What this Trial Is About
Pectins are dietary fibers that have shown a health effect on patients with food allergy, as they are capable of modifying the composition of gastrointestinal microbiota, and producing an immunomodulatory effect. Preliminary results by the investigators show that the intervention for 2 months with pectins produces an increase in tolerance to peach, and changes in the microbiota compared to the group of patients treated with placebo. In this project, the investigators aim to study these clinical effects and the involved mechanisms. Moreover, the long-term effect (clinical reactivity to nsLTP and immunomodulatory effect) of the dietary intervention will be prospectively evaluated 6 months after the intervention.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if you...
- Adults with a clear clinical history of food allergy after eating peach (oral allergy syndrome and/or systemic symptoms) and with or without clinical history of food allergy with peanut.
- Sensitization to Pru p 3 by positive skin prick test (SPT wheal area >7 mm2) and specific IgE (sIgE >0.35 kUA/L)
- Positive DBPCFC with peach juice.
- If clinical history of food allergy with peanut, sensitization must be confirmed by positive SPT to peanut and sIgE >0.35 kUA/L to Ara h 9 and clinical reactivity through a positive DBPCFC with peanut.
- Signed informed consent.
You will not qualify if you...
- Food allergy to corn.
- Food allergy to peanut due to sensitization to storage proteins.
- Previous or active treatment with sublingual immunotherapy to Pru p 3.
- Pregnancy or lactation.
- Active infections.
- Inflammatory, autoimmune, and/or oncological diseases.
- Severe immunodeficiency.
- Metabolic syndrome.
