Table 2.
Casein-specific IgA levels in children with milk-FPIES and control groups [other-food-FPIES, children with IgE-mediated milk allergy when they were maintained on a milk-free diet (Baked milk allergic, baseline) and the same children 10 months after they became tolerant to regular milk and have been ingesting milk on a regular basis (tolerant). Apart from negative controls and other-food-FPIES patients all other groups had comparable casein-specific IgA levels.
