ABSTRACT
The usefulness of hypoallergenic rice (HRS-1) was clinically evaluated in 43 patients with severe atopic dermatitis (AD), who were suspected of having rice allergy, in collaboration with 13 hospitals. The patients were fed with HRS-1 instead of eliminating both regular rice and wheat from their daily diet. AD area and severity index (ADASI) was calculated as an indicator of the degree of cutaneous symptoms. Significant decrease of ADASI were observed in the 2nd and 4th week and at the end of the replacement therapy (5.6 weeks on average). On final evaluation, 74% of the patients tested showed "moderate" to "remarkable" improvement, and in 53% of the patients HRS-1 resulted in a "moderate" to "remarkable" reduction in the dosage and the grade of potency of the steroid ointment concomitantly used for the treatment. Finally, HRS-1 was evaluated as "useful" to "very useful" as the elimination diet in 70% of the patients.
