    For most people, there's no reason to give up gluten for good.

    But that's not so easy for folks with two gluten-related medical conditions: celiac disease and gluten intolerance, according to Dr. Sarmed Sami, a gastroenterologist at Mayo Clinic Healthcare in London.

    Early and gradual exposure to peanuts under medical supervision curbed infants' allergies, according to a new study.

    While researchers had seen that peanut oral immunotherapy was well tolerated by toddlers, this research focused on an even younger age group.
