[edit] EPD
Should EPD be included under treatment? It's debatable if it works or not, but it is available in Canada and Europe. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enzyme_Potentiated_Desensitisation
[edit] Addenbrooke’s Clinical Trial
Cambridge University AddenBrooke's Hospital just released details of a successful clinical trial for Hyposensitization of food allergies, specifically peanuts.
- see also http://www.nhs.uk/news/2009/02February/Pages/Peanutallergytreatment.aspx which gives a link to the paper

[edit] Food allergy vs food intolerance
[edit] Needs more on non-IgE food allergies
There is a good deal of recent evidence on non-IgE food allergies - that is, adverse immune system reactions to food proteins, other than celiac disease. More of that needs to be in this article. There's a Wikipedia article on food intolerance, which includes a partial discussion of non-IgE food allergies. But, that discussion doesn't belong in the food intolerance article, since food intolerance is defined as a non-immune reaction to a food. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Puffysphere (talk • contribs) 16:10, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Cause Section
Nothing in the cause section actually explains the causes of food allergies. Perhaps it should be renamed? 76.114.25.97 (talk) 05:07, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
