This is Housecall for Health. Peanut allergy sufferers may soon know the joy of peanut-butter flavored goodness after a study found effectiveness in an oral treatment.
Researches gave children with the allergy a probiotic with a peanut protein daily for 18 months.
A lead researcher told BBC News that it's the first time a treatment for the allergy was shown to be effective for such a long period of time. She said the main takeaway is that children who had an allergy were able to eat them the same as children who do not have an allergy, and that over time they remained tolerant of the previous allergen.

As you might expect, millennials gave the prospect the highest rate of approval at 64 percent: "Pretty overwhelming response and for any company to get that level of response,
you're certainly very excited about moving forward and fulfilling that need in the community."
In fact for the last two years, it's gotten a test run in Iowa and with the favorable results, they're looking to expand there as well as in states like Colorado, Louisiana, Maryland and Virginia.
