Overview

There are presently no established methods to prevent allergic colitis.

Primary Prevention

There are presently no established primary preventive measures available for allergic colitis. However, exclusive breastfeeding is recommended for all infants in the first 4 to 6 months of life to reduce the risk of developing allergic diseases except when medically contraindicated. Where exclusive breastfeeding is not feasible in the first 4 to 6 months of life, extensive hydrolyzed formula rather than cow’s milk may be considered to prevent allergy in at-risk infants.^[1]
