A promising study from the University of Michigan and its Mary H. Weiser Food Allergy Center

The new study shows two doses of a nanoparticle called inulin prevented allergic reactions in mice for common peanut, egg white and milk allergies. The study which was published in "Advanced Healthcare Materials" now needs several clinical trials. Researchers are hoping this approach will aid people who suffer from severe peanut and tree nut allergies. The study emphasizes the role played by the small intestine with regard to food allergy regulation.
