Can Egg Allergic Kids Eat Baked Egg?  The CAKE Study.

You are invited to participate in a study that aims to find out if eating products that contain baked egg
(eg cake, biscuits or muffins) helps raw egg allergic children outgrow their allergy to raw egg.

WHO CAN PARTICIPATE IN THIS STUDY?

• Children between 6 months and 5 years of age with;

-  A known egg allergy because they have eaten egg and had an immediate reaction or

-  Suspected egg allergy because they have had a documented positive skin test or blood test to egg, but have not eaten egg yet.

• All children need to be on an egg free diet and need to be able to have food challenges to egg.

This research project is being run by the Allergy Unit at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital, and the Women’s and Children’s Health Research Institute, Adelaide.
