TI  - Efficacy of donkey's milk in treating highly problematic cow's milk allergic 
      children: an in vivo and in vitro study.
PG  - 258-64
AB  - Successful therapy in cow's milk protein allergy rests on completely eliminating 
      cow's milk proteins from the child's diet: it is thus necessary to provide a 
      replacement food. This prospective study investigated tolerance of donkey's milk 
      in a population of 46 selected children with cow's milk protein allergy, for whom 
      it was not possible to use any cow's milk substitute. Thirty-eight children 
      (82.6%) liked and tolerated donkey's milk at the challenge and for the entire 
      duration of follow-up. Catch-up growth was observed in all subjects with growth 
      deficit during cow's milk proteins challenge. The degree of cross-reactivity of 
      immunoglobulin E (IgE) with donkey's milk proteins was very weak and aspecific. 
      Donkey's milk was found to be a valid alternative to both IgE-mediated and 
      non-IgE-mediated cow's milk proteins allergy, including in terms of palatability 
      and weight-height gain.
