Food allergy is a common codition for which there are currently no approved treatments except avoidance of allergic food and treatment of accidental reactions. There are several potential treatments that are under active investigation but it is not yet clear what the best approach may be.The predominant mechanism by which food allergy develops remains controversial, with some studies suggesting that primary sensitization through skin contact may be even more important than exposure via the gut. Although basic science has been helpful in understanding the mechanism by which the potential treatments for food allergy might work, to date most promising therapies have not come as a result of these discoveries but instead from clinical obeservation and modification of therapies previously developed. Some of the controversial therapies used are- Oral immunotherapy, Chinese herbal medicine, Anti-IgE, EpiPens.
