Overview
There are presently no established methods to prevent allergic colitis.[1]
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, extensively hydrolyzed formula rather than cow's milk may be used as a strategy to prevent allergy in high risk infants.[1]
