A study in Spain aims to overcome allergies to milk and eggs

Research is under way at the University Hospital of Navarre in Spain to eliminate allergic milk and egg reactions.the hospital is taking a step-by-step approach, allowing patients to initially be exposed to small amounts of milk and eggs and then gradually increase. It claims that in less than two months for eggs and three to four months for milk, patients can eat a glass of milk or an egg a day.

Goikoetxea
, an expert in the Department of Perverted Response and Immunology atHospital, points out that milk and eggs exist not only as basic foods in most deli products, but also as ingredients or traces., overcoming a patient's allergies can greatly improve their quality of life and give them access to a range of foods that are currently out of reach."In general, about
80
percent of children spontaneously overcome this allergy by the age of
3,
, but it is still
20
percent," Goikoetxea
stressed. " very positive results she said, the treatment has been applied to other hospitals in Spain and has been carried out at the University Hospital of Navarre since the beginning of the year, with very good results.If we target a child or teenager, we can see that after treatment, they can eat cake in the morning, have a fried egg or a cup of yogurt for dinner, and they don't have to check the labels of all the products they consume." When they are patients, they can't eat anything that contains milk and eggs. However in order for treatment to be effective, patients who have established an anti-allergic reaction must continue to consume these products regularly," said Goikoetxea
. This is the maintenance phase, where the patient has one cup of milk a day and
3
eggs a week, because if we eliminate the stimulation of these foods, we may lose our tolerance again. Theis called food desensitization, induced oral immune tolerance, or food immunotherapy, which involves manipulating and correcting the body's defenses.
