1033 Peculiarities in Fatty Acids Profile in Children with Food Allergy

Elimination diet (ED) in children with food allergy (FA) could be responsible of inadequate caloric and essential fatty acids (EFA) intake. We investigated the plasmatic profile of EFA in children with FA on ED. Methods. Prospective multicenter study including children with FA (6-36 m) on ED for at least 30 days compared to healthy children. EFA were measured by capillary gas-chromatography at the enrolment (T0) and after 6 m (T1) of elimination diet established after specific dietary counseling. Results. We enrolled 86 children with FA, and 66 healthy controls. The length of ED diet was 10.8 m (95%CI 8-14 m). Table reports EFA profiles in study groups (*p
