Eating away at food allergy. [PDF]
Fitness/endurance as an analogy to food desensitization. Both involve exposing the body to an activity initially poorly tolerated to gain capacity: In food treatments this is the capacity to eat more of the food and in exercise it is the capacity to exercise. When viewed as such it may not be surprising that with most currently available treatments the

Safety and Efficacy of Very Low-Dose Multi-Nut Oral Immunotherapy in Children. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Oral immunotherapy (OIT) is a management strategy for food allergies, typically one at a time, with maintenance doses ≥ 300 mg protein. However, 30% of allergic children have multiple trigger foods, and large maintenance doses are associated with side effects. If efficacious, Very Low‐Dose OIT (VLOIT) may enhance safety in multi‐OIT.

Mechanisms of desensitization with oral immunotherapy and epicutaneous immunotherapy. [PDF]
Background: Oral immunotherapy (OIT) and epicutaneous immunotherapy (EPIT) are emerging therapies for food allergy. With several recently published exploratory trials and randomized controlled clinical trials that support these procedures, there is a clear progress and interest toward making these treatment options available for allergist ...

Food allergy: Epicutaneous immunotherapy. [PDF]
The goal of allergen-specific immunotherapy for treatment of immunoglobulin E (IgE) mediated food allergy is to safely and effectively modify the allergic response, providing protection against anaphylaxis via ongoing exposure to the triggering allergen.

Epicutaneous Immunotherapy with CBir1 Alleviates Intestinal Inflammation. [PDF]
Abstract Background Inflammatory bowel disease may be due to failed tolerance to normal gut bacteria. We demonstrate that epicutaneous immunotherapy (ET) to ovalbumin can alleviate colitis in murine models. However, most people are tolerant to or have anergy to ovalbumin.
