AI Article Synopsis
- Most babies with food allergies will get better as they grow up, but about 1 in 5 will still have allergies when they start school.
- Some new studies show that kids can become less allergic by slowly eating small amounts of the food they're allergic to.
- These studies are showing that 80% of kids either completely or partially get over their food allergies, which is a really good sign!
Article Abstract
Although most infants will recover from food allergy within the early years of life, at least one fifth will carry on with the disease until school age. Recent studies have managed to develop increased tolerance in children with food allergy by food hyposensitization with slowly increasing orally administered doses. In these studies either complete or partial increase of food tolerance for 80% of subjects has been achieved. The clinical results seem promising, and immunologic changes upon food hyposensitization look similar to those observed with other hyposensitization therapies.
