Low Nickel Diet: A Patient-Centered Review
‘ A meta review by Jensen specifically assessed elicitation of SCD due to nickel ingestion, and found that 1% of those sensitized to nickel react to the nickel content of a “normal” diet, defined as 0.22 mg, 0.35 mg, or 0.53 mg [12]. Furthermore, a dose-response relationship was revealed showing 10% of nickel sensitized patients responding to exposures between 0.55 mg and 0.89 mg.
