New Study: Combining Probiotics with Oral Immunotherapy for Peanut Allergy

Because probiotics are trendy these days, and news outfits tend to miss the detail: The study compared a *combination* of two therapies to a placebo. It didn’t compare probiotics+OIT to OIT alone, and other studies with OIT have had a comparable success rate. So there’s a good chance that the probiotics didn’t make a difference, and the effect was due entirely to the OIT.
