Gut bacteria based therapy may help reverse food allergies
Scientists have identified a species of bacteria in the human infant gut that protects against food allergies and may be used in therapies to reverse the condition. In preclinical studies in a mouse model of food allergy, it was founded that giving an enriched oral formulation of five or six species of bacteria found in the human gut protected against food allergies and reversed established disease by reinforcing tolerance of food allergens.
