Summary

* Hypothesis 1: Food allergies are associated with poor growth which can be corrected with nutrition intervention.

* More than 10% of children with multiple food allergies will have a weight-for-age z-score less than - 2 at diagnosis. The z-score is a measure of the distance from the mean value, or 50th percentile on the growth chart. A z-score of less than - 2 indicates that the child is underweight.
* Growth parameters of children with multiple food allergies will improve after intervention by a team that includes a dietitian and an allergist.
* Hypothesis 2: Food allergies are associated with low micronutrient intake which can be corrected with nutrition intervention.

o More than 30% of children with multiple food allergies will consume less than 67% of the Dietary Reference Intake for at least one macronutrient or micronutrient at diagnosis.
* Macronutrient and micronutrient intake will increase after intervention by a team that includes a dietitian and an allergist.

o

• Hypothesis 3: Food allergies are related to behavioral feeding problems which can be corrected with nutrition intervention.

* At least 25% of children with multiple food allergies will have behavioral feeding problems at diagnosis.
* Prevalence of behavioral feeding problems will decrease after nutrition intervention.
