Background: Knowledge about the natural history of food allergy, especially sesame, is scarce.Objective: To follow the natural history of food allergies in Israel, particularly of sesame allergy.Methods: The Survey was conducted based on clinical records and a detailed questionnaire of children diagnosed as having food allergy.Results: We found 234 children with suspected food allergy. Testing detected 283 allergies in 180 patients (77%) with confirmed diagnosis. The most common allergies were to cow's milk (n = 125), eggs (n = 71), sesame (n = 30), and soy (n 23). Of those with milk allergy, 69% were IgE mediated (group 1) and 31% were non-IgE mediated (group 2). Group I was more likely to have an atopic background than was group 2 (P =.003), whereas group 2 was more likely to have resolution of the allergy (35 of 39 [90%] in group 2 compared with only 32 of 86 [37%] in group 1, P
