
