Gastrointestinal allergic disease.

Gastrointestinal allergic disease undoubtedly does exist, but its frequency has been tremendously overrated. It is believed that in many cases there is not sufficient evidence for attributing chronic, recurrent digestive disturbances to allergic reaction, and that skepticism is particularly important because such a diagnosis exposes the patient to an unwarranted type of dietary management that is complicated, frequently unwise, and not too infrequently used as a substitute for critical clinical thinking. The demonstration and subsequent elimination of allergic substances that may at times be productive of digestive symptoms is, of course, important, and when based on proper evaluation of a carefully taken history will undoubtedly yield brilliant results.
