Background People suffering from food allergies must study food ingredients prior to consumption. While the Internet facilitates this information acquisition, little is known about consumer experiences. One aim of the BELANA trial (Burdens and Expenses of Living as Adult with Nutrition based Allergy or Intolerance) was to study the use of, and satisfaction with, Internet information sources by those strongly affected by food allergies.
