Food allergies News

Researchers have for the first time bred low allergy wheat varieties, in an attempt towards reducing the proteins in wheat that are responsible for diseases.

Over 70 percent of the kids had experienced food allergy reactions in the previous year, with almost 40 percent reporting at least three reactions, the survey found.

Food allergies were not associated with symptoms of childhood depression or with symptoms of anxiety or depression among their caregivers.

The study showed that the single treatment may give life-long protection from asthma as well as those who have severe allergies to peanuts, bee venom, shell fish and other substances by de-sensitising the immune system to tolerate the protein.

Woman who consume oily fish during pregnancy or breast-feeding may lessen the risk of their kids developing asthma, food allergies or hay fever.

Researchers from Canada have come up with a new immunotherapy technique that is capable of curing food allergies.

The treatment, called epicutaneous immunotherapy or EPIT, was safe and well-tolerated, and nearly all participants used the skin patch daily as directed.

Asthma can't be cured, but studies claim that making certain changes in your lifestyle can help improve the symptoms in patients.

The researchers found that children with existing food allergy were at increased risk of developing asthma and allergic rhinitis.

Previous studies showed that peanut OIT in older children can offer some protection against potentially life-threatening anaphylaxis caused by peanut exposure.

According to researchers the children, who have more limited exposure to novel foods than adults, are more susceptible to food allergies.
