Scientists believe they may have discovered a cure for food allergies or at least a significant way to fight against them. It includes a bacterial compound that helps grow good gut bacteria to restore the gut's protective barrier. There's just one problem: No one wants to take it. Researchers say it smells like a blend of "dog poop and rancid butter" and it tastes just as bad. It has worked to prevent anaphylactic shock in lab mice, but people in the study had trouble swallowing it because of how wretched it is. Scientists say they're looking for a way to hide the smell and taste, because they think it could counteract many types of food allergies and inflammatory diseases.
