NHS Trial Shows Promise in Treating Severe Food Allergies with Everyday Foods

Early results from a groundbreaking trial suggest that controlled exposure to allergens can significantly increase tolerance in children.

The £2.5 million study, inspired by Natasha Ednan-Laperouse's tragic death, tests the efficacy of oral immunotherapy using common foods.
Participants, ranging from toddlers to young adults, exhibit increased resistance to allergens like peanuts and milk under medical supervision.
Families report reduced anxiety and broader dietary options as children gradually tolerate higher amounts of allergens.
The trial, conducted across multiple UK hospitals, could influence future national health policies on allergy treatment.
Final results expected in 2027, with potential widespread implementation of the treatment on the NHS.
