The best treatment for food allergy is complete avoidance of the allergenic food. This means that alternative foods must be found to provide the missing nutrients. Identifying alternative foods is especially crucial in the case of young children because they are in a phase of rapid growth and development. Soy-based infant formulas have been used since 1929 to feed infants with cow's milk protein allergies. Today's soy formulas are equivalent to cow's milk formulas in digestibility, nutrition profile, and acceptability.
