Fatty acids
Researchers at the Pomeranian Medical University Szczecin in Poland have identified a potential link between short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and the increased incidence of food allergies. The study found that patients with food allergies tend to have lower levels of SCFAs, particularly acetic, butyric, and propionic acids. The researchers suggest
Food hypersensitivity
Research from the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, in collaboration with the Food Allergy Science Initiative (FASI), has unveiled a high-resolution atlas of the enteric nervous system (ENS) in response to environmental changes, including microbiome manipulation and allergic inflammation. This groundbreaking study, published in Science, charts how microbes and

Evidence-based medicine
Research from Clinical Research Center for Allergy and Rheumatology has shed light on the potential of low-dose oral immunotherapy (OIT) in treating food allergies. According to the study, low-dose OIT has demonstrated efficacy in desensitizing patients to various food allergens, including milk, eggs, wheat, and peanuts. The treatment has shown
Allergens
A landmark study has found that food allergies in children under 3 decreased sharply in the years after new guidelines encouraged parents to introduce infants to common allergens, such as peanuts and eggs. The study, published in the journal Pediatrics, analyzed data from 125,000 children across nearly 50 pediatric
Allergens
According to a recent study published in Pediatrics, introducing peanuts in infancy has led to a significant reduction in childhood peanut allergies. The study found that among children ages 0-3 years, there was a 27.2% reduction in peanut allergy after guidance for high-risk children was first issued in 2015,
Food hypersensitivity
A landmark trial in 2015 found that feeding peanuts to babies could cut their chances of developing an allergy by over 80 percent, leading to a reversal of the longstanding guidance to avoid peanuts. Following the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases' formal recommendation in 2017, the introduction
Food hypersensitivity
A large Northwestern Medicine study reveals that white parents are more likely to introduce peanut-containing foods to their infants, reducing the risk of peanut allergies later in childhood. However, parents from racial and ethnic minority groups, lower-income families, and those with less formal education are less likely to receive this
Food hypersensitivity
A new study published in Academic Pediatrics has found that despite clear guidelines recommending early introduction of peanuts to infants to reduce the risk of peanut allergies, many parents, particularly those from racial and ethnic minority groups and lower-income backgrounds, are not receiving this potentially lifesaving guidance from their pediatricians.
Food hypersensitivity
A recent Northwestern University study has revealed alarming disparities in the guidance parents receive from their pediatricians on introducing peanuts to their infants. The study, published in Academic Pediatrics, surveyed over 3,000 U.S. parents of children aged seven to 42 months and found significant racial and socioeconomic disparities
