Objective: To analyze scientific evidence on the impacts of food restriction on the growth and development of children in pre-school age with a history of food allergy. Method: This integrative literature review that aimed to answer the following guiding question "What are the impacts of food restriction on the growth and development of children in the preschool phase with a history of food allergy?". The database search was conducted on Scopus, PubMed, LILACS and CINAHL platforms, in August 2020. Results: Of the 9 articles included, 55.56% were in Scopus, all were in English and 33.33% were case-control. The publications found a greater number of children who manifested mediated immunoglobulin E allergy, who used to avoid 1 or more foods, especially cow's milk. Reductions in Z scores (≤ -2) in height / age, weight / age and weight / height were observed among children with food allergy and food restriction. Conclusion: The articles were limited to certain areas and to a medium level of evidence. However, they were not restricted to assessing the growth of children allergic to foods on a restrictive diet, investigating, among other factors, the quality of life of caregivers and serum concentrations of vitamins.
