0-5 year aged children diagnosed with cow's milk allergy (CMA) and healthy age-sex-matched children as the control group was planned for inclusion. The study will constitute of two groups; group 1; the children who received cow's milk elimination (CME) diet and group 2; the healthy controls. Group 1 will constitute of children aged 0-5 years who received a CME diet due to CMA (Ig E-mediated and/or non-Ig E-mediated and/or mixed type)], confirmed by an oral food challenge test (OFC) and had reintroduced cow's milk for at least ≥ three months ago. Participants will be included in the study by consecutive sampling. The anthropometric measurements (height-for-age [HFA], weight-for-age [WFA], and weight-for-height [WtHt]) will be evaluated according to the Z-score using the WHO ANTHRO [Z-score = Patient's value - Average value / Standard Deviation (SD)]. The Z-score (SDS) in the average child by age was 0.
