Fecal transplant shows promise for treating food allergies in early trial

In a first-of-its-kind clinical trial, researchers used fecal microbiota transplantation—a "poo transplant"—from healthy donors to treat severe food allergies in people. The approach appeared safe and produced encouraging results, suggesting that altering gut bacteria could reduce allergic reactions. While larger studies are needed, the findings point to a potential new therapy for a condition with few treatment options beyond strict avoidance.
