To acquaint the reader with the idea of precision medicine in food allergy by presenting the most current advances in illness diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy was the purpose of the study. A new age has begun with the introduction of omics sciences. Food protein allergen characterisation and quantification, in conjunction with immunoglobulin E epitope mapping, will aid in the diagnosis/prognosis of food allergy and lead to a more accurate evaluation of food safety. The development of biomarkers capable of identifying certain phenotypes and endotypes will increase diagnostic accuracy. This, along with a greater understanding of the mechanisms of action of the various treatment alternatives, will allow for the proper patient selection.
Advances in technology and data interpretation will enable a better understanding of the aetiology of food allergy in the near future, as well as the creation of a personalised treatment suited to the particular patient’s profile.
