Description
The purpose of this research study is to understand what happens to the immune systems and gut microbiomes (gut bacteria) of people who have a food allergy while they undergo an oral desensitization protocol. We will also study the immune systems and gut microbiomes of people without food allergy to better understand if the changes we see are due to oral desensitization or to natural development of these systems.
